A Day in the Life ..

So that new blog I was all excited about...I deleted it. I am so unmotivated. I think it's that whole jobless thing that's bringing me down.

I've been killing time for the past two weeks as I wait to begin subbing. On Monday, I discovered that I could watch True Blood online. So I did. I watched all 12 episodes of the first season and 10 episodes of the second season in the span of two days. That is a solid 22 hours of me laying in my bed staring at my computer screen. One of those two days, my sister came home to find me still in my pajamas at 8:00pm. She said that my eyes were glazed over. They were. I'm pretty sure there was also a body dent in my bed. It was bad.

I was kind of embarrassed of myself, so I decided to get up early today and accomplish some things. OK. I wasn't really planning on it, but my sister makes so much damn noise in the morning, it's impossible not to wake up. I thought about going back to sleep after breakfast but didn't want to feel like a waste of life.

I went to the library and picked up the copy of The Host that's been waiting on hold for me. When I came home, I made granola and fish for my sister to have when she got back from classes.

Ugh classes...I contemplated walking to campus and sneaking into a few classes. I decided against it--mostly because it's hot outside, and I really don't really care for sweating.

I spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning up my balcony container garden, secretly dumping the weeds/dirt in different areas of my apartment complex and hosing off the deck. I had to stop and sprint inside, because I spotted the downstairs neighbors making the angry face at me. While my old neighbors didn't mind the muddy slip and slide that made its way down to the first floor, I think these people might.

I should probably give you fair warning that this blog will most likely feature tales of my jobless tinkering until I start substitute teaching.
