I am finishing my third week of not working and find myself 1/3 of the way through mu summer of no work. I have some observations...
1. Not working is not as great as you might initially guess. The morning starts off slow and by the time the afternoon rolls through its kinda sleepy. Then the evening is here and you feel kind of depressed because you feel like a slug for wasting a day. You stay up late because you took a nap and watch mindless late-night TV until you fall asleep...rinse and repeat...
2. The girls and I have come up with a system to combat the summer sluggishness. Every afternoon we spend an hour or so cleaning the house and then we make dinner together and watch a movie together (Thank God for Netflix!). This system has kept Momma happy and gets us up and moving. Plus cooking every night keeps the fast food blahs away...
3. I am wrapping up my Masters with 3 online courses which are kicking my butt. I have been going to school since June 2004 when I enrolled at UOP with 0 college credits. I am so tired of college that I am having trouble staying motivated. The courses are not incredibly taxing but motivating myself is so hard to do...
4. Not working is expensive! First of all...snack time requires some serious stockpiles when there are 4 of us hitting the pantry. Second...after you spend a few days in the A/C environment of the house you want to get out to...another A/C environment (Its Yuma after all...its supposed to be 110 tomorrow!). This usually involves the ladies dragging me to a store to "look"...girl code for spending money on crap we don't need...
I could go on but I think you get the idea...
