I may have to retitle this blog 'Diary of the Unemployed'.
Day 1:
Sent sprog off to school and sat on couch drinking Tim's and watched Hell Boy. It was okay. I give it 2 stars out of 5.
So then I showered and cleaned up and after lunch went to pick up Oochie's ashes from the vet. After a brief cry and a few pokes at the ziplock bag they had her in I went to the local 'spiritual' shop (aka witch store) to see if I could find a proper receptacle to keep her in. I didn't find anything today, but I did narrow it down to something Egyptian seeing as they worshipped cats and believed them to be escorts to the Underworld. I'm sure Miss Ooch would find that a most suitable resting place.
After leaving the witch shop with a few goodies I went to a drug store to poke around then did something so vile, so shocking my daughter would disown me if she found out. I went to KFC. *gasp!* Ever since she joined PETA we haven't been allowed to eat KFC. It's been well over a year, almost 2 years I think since I've had it. I enjoyed every succulent morsel and dispersed of all the damning evidence before she got home from school.
Day 2:
This was today, I think. I'm beginning to lose track of time already.
Today I didn't do so well. After sending Sprog off to school I sat/laid on the couch and flicked around vainly trying to find something suitable to watch. Daytime TV SUCKS. So I went to sleep for awhile and woke up sometime before lunch. Having no money to be deccadent I went for a walk and mopped the floor after lunch. Woo hoo. Hold me back. I'm a one woman party just waiting to explode. You better stand back.
Tommorrow sounds just as promising. I see a treadmill, some weights and possibly some cleaning on the agenda. Normally I wouldn't be so lazy, but I promised myself some downtime right after the work ended because I have been working my ass off without a half decent vacation in 18 months. This is long overdue. However it's only been two days and I'm already finding myself wandering restlessly around the house. Maybe if I had some money to go do things it wouldn't be so bad. Ahhh well. I'm trying to just go with the flow and do whatever comes to mind whether it's sleep or walk or mop the floor. This brief down time is all about me and I think I deserve it.
And on another note, two new (?) tv shows have got me hooked. Dead Like Me, which takes over the previous queen of Monday nites Queer As Folk, is absolutely fucking brilliant! That girl, whose name escapes me, there are just no words. " You, little dead girl, are gonna be a grim reaper..." She's droll and caustic... *sniff*... I feel like I know her personally. Fucking hilarious and thought provoking. I love it.
And "My Name is Earl"... ohmydog... LAUGH OUT LOUD hilarious. If you liked Raising Arizona, Fargo, movies of that ilk then you need to be watching My Name Is Earl. Don't ask me what night it's on cause I can't remember. I'm thinking Tuesday maybe. Do yourself a favour and find it and watch it cause it's definitely worth the 30 minutes.
I'm also kinda digging The Office but I have to wonder though... is it only funny to those of us who've worked in offices? Do say... folks that work in electronics at Walmart find it amusing too? The chick in the cosmetic department at Shoppers Drug mart, would she giggle? Maybe when I get a few extra bucks I'll order a pizza and ask the delivery guy what he thinks of it.

I'm with you on the restlessness. That happened to me too. By day 3 I was wandering around the house feeling displaced, like I should be somewhere but wasn't. I tried to convince myself with the 12 mth severance pkg I could kick back and relax, and I'm pretty sure if it had been summertime I would have taken myself up on that, but it was January and I started getting really shack wacky really fast. Plus the lure of having two incomes coming in at the same time was just too enticing.
That is definitely part of it- the weather. If this was summer I'd probably milk it to the last possible hour but other than getting out for a walk, there's nothing out there to do, and even more so since I have no money anyway, just like always. But come Monday I'm going to start on the big house clean up. I have to get this place ready to rent because it's certainly too big of a job to leave it to the last minute. And you watch... once I get things cleaned and fixed and painted I won't want to move. Ha!
