only three days left of unemployment.
crap.
omg. don't get me wrong. i'm so outlandishly thrilled to start my job. seriously. gimme that steady paycheck.
but secretly, i'm going to be sad about letting go of my daily routine of sloth. i.e.,
- -going to the gym at 8:30 am instead of 5:30 am.
- -staying up late and watching family guy because i don't have to go to the gym at 5:30 am.
- -not wearing makeup
- -watching daytime tv. (studio 5, ellen, oprah--all going on the dvr asap.)
- -mid-day cat naps.
- -reading every day at 2pm since there's nothing on tv but soaps.
- -actually making dinners. real dinners. dinners not involving mac n' cheese or going to subway.
- -crafting, crafting, crafting at all hours of the day. every day. making things like this:
it's a chalkboard plate. you write the menu on it. or sassy messages about doing the dishes. whatever you want. and now that i have the chalkboard paint, i want to paint everything into a chalkboard. including my walls. or something like this:
amazing. thank you, marci, for showing me this masterpiece.
anyway, i look to thursday with a bit of bittersweet excitement. yes, the last 4 months have been awful, but they've also had their perks. hopefully i can still make craft time happen. (thursday nights, emily?) and hopefully i can keep up my insatiable reading appetite. and yikes--hopefully i can still make TTMG fridays happen.
whatever happens, at least i have a job with a paycheck. and after 4 months without one, i'm bound and determined to never take that for granted ever again. whether that means i have to give up craft time or not. werd.
