Screw you, convention!
So my dad keeps saying things like "get a real job" and "work more hours" and "make more money". I get what he means. He's old fashioned: he thinks the only way to wealth is to work hard at a high paying job. He thinks that working less than 40 hours a week is lazy. His attitude has rubbed off on me. I admit, as any good daughter, I want my dad to love me, even if I actively disagree with him. Conundrum!
But I'm feeling the Spring! It is time for changes! I've been feeling depressed by my job at the Hut. I mean, I'm a fucking college graduate who works for minimum wage at Pizza Hut. But it pays my bills. I like working at the Academic Institute, though I could do without the drive, and they only need me once a week anyway. What do I do with the rest of my time? Church stuff, I guess, and mostly wishing I had other work, and being kinda bored.
Well, I'm putting a new order into effect immediately!
Beginning today, I will work on my writing three or four days a week. I think tianas_knife will join me in one of the projects which is exciting me right now. At the moment, it's working for free, but it is absolutely building towards something important in the future. I find it hard to do this kind of work, because it doesn't have immediate benefits. But with the two of us on the job, we'll finish it in no time. I need to make a "professional" page, which focuses on my Pagan-y stuff and professional writing. I've seen some great blogs that do just that. Does anyone out there know how to get started or where to go?
In addition to the new writing career, I'm revitalizing my exercise routine. Spraining my ankle definately put a damper on going for a run. But I realized what was holding me back was not having a decent enough pair of shoes to go running in comfort. So I bought some! When my ankle is better (I think next week will be healed enough) I'm going walking/running five or six days a week. I want to lose the weight (35lbs!) and get in the military and start my career there. Or at least have them start paying for school.
New Schedule:
Monday: Run, Writing, Hut
Tuesday: Run, Writing, Hut
Wednesday: Academic Institute (seminary during down time), Hut
Thursday: Run, Writing, Seminary
Friday: Run, Writing, Household chores
Saturday: Run, Fun, Church or Fun
Sunday: Run or day off
No more screwing around. I'm tired of my clothes not fitting, of not liking how I look, of not feeling professional. I'm going to cut my hair (ok, style it. I still want it long!), get chickens, and generally start manifesting the life that I want to have. I say, if you aren't happy: DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! So I'm grabbibng it by the taint! I'm doing stuff!
Look out world!
