What to do?
When I don't work, I don't know what to do with myself at home. The house is clean, there aren't any dishes to do, all the laundry is done. We aren't going to be here for supper tonight so I don't even have to look up recipes. I made cookies yesterday. Watching TV and reading is actually getting old, which sounds blasphemous but is still true. I have the Olympics to keep me entertained, but in the morning, nothing is going on over there (due to the three hour time difference).
I wish I had a hobby because I know that, one day, I'm going to be so busy that I wish I had time to myself, and now that I have time to myself, I don't know what to do with it! This is probably the last year I spend like this: with no job. I may get years off in the future, but it will be due to childbirth and will therefore certainly not have any "time off".
I'm looking forward to the end of this week. Calvin is going for an interview/exam in Toronto and we are leaving on Thursday morning (his test is on Friday morning). We're staying in a nice hotel, going out for a nice meal, maybe going to Ikea or other shopping venues. It will be nice to get away and do something different. It isn't going to be "as fun" for Calvin, since for him, this trip is business more than pleasure. For me, it's pure pleasure. I don't have to worry about phone calls for two days, I get to go on a little vacation, shop, stay in a nice hotel. I'm trying to keep him un-stressed, and tell him I will let him study in the hotel room while I go walk around or something, but I know he's still worried. It's a strange trip, to say the least, but I think we'll both enjoy it in the end.
