maybe I should be running
Today is boring. I hate to say that because my old high school french teacher always said "only boring people are bored". And I agree. I could be studying Nepali, playing the fiddle or the piano... but today, all I've done is the laundry. It's gray and rainy outside, and I've had a headache much of the day. I complain when I'm busy, and I complain when I'm not. The bottom line is, I don't much like being home alone. I feel like I did the year that I was living alone and working as a tech, without any friends or anything going on, really. I sat with my laptop and watched lots of gymnastics and Survivor episodes. I'm watching the 2009 Visa Championships right now, gymnastics being the only sport I actually enjoy watching coverage on.
I often wonder what I'm doing with my life. Days like this I feel like a waste of oxygen usage. But I know that I've got a huge trip coming up, and plans for Mexico this winter and a shorter trip abroad in May. In the meantime I work, and work drives me nuts. It's not that bad, but sometimes I wish I could just shove catheters in everyone's bladders and sedate them all. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of things, but hey, it's a good job with good benefits and pretty great co-workers. I'm making enough money to pay my own bills and save for my traveling obsession.
One of the only friends I still have from high school, and my cousin, got married yesterday. I am not a big fan of marriage, but weddings can be fun. Or should I say, wedding receptions when you go with your best friends! Great food, dancing, and conversation. Even nice weather, which has been a tall order this summer. Then the rest of the day hanging out with Erin and the neighbors. Hard to top, but if today had been sunnier I would've felt better.
