Mmmm bored
Went for a nice bike ride. Didn't realize how hilly Pickering is. Now, they aren't big but when you're on a bike any incline matters.
I wish there were good trails for bikes close. Apparently there are awesome ones at the waterfront and while it's still Pickering...it's far to bike only to transport myself there. Since really I have all the time in the world here, I'm thinking of one Saturday asking my mom to drop me off and pick me up later.
I wish I had friends here. Not in the "I'm so lonely" way but "I'M SO BORED AND MY MIND WILL MELT" sort of way. I'm applying for a job I believe... But I can't until I get a confirmation from my last reference that I can use her. -_- Plus she was supposed to call me this weekend. She's an old teacher of mine who is a senior graphic designer (the big one!) and she took an interest in me. She seemed impressed with my work. I mean she has to be if she wants to hire me to help her with some of her clients. I believe I'll just be coding the sites, and not designing them, bit I don't mind. Official, smancy clients with good pay. :D Can't complain. I hope it does come through.
In the meantime I am addicted to a game on Facebook called Restaurant City. Yes, I never thought I'd see the day where I'd play a game on Facebook... o.O But I also never thought I'd see a day where literally I'd have so little to do with my life. Right now, I'm really just trying to find my purpose here as I wait out the days until I can visit my home! Yay!
If I do get a job, I hope I make good hours and pay to fly out to BC to visit Carey and Leann. Who knows. Right now I'm drooling at any prospect to fill up my time.
This morning, I did do something constructive. In fact I have been constructive. Even with 3 kids to help babysit during the week...it's nust how much free time I have. And it's not like I have money to go out.
Anyway, this morning I finally helped my mom finish the edging in the backyard. Took 3 half days. It was hard work, but something that felt all too familiar since I spent the spring in PA doing stuff like that to get the house ready to sell. XD
Anyway, if any of you have any idea how to fill my time up, let me know. I'm thinking of maybe volunteering somewhere. I just don't know how to throw myself in something like that. I would like it to be biking or walking distance... Hmm anyone have experience with that sort of thing?
Well I am visiting a church tomorrow. Maybe they will have opportunities. I did go to a different church last weekend, but it didn't feel quite right. It was fine and all. Maybe because it was a Nazarene church and my home church is Nazarene, and is an excellent church on so many levels... So of course it would be difficult for it to live up to mine.
But the church I'm going to tomorrow is a charismatic church. Have never attended a Sunday service of such a church. But I'm trying to take my time here as an opportunity to grow in independence and specifically get used to change and new things. So here I am trying it out.
Well Monday is Labor Day. Mothar offered to do something since we are kid free. To use up the day (heh) I think I will take her up on it. Maybe the Toronto Zoo though I'm sure it'll be packed with kids. But I do have my lovely zoom lens and it would be fun just for the photography. Maybe the Bowmanville Zoo too. I've never been there...
Anyway rambling rambling rambling...
If anyone wants to hop on over to Toronto to go out to a movie with me, it'd be much appreciated. I'll pay your ticket - movie ticket that is. I can't wait until Where the Wild Things Are, and 9, and next year's movies Chronicles of Narnia (sucks they moved it from this Christmas to 2010) and Alice in Wonderland. Where the Wild Things Are comes out on Chandra's birthday. Maybe we can go then. :D
