it is getting increasingly difficult to find reasons to get up in the morning. my typical day is sleeping in, going to the reservoir, applying for a job (and i use the term "a" loosely), surfing the internet, cleaning my house, eating a little something, going back to bed, having a drink, playing with the girls, and attempting one real life meaningful conversation face-to-face. sometimes i read, sometimes i work in the yard, sometimes i watch tv, sometimes i cook for tres or my neighbors. all in all it's just BORING and i'm going CRAZY with every passing day.
i have to hand it to my mom and lisa and tres, and some old co-workers from ann taylor. without their encouragement i don't think i'd be showering every day or trying to maintain contact with the outside world. unless i'm going to work at michaels, or driving down to golden or broomfield to see lisa or tres, i don't really leave the confines of my neighborhood except to go to safeway or the library. the upside is that i've only filled up my gas tank once in the past two weeks.
i have 48 more weeks of unemployment. i'm afraid if i'm out of the workforce too long, i'll lose my edge or never go back altogether. god i really don't want to go back to retail, i just want a job where i can sit at a desk and get bossed around all day doing trivial things but get to keep a picture of ali in a nice frame next to my computer. is that so much to ask??!!
i'm going to go see a movie this afternoon. i've decided. i'm going by myself and i'm going to have a GOOD time.
ciao for now,
