I Need Some Time Off

I think that most people, busy with life, have wished that they had more free time. I've found myself in the situation that with a job, school, married life, and trying to have a social life, I find myself without enough free time. When I used to landscape, we would be laid-off in the Winter, only working if there was a snowstorm for which we spent the day doing snow removal. I remember thinking fairly recently that I wished I was laid-off, then I'd have more time to do stuff.

Then I lost my job.

This, of course, happened right around the end of the semester.

Suddenly I had nothing but free time. At first it seemed pretty cool. Then, after a day or two, it started to get boring. I found that the things I like to do, like play video games, are more fun when you only have a little bit of time to enjoy them. When you have time to play, you find yourself playing until you get sick of the game. This might change if I was better, but I kind of suck at most video games.

Not having a job means I'm not bringing money into the household. Which means if I need anything that costs money I feel too guilty to spend the money I didn't make. Which means less groceries. I like cooking, and working as a cook generally means you can eat what you want at work. Suddenly, not only am I not eating the stuff at work, but I also don't have the resources to make good food at home.

I am so sick of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Although we just ran out of jelly so that's just going to get worse.

Man, I need to go to work.
