I’ve spent the day putting reviews up on Yelp. It’s really helped to pass the time.
Lately I feel like all I have is time. No real stories to tell. Just time. I watch it pass. I mean, I’m at work? What else can I do? The hyper student in me would shout HOMEWORK! but I have no desire for that at the moment.
I just wish I could bundle up the hours I spend surfing the net and then use them towards something else. I’m getting paid to sit and watch the clock go by, but it still is vaguely irritating. I’m getting older by the minute! Come on!
I made a call to a local nursery and talked to one of the ladies and she was telling me about a bunch of neat shrubs that would fit what I’m looking for. She suggested that I come visit in about two weeks so that any other freak frosts will have passed and there will be better selection to look at and decide from. I thanked her for being so free with information, I love people like that, and helpful.
Lowes, you have been permanently passed over in the Growing advice department. Never again shall I grace that section of your store (oh, who am I kidding?). But I will flitter through all the rest because I love Lowes anyway. Oh, except I will be checking out hammocks because I want one and that is in the same general vicinity.
I can spend hours in that store, hand on hip, wandering through the aisles and daydreaming about home improvements. I really could. Andy and I have been known to go in for something and come out four hours later without what we came in for just because we never made it to that section of the store and Jas had some sort of bowel/fashion emergency.
That also happens at craft stores. We get lost in our future attempts at different projects. Floating along with our ideas pulling us forward like a kite. Kindred spirits in that respect.
Any sort of project is ON THE BRAIN for about a month. Then it is promptly forgotten because there is some other NEW SHINY PROJECT that distracts us. After about three to six months, we tend to rotate back to the original project.
This is clearly evident by the language project I set up, my Bella. Every few months or so I’ll go on a binge of learning and practicing, getting myself all amped up learning and relearning things. Then I’ll have to return a great book to the library and before I know it, the excitement for the idea has faded down and something else is on the horizon.
Anyway. I’m not sure what my current project is. Probably listlessness. I’ve also been reading a bit more than usual, books that is, but otherwise I haven’t noticed a new trend. My camera has sat since the broken lens, the violin is sitting in my office still next to my flute and oboe (I think they’re having an abandoned instruments party), the seedlings for very obvious reasons are lying dead on themselves if they haven’t already been torn from their pods by toddler or impish cat, I haven’t experimented in the kitchen with a new dessert recently… meh.
Although I am thinking very hard about making another chocolate chip cookie cake because that sounds divine. Depends on if I have the supplies and urge to do so.
I say, let’s blame all this lethargy on the rain.
Also: this is the perfect kind of day for a LOTR movie marathon. Cookie cake and a movie, yes? Um, yes. Most def.
