I spent several hours sitting in my chair today, my first day off since starting back on last Tuesday. Since moving to Fort Smith, I've spent at least two hours a day sitting in my chair, but for the past week, I've barely had any spare time to just sit. From here, I applied for jobs, watched far too many hours of television via Hulu, listened to podcasts-basically spent entirely too much time online with nothing to show for it.
This was (and technically still is) Shelly's chair, and her various cats had already given it a delightfully shredded look, a tradition that our kitten Loki continues with great enthusiasm.
As per my usual routine, I visited a few of my favorite sites, caught up on a few shows via Hulu, and even checked the classifieds. There were a total of NINE jobs listed on the Times Record's online employment want ads. I guess I got snatched up at just the right time.
Shelly and I made a trip to the Cracker Barrel in Alma, followed by a stop at the Target on Phoenix. A stop in their book section made me realize that the first step in getting a book franchise up and running is not skimping on the cover art. I really don't think I'd like most things Rick Riordan has written, but they do look neat...
Today seemed to last a great deal longer than when I was unemployed. Work days don't fly by, but neither do they crawl. They are long and suitably fast paced. I expected today to pass rather quickly, but Shelly and I drove two towns over, ate breakfast, walked around Target for an hour, and I still had time to sit around and enjoy doing almost nothing for about three hours.
I even made split pea soup from scratch after that, and still had time to sit in my chair while I write this post (though I don't think the soup agreed with my, and I fear I may have to vacate this throne for one even less glorious).
