Day by Day

Sunset-July 15, 2010

Most people I know would dream of having the life I have---an indefinite number of days to do whatever I want. I seem to have a hard time with this, especially since I'm in a whole new province and don't have my set number of friends I can depend on close at hand.

Instead, I wake up every morning and try to figure out what I should do with my day and it seems like such a hard thing to do. Finding a job is frustrating--it's hard here, I can't imagine what it will be like when I return to Calgary and there are 1000's more people wanting the same job....

I have noticed that for me some days are worse than others. If I have a plan and I do what I hoped to do all is well, if I have a plan and something doesn't happen like it should I get disappointed, and when I don't have a plan at all (like today) I'm bored out of my tree.

This week, though, I did do some errands, and made brownies, and meatballs and marinara sauce and...went on walks...and looked for jobs...and slept....and watched movies...and tv...and searched the web for...stuff.

But I have come up with a new plan!!! I shall volunteer! The only problem with this is...they want to know what days I can work. Right now, they could actually put me to work every single day and I would be happy---but what if I get a job...?!?!

There are a few other things I have up my sleeve. I am planning to create a little gift for July 27th--my boyfriend and I have been dating for one year and I'm actually enjoying cooking (thank you Iron Chef America)-- (I want to be like Mario Batali ;) ) So...I am going to try and recreate some of my old time favorites from when I was a kid.

And lets hope sometime soon I get a job so I can do far less planning and wayyy more structured work for a mystery company that I know needs my genius skills!!!! hahahaha..

Oh, this picture and the one taken above were shot with my little point and shoot spur of the moment at about 9:15pm atwhat we call the K-word River...

A pretty sweet silhouette...
