Wednesday

It's Wednesday morning, just had my oatmeal and am drinking my coffee. I didn't manage to find any trouble to get into yesterday. Darn it! It was hot yesterday and it just zapped any ambition that I had. I try not to use the a/c much, don't ask me why but I broke down and turned it on last night. Maybe because I know how much electric bills are around here....it certainly makes up for the lower cost of living. It really doesn't make sense that electricity costs so much here, we have a huge power plant not far from here and we also have freaking Niagara Falls down the road. Go figure.

I did get my lazy butt moving around 7:30 and ran to Walmart, picked up a cd for my friend Darcy to make up for all the cds that she's letting me borrow to put on my iPod. I also bought myself the Law & Order: Trial By Jury DVD set. It only lasted one season but I liked it and only saw a couple episodes. I am a Law & Order junkie and am going through withdrawls because my very, very basic cable package that I have does not include USA or TNT which one of the two channels always seems to have a Law & Order episode on. I may have to increase my cable once I get into my own place.

I stopped by Darcy's after that to drop off her new cd, hung out with her & Fred for a bit and then we ran out to RJ's for some ice cream. A great treat for a hot day. I brought back another bunch of cds to download.

I don't know what to do with myself today. I need to go to the grocery store, the post office and that's about it. I have to admit that as much as I enjoy not working that it does get a bit boring. It'd be different if I was in my own place and could get settled in or had more money to do stuff. I'm looking forward to starting training at geico on the 25th, that'll give me some structure to my life, I can get more of a routine going and start looking for my own place. I can't wait to buy a couch. I really miss having a couch. I also look forward to having a queen size bed again. I'm grateful for what my family has let me use but the twin bed has been a challenge, especially with two cats that like to sleep with me.

I'm also looking forward to meeting new people at geico. That's kind of exciting. It's so funny because for 15 years I've been married and had the "I'm married" mindset, so if I saw a nice looking guy I'd think "he's nice looking" and that's it. But now I am looking at men differently, wondering if they're single, what it'd be like to date them, etc. I've been having fun thinking about dating, it's scary but exciting at the same time. There is a place on Transit Rd with batting cages and I would love going there on a date with someone. I'm not a big sports person but I don't know what it is, I've always wanted to go to batting cages.

I'm looking forward to using the fitness center at geico too, that'll come in very handy in the winter when you don't want to go outside at all around here. I can work my shift, bring my gym clothes and work out afterwards. I figure that'll be a good stress reducer too.

Well I think I'm going to take a shower and get started on my exciting day. :)
