HOW TO BE LAZY

THOOSH! The sunlight breaks through my window and into my eyes, every morning at the same time.  The blinding rays break through the thin walls of skin protecting my eyes, revealing to me that it is once again time to wake up.  However, being my first, real, day off of work since starting here (Not counting weekends, days without kids, days I took off or anything, an actual day given off) I happily put my pillow over my head and journey back into the land of the dinosaurs to continue killing off all the Tyrannosaurus Rex before they can attack my hand-built potters wheel.  Call me random I don't care, at least I have a good imagination.  

Finally, God tells my body it has enough rest, and I spring out of bed.  Well, spring might be too excited of a word.  I roll out of bed and onto my feet to great another morning (midmorning).  As I fell asleep watching a movie, I decide to finish it before doing anything else.  The couch is comforting as I lay down in it, still in my pajamas wondering how my room mates are doing at work.  Half of us worked today, but Julie, Megan and I were all blessed with a day off.  

Ok, enough of trying to spice up my life.  Today was most likely one of the most boring days I have had since coming.  There is nothing to do when everyone is at work.  I had flirted with the idea of the beach, but I had just enough stuff here to do that kept me at home all day.  Laundry was piled so high in the designated "laundry corner" of my room that I got out the step stool to reach the top.  Underwear has been turned inside out and used again, just out of shear laziness.  I became good friends with the garage today, as I spent the most time I ever have out there switching clothes from washer to drier, then out and starting new loads.  In the meantime, while the machines were doing my work for me, I was inside watching all sorts of movies.  One in particular, that I tried to watch the entire thing, yet, still haven't finished.  Veggietales: Jonah.  It really is a good movie, just in the form of teaching children, yet, I could not keep my eyes open.  The 1 hour 30 minute movie has taken me over 10 hours and I'm still not done.  I would watch about 5 minutes then be back in the land of the dinosaurs for an hour, fighting and protecting my property from various oversized lizards.  

While today really seemed like a waste, as I encountered no one basically other than my room mates (well JJ and I did take a trip to a friends house who has a kiln which we are using to fire some bowls I made for a DOOR fundraiser, but not counting them) it really was good to relax and get away from the stresses of work.  And what better day to have off than Wednesday.  It is the worst day of the week, as it is directly in the middle.  Stupid hump day.  Hopefully the rest will prove to be useful in the coming two days.  Only a week and four days separate me from Thanksgiving break and seeing friends in the Chicago area for a wedding.  It is going to be great!
