I’d like to say I did something special today, but I didn’t.

Since I don’t get the day off, Jess and I sat around and both did work.

I meant to write yesterday, but never got around to it…  Could be the desire to be as far away from my couch and computers as possible when I’m not working…  Unfortunately, that’s where all our entertainment is.

Yesterday was kind of nice, though.  We went up to Pizza Marzzano for dinner with a bunch of the other teachers, then over to Sadyba for a movie.  We saw Burn After Reading, which was fairly comical, though very fragmented and overly graphic (aka too realistic) for the violent scenes. 

Either way, I had a good time.  Pretty much any time I can get out of the house and hang out with people is a good time.

I should probably go out and take out the recycling…  That’ll get me off the couch for a few minutes anyways.

Jess is out doing crafts with a few of the other teachers, which is cool.  I’m glad she’s making some friends and having time to hang out with them.

Unfortunately, I’m finding it difficult to keep from constantly slipping back into melancholy.  I like what I do for a living – websites and all.  And I like the flexibility of it.  But I miss human interaction so much…  And I’m not really making the kind of websites I’d really like to, so I feel a bit limited…  but that’s the difference between a job and a hobby I guess…  Doing what you need to versus what you want to.

So this is my substitute…  Talking to myself in public.  Whether it’s here, or Polish lessons on my bike.  But it is a good motivator to finally do some more writing… unfortunately I’m rarely in the writing mood these days.  I just have an irresistable urge to get my ass off the couch, but as soon as I get up, I go right back because there’s nothing else to do but go on the computer or read a book.  And right now all the books I have are about the holocaust, which doesn’t really raise the happiness meter. 

Anyways, I think I’m gonna put a cap on this mope-fest and go take out the trash…  Fresh air will do me some good.  Course, that means I have to change out of my pajamas…
