People keep asking me if I'm getting excited about starting my new job. I think I will be excited about it next Sunday, the night before my first day. Right now I'm just having too much fun with the present to spend much time thinking about the future.
Yesterday I went out for lunch with my old team and Michael. I picked Dessert Sinsations Cafe for the location. Why? Because they have cake. I could not leave Good-Wooden Leg without cake.
"This is a little more Jill-centric than the after work drinks," Michael said to me as we sized up the selection of cakes, tortes and cheesecakes in the dessert case.
"Most definitely," I said. It was perfect.
I have a homework assignment to do for my creative writing class. It was cold and snowy out today and I had the day off--perfect conditions for getting an assignment done, right? What is it about homework that makes everything else seem 10 times more interesting? Instead of doing homework I did laundry. I cleaned out my closet and hung up clothes. I went through the recycling and sorted my mail. I washed dishes and I went to Costco with my mom. When I finally sat down to do the writing exercise I got through the first two sections and then fell asleep on the couch. How inspiring, my own words lulled me into unconsciousness.
All assignments are due at 6 pm on Sundays. I told myself I was not allowed to blog until I finished my homework. I used to procrastinate on blogging. Now I am procrastinating with blogging. What am I going to do next? Head to the library to pick up War and Peace? Good Lord, what have I signed myself up for? I used to like this writing thing.
