I haven't been posting lately because nothing fun has been happening. This is because I work on contracts, and I have been waiting for my next contract to be ready since mid-October. This means that I have been on forced staycation for a month and a half.
Pros: I know I am getting another contract, so I don't have the same fears as someone who is unemployed.
Cons: I refuse to go anywhere or do anything fun because most of that costs money, and since I am not currently getting a paycheck, I am trying to live as frugally as possible.
Now, many of us wish for a month-long vacation from work. I know I will again when I'm back. However, it has a way of making one feel guilty, lazy, and eventually, bored.
As proof, I submit this list of things I have done since I've been home:
1. Slept til noon more often than I care to admit.
2. Deep-cleaned the entire apartment (I cleaned the walls. I did that.)
3. Told my cats multiple times that they are my best friends.
4. Caved and read Fifty Shades of Grey. Then bought the rest of the trilogy.
5. Painted my fingernails (I hate wearing nail polish on my fingernails.)
6. Forced myself to get out of the apartment once a day to at least go to the gym.
7. Scrapbooked.
8. Checked e-mail and Facebook obsessively.
9. Gotten my Christmas shopping done way early.
10. Taken many many photos of my cats. See below.
And that is a current summation of my life.
