Being unemployed makes it seem like I get to sit at home working on all those things that I would never have the chance to do when I was spending 8 or 9 hours at work each day. It makes it seem like I would have 8 or 9 extra hours a day that would be mine. That's not so.
Today was a typical example:
Wake up at 6 and do the morning routine of breakfast and packing lunch and getting Myr off to school. Home without Myr by 7:30, but my mom called and said that she was going to be in town watching Emi (my cousin's 4-year-old daughter) because my Aunt Barb, who usually watches her, is teaching a class at the Middle School today. She wanted to know if she and Emi could stop over in the AM because Emi completely adores Sadie-pup. I said sure but only until around 9:30 or so, because I told Wil that I would go down to the gameshop with him and help them write some game reviews for the store to put in the paper.
We decided to go to McDonald's for breakfast, then she had a couple errands to do before dropping me off at the gameshop. It was alos decided that they would pick up Sadie-pup, taking her with them and bringing her back at 1:30 when my Aunt Barb was done with teaching. I stayed at the gameshop until 12 when Wil's shift was done and he had to head off to his real job. So around 12:30 I was home, made some lunch, cleaned the kitchen and went through the mail. My mom called at 1:15 and asked if I wanted to ride along when she dropped Barb and Emi back off at home because Barb had some things for me and Myr. I said "sure" and mentioned that I needed to stop at Walgreens for some stuff.
So now, at 2:45, I am back at home. I will have to pick Myr up from school in about an hour. We have an 4-H Ambassador meeting tonight at 6:30.
Tomorrow is about the same, with a trip down to Wausau with Wil, Thursday there is a job fair in Wausau (along with free coffee at Starbucks). Friday Myr is going to be in Madison for the state forensics, so Wil took the day off and we are heading down there to watch her. Good grief.
I swear to you when I was working I spent more time at home.
ETA: Myr called earlier than expected. Went to pick her up. Was asked if friend, S, could crash at house for an hour or so. I said sure. Then had to make supper as leftover would not feed extra person. Myr wondered if I had remembered to pick up all the scrap-booking stuff for her art project. I hadn't, so I ran out to my folks to pick it up. Yeah. My life.
