wombat's tags:
Have coffee on your deck and watch people you know going to work.
 
Ignore house cleaning that could be done.
 
Take a long shower, do your hair, nails, and spot check all those things you usually don't take notice of.....tiny hair on your chin?
 
Go mail your short story from the post office--priority mail please!
 
Browse the library--check out a book or two---one a huge art book by Maxfield Parrish.
 
Grab some lunch to go---and then go to the park (the park where quietone and I met)  and chow down while reading a thriller titled Deadly Exposure by Leonard Goldberg.
 
Gaze at the trees, sky and sun.  (find a waded up dirty old blanket on an embankment, get a stick and prod at it just to make sure it's empty.)
 
Go home and  enjoy the shade with books, pencils, charcoal, sketch pad, sharpener, small ruler.....
 
Read awhile, sketch for four hours on a mountain scene with a pond and a millhouse...
 
Sit back up on deck and admire work while sipping a brew.
 
Log onto SC, turn up the music and write a blog about things to do while unemployed.
 
Sorry, MissMimi----I don't think I belched once!  Not yet, anyway....If I do, I will give it a score of 1 to 10 and let you know how I did.
 
Might as well have a  fun day  while I can....(.I may end up with a job.  Or I may end up without one for several months.)
 
But I didn't waste this one!
 
What can I do/not do tomorrow?

    secretlife:  It was a nice day.....and I am not sure if I hope I get a job, or more days like this before I do!
  • wombat said on Jul 15, 2008....
    (and I forgot to add that I signed onto yahoo games and played Deal Or No Deal for awhile....ha.....I liked it, but you have to answer questions to stay in the game, and some of them are hard!  Will have my coffee in the a.m. while playing with choosing cases and testing my knowledge....ha.....)
  • Lucytorial said on Jul 15, 2008....
    Hay! we get that game here on TV.... way cool, I've been off work Wombie for almost a week now and god I've watched that show at 5pm every day...... what else do I do?? make crosswords, write letters, sit here and chat, wash and dry my hair, move bedrooms around of which I'm still in the process... damn time off is great! for a little while anyway.
  • quietone said on Jul 15, 2008....
    Yes, a few days off to loaf around will be nice, and then it will be back to work!!!  Sounds like you had a very full day wombie!  :)  IT sure was nice out today!  Keep on drawing and writing.
  • wombat said on Jul 15, 2008....
    Lucy:  I used to love that show!  I even planned to tell the cop if I got stopped for speeding, that I was trying to get home for DOND!  Ha...
     
    Not now.  I was just bored, and played a few games on yahoo....
     
    I will have to be creative to get through the days now.  Maybe I should move my bedroom around.....ha.
     
    quietone:  I like being idle, if I can ignore the guilt!  I intend to fill my sketch book, maybe get out those oils and watercolors....may not be great, but it is fun.  At the end of the day, you have a result to look at.
  • woman said on Jul 15, 2008....
    What a beautiful day for you. Did you perhaps see a nice sugar daddy in the park that might be willing to support this lifestyle?? Just a thought......
  • wombat said on Jul 15, 2008....
    woman: No.....ha.  I am married.  And my hubby is a sugar.  But not my daddy.  It was a beautiful day, though!
     
    MissMimi:  I belched a good 3.4 on the way in from smoking......
  • Lucytorial said on Jul 15, 2008....
    Ohh dear Wombie.... I did one last that made my husband jump! I've got a little indigestion lately... makes for good vibrations Mwa ha ha haa
  • wombat said on Jul 15, 2008....
    Lucy: Those ones that let out a lot of air are great.....like letting the air out of a truck tire slowly.....

  • Zaraida said on Jul 16, 2008....
    Wow!  You sure are having a lot of fun!  I'm always complaining about being bored, so I will have to try to try out some of those activities when I can't find anything to do for kicks.
  • RollingC said on Jul 16, 2008....
    Marking for later....  :^)  Rc
  • RollingC said on Jul 16, 2008....
    You know....come to think about it for the last couple of years I've come to treat the in-between jobs time as vacation time.
    No sense in getting uptight (unless you go too long without a job) and treat yourself to some time off before putting your nose back to the grindstone.

  • wombat said on Jul 20, 2008....

    destinydiva:  Well--some of it is nice.....ha.

    MM&I:  No chance of that..getting spoiled.  But I will try to remember to smell the roses!

    Z:  Just trying to fill the hours.....which I need to do more of in a better way.  (cleaning, exercising....ugh....)

    RollingC:  Well, I am on a long vacation, then!  Love that notion!  I will do what I have to do, and enjoy the free time!

    Thanks again, all......late in looking here.

(Separate tags using commas, for example: New York, dating, vegetarian)

Today I spent a couple of time out hours in my favorite place around here, the local park. For a change, I drove up "to the top" as they call it locally. I usually just park near the entrance and stay close, like I am prone to doing.

I guess you all know (and are tired of my whining about jobs) that I lost mine recently. I first signed up for unemployment, but later retracted that. I wasn't going to draw very much as it goes back in quarters of the year, and I had only been workin...
I have been working on my writing lately, and have been rather proud of what I have accomplished so far.

I picked back up on something I have had saved on my computer and have been adding to it so I could send it in to the L. Ron Hubbard Writ...

Glass is sand

I came home so tired and hungry I was almost in tears...mostly just from stress. (first day of new job--no big deal to talk about really--just learning more stuff and trying to retain it)

I thought I would grab a peanut butter sandwich and f...
