My NOTHING Day
It's only 10:50am and I already know it is impossible for me to have an absolute nothing day.
Trust me, I tried! Like you see on TV, I stayed in my PJs even as I bid my sister farewell in the public lobby of her apartment. She is working overtime today and I won't see her until late tonight. I even canceled a lunch date with my friend just so there is NOTHING in my schedule. I ride the elevator back up and I smile as I see my reflection. I am wearing my pajamas backwards, my bright pink socks is peeking out of my snow boots, all of my lovely short hair is poofed up like crazy and I am wearing my eye mask as a head band. Yup, this is what a bum looks like.
I know it is odd but I really want to feel what it is like to bum around all day.
I go back to bed, do my prayer time there, go on facebook, and then I start watching youtube videos. I started with typing down Susan Boyd's 'How Great Are Thou' because I am amazed by her singing voice. After I just kept clicking on links like Carrie Underwood's 'Jesus Take the Wheel' and then Standuptocancer.org where Beyonce, Mariah, Miley, Fergey and all the others were singing for the cause. After more clicks to links it all just led to celebrity gossip which gave me a headache. I must be hungry so I look at the fridge and I see an opportunity to be even more bum like. I eat cereal and almost soiled milk (expires today!) with my feet up on the balcony and then I drink straight from the orange juice carton (Sorry Ate Lil!). I go back to bed and pull the covers over my head and start to wonder why it is SO cold still. I daydream and space out while I try to gather some warmth but it doesn't work. What next?
That's it, my bumhood ended in less than 3 hours. I got up cuz moving will warm me up, made the bed, washed the dishes, packed up for my camping trip this weekend and I started to separate laundry until I stopped in my tracks to ask myself, I am so free today, what do I want to do this minute?
My answer: to write.
And so here is a new blog on the first day of my Washington DC life. If I feel like it later, I'll write about Seattle and Canada which is another boatload of stories that someday I hope will fit perfectly in the plots and details of my future novel.
For now...I feel like...finishing my laundry.
