Can I Schedule my Way Out of a Rut?

I'm in a little bit of a rut. And while I'm not enjoying said rut, I'm thankful for some quiet time before the storm that begins next week.

I'm in my last week of being unemployed and I've reached a boredom threshold I didn't expect. An impasse, if you will. That is, I've done all the planning I can do with the facts that are available. There are more things in the air than I can possibly juggle and yet for some reason my mind just won't set them down. They are future things, things on which other things hinge, but being future things, there's little I could do with the information but write it down somewhere until its time comes. I seem to think that having them written down would assuage my anxiety about them but I know from experience that it isn't so. I have lots of things written down in my planner but they're future things that have no immediate relevance to whatever it is I'm doing now. Which is not much. Until Friday. Friday I'm going to go rescue some guinea pigs from a high-kill shelter and deliver them to a foster home up north. Priorities, people.

But for right now I'm just enjoying the quiet, watching the birds, watching a little tv, staying hydrated, looking forward to the mail arriving each day. I'm a little old lady and a big-rig widow.

Taking a cue from my friend Cate at Show My Face, I decided to institute a posting schedule. Thing is, the specifics are up in the air (see the trend?!) until I learn my schedule at work. Could be that I have Wednesdays and Sundays off. Or Tuesdays and Sundays (at any rate, I'll be doing my darnedest to make sure I get Sundays off). I'll be posting here on my days off and Saturdays, and probably over at my other blog two days a week at random.

We'll see.
