Day 1 of 3

I booked this weekend off months ago when I had plans for a trip to Tofino. Plans fell apart long before I admitted it and now I'm left with a weekend off (prior to working 11 straight days up to Christmas).

I have no idea what to do.

Christmas shopping is done.
Friends have already gotten my homemade "holiday" cards.
I have minimal funds.
My apartment is in full Christmas mode.
By the end of the afternoon it will also be clean.
The weather outside is frightful.

Part of me feels incredibly lazy, but if I look at my life from Monday to New Years, I'm pretty booked up. Well, until New Years that is. I'll likely spend that night by myself watching Mr. Bean on tv with a bottle of wine (which I will only drink half of).

This is a really pointless post.

I'm trying to not be complainy but my undertones of loneliness are poking through. I'm anticipating my first FREE weekend in a YEAR to be spent alone. 64 hours of me time. I will drive myself insane. Don't get me wrong, I like being on my own. I've always travelled solo. I spend tons of time alone. I hate dealing with most people most of the time.

But that's why I keep myself busy.. projects like the cards or the volunteering or redoing web stuff. I have another project that I want to get underway but it requires a video camera and the assistance of friends who are not in Vancouver.

But I have nothing on tap this weekend to keep me from pulling out my hair out of boredom. Except an Oilers-Canucks game that I will likely watch alone.
At least sushi will keep me company.

Things you can do that cost little to nothing:
-Write me a letter :)
-Write a chapter. Of a book. That will one day be published.
-organize everything by colour
(closet, bookshelf, fridge contents...)
-cherrypeel.com for new music
-create new recipe to be tried on friends at later date
-re-write '12 days of Christmas' to make it more modern/personal
-Deadwood, watch all 3 seasons of Deadwood
