Jordy started his new shift rotation that has mostly 10 hour (10-8) shifts at work. The plus side is that he gets paid more and has 3 days off a week (although with the exception of Sunday, which he always has off, those other 2 days off vary depending on the week). This means that sometimes, ex. August long weekend, he will have 5 days off in a row! So I'm prepared to put up with eating a few dinners by myself. Learning how to cook for one again - I'm not so good at. (Any helpful meal ideas or tips?)
ALSO - I don't know what to do with my free time now! Jordy and I are one of those couples that does everything together, we are attached at the hip. That means that for the last almost 3 years, I haven't had to entertain myself, and I find that since Jordy started his new shift rotation, I've read a lot of books, worked out more (although not as much as I should be for all this free time I have) and been overall lazy.
MY EXCUSE? Recently - I'm putting everything off until we move into our new house. I know, my excuse isn't a very good one for most things. However, as we've been packing as much up as we can, I'm pretty sure Jordy packed up my at home workout dvds, most of the video games, and we have a ton of boxes all over our house which makes working out very difficult (and if not difficult then we'll say inconvenient). Half of our kitchen is in boxes already which leaves us a hand full of plates, bowls, glasses and utensils which definitely puts a damper on actually cooking anything. So my motivation to do anything productive is at an all time low, and my excuse seems to be working well enough. On the plus side I did finally put the time into cleaning up our yard, and I could probably get a good workout mowing the grass since we have a motor-less rotating blade push type lawn mower.
Did I tell you I had nothing really news worthy to report...?
I am at the point where I just want to be moved into our new house! I've got tons of decorating ideas (minus the money to do it however) and can't wait to get all our furniture in the new house. We bought a new couch, love seat and chair set on sale for the upstairs living room which we pick up on May 30, and a steal of a deal washer and dryer set that we splurged our income tax return on... I am sooo looking forward to May 30!
I can't wait for the weather here to get nice and hot. We've been lucky with +15-20 degree weather, but the wind is still cold, and makes being outside not so fun. How long have we been waiting for summer now... more than a year with the weather last summer... yikes! Its about time we got some hot weather!
As I am now feeling like I've just been rambling on for a good 5-10 minutes, I will graciously end this post and hope that I can either get lost in a book, or do something productive to prevent another random, useless post this evening.
At least when I eventually have kids I can put a cute picture of them up and hope it would make for a less random post, but alas, no kids yet (and no this is not an announcement), and thus a dull blog post... haha.
Till next time,
Cassandra
