Busy for unemployed

I can't believe that I've been so busy while being unemployed. Some of it's been fun but dang.

The latest started on the 26th. A friend of mine asked me to go to a Brahms concert with her. She didn't have anyone else that might be interested. I jumped at the chance. I'm not a major fan of the symphony but I do like a good concert now and then. hehe
Gay and I met up at the State Fair Park and Ride since meeting downtown was not really much of an option due to all the construction. I figured getting there a bit early would be the best since the construction has changed many of the route that are available.

Monday the 27th was another fun busy day. Had a chiro appointment that didn't take too long. Kinda cool since it leaves me a few hours before my massage. Massage was going to be at a place that was recommended by a few folks. I haven't been in the Bayview area in ages. My friend mentioned a bistro that recently opened so I figured that a little snack or light lunch before the massage would be a good thing.

I scheduled a hot stone massage at Apple a Day but they do a consultation before they begin. After discussing my lower back issues and tight upper back muscles, he decides that a regular massage with some hot stones in the really tight areas would be best. After that massage, I so wanted to take a nap. It was really relaxing.

Drove home for a quick rest before my french class a bit later that evening. It wasn't too bad of a class. I hadn't been there in two weeks but not much had changed. They've moved along in the book but I didn't have too much trouble catching up for the night.

Tuesday I went to Jen's place o' work to help her out for a few hours. Was thinking about a movie a bit later that night but decided that I rather just go home and chill out.

Wednesdays seem to be the non computer day I have for the week. It's a bit funny that I have to "schedule" a day off. It's a great day or rather evening for TV viewing. Starts with Bones, moves to Lost and finishes with The Evidence.

Thursday was another day home but far from slow. On the computer most of the day chatting and posting. Finalizing plans for Friday. I knew I had to run some errands that day so I tried to make it a full day.

Friday I started on my run of errands when I got a vm for lunch. Met up with John and some of his co-workers for lunch at Perkins in Brookfield. Afterwards, I headed to Exclusive company to pick up some dvds I ordered. They are classic comedy/sci-fi flicks. Maybe some of you folks heard of them - Down Periscope and Army of Darkness. Got a few invites to go out this night but was kinda looking forward to staying home. Thanks for the invites out but I had work at home I should be doing - didn't do it but I should have.

Saturday was mostly spent reading some mags to make room for more that were coming in the next couple of days. I usually get a few new ones at the beginning and middle of a month. Late afternoon and early evening were spent with John and Lisa at the house. John had planned a pre-b-day celebration for Lisa. She is finally turning 25. Granted she's still the baby of the group but now she's at the quarter century mark.

The party was fun and Lisa did get a bit "Tipsy" or was that "Drunk"? I don't remember what the definitions were on the coasters that John had out. It was good to see the May's and Gray's. It has been a long time since many of us got together. Thanks for the breakfast John!

Sunday was the day of the lost hour. It didn't help my sleep pattern at all and it did make for a long day. Got home, chilled for a bit, then it was nap city. Now if my G-folks could only remember that from Noon to 4p or 5p, I'm out cold BUT NO! The g-mom thought it was necessary to call the house, the cell, the house again, wait about 20 minutes, call the house AGAIN, wait another 20 minutes and do it again; it was all to tell me the nephew did well in the Boyscouts car races like last year. Yeah how is that more important than a non-crabby rested Tina? Of course I ignored the phone and got the messages later only to have her call me again around 6p. Egads they have to get some hobbies.

Monday the 3rd was not a taxing day but it was going to be a long day. Going over to Jen's to help out again for some hours then on to French class. Not sure if I have the chair in an incorrect position or me but man did my neck hurt after a few hours. Nothing a massage on Thursday won't cure. French class was a bit interesting. Teacher was having fun with us and what we like to eat.

Tuesday was another day with hours by Jen. But this time I only stayed for a few hours. Needed a break from all the data entry. That kinda stuff drives my eyes crazy after a bit. Hit Mayfair mall hoping to see 16 Blocks before it left the nice theatres. It didn't start until 730. I wasn't going to wait around from 230 until then. Caught V for Vendetta at 415 instead. So during my "waiting" time, I hit a few of the new stores there and got my nails done. The nails were getting a bit ragged and I didn't want to fix them up myself, so the 4 seasons nail shop seemed like the best place.

See one can be busy when happily unemployed. :D

Get out there and have some fun before it's all gone. I know I am. Chow!
