I love goin' off a clean slate, but I undeniably miss the comfortable routine from home.
Y'know, I day dream about playing videogames now.
And not just sitting down for like an hour or somethin' and playing a little bit of something. I mean spending an entire night, or weekend with my friends, together on a couch, or on-line just getting sucked into a game without a care in the world.
Now? Right now I can hardly stop moving.
After I took my aptitude test for that state employment program, I definitely could've just taken the rest of the day off. But I keep thinking I can't waste time not making money.
I really wanted to spend the day just enjoying the beautiful 70 degree weather, but I get this pang of guilt about not making money.
It's gotten to the point where I'll work a half day on Saturdays. So I've only been taking a day off each weekend.
Amy thinks I should just chill out a bit. I
do have a couple grand total amongst my bank accounts, I definitely wouldn't be hurting if I calmed down a bit. But I keep thinking, what if something happens? What if I'll need the money? I don't wanna see my money go down, I wanna see it go up.
...
I
need to just calm down and enjoy life a little.
