Life as Plain Jane Jones

Warning this post is filled with the mundane, overflowing even.  Read at your own risk.


So after about 4pm today I didn't have anything to do.  I finished work, went to the gym, came home and had nothing to do.  This is what normal people feel like.  I feel like a war vet coming back from duty or a criminal being released from prison and I need to re-adjust to civilian life.  It's creepy.  My type A personality, that got me into a PhD program in the first place, is flippin' out here.  I have to remember to breathe and to take it one day at a time.

So, I came home, changed into my house clothes, through a load of laundry in the wash, washed my tupperware from lunch, then had nothing to do.  Then I noticed I was getting hungry, so I heated up dinner and packed my lunch for tomorrow while dinner was heating up, did the dishes from dinner, folded my laundry, changed my bed sheets, and then had nothing to do by 6pm.  So I decided to finish watching the last two episodes of Portlandia season 2.  Those episodes, Brunch Villiage and Brunch Special (which is just an extended version of the former), were actually a lot better than the rest of season 2.  Then I noticed they had season 3 on Netflix, so I watched the first episode.  I'm not really into the show.  I just don't see why so many people think it's specific to Portland, that's how people are every where.  Well maybe not in middle of nowhere America.  And the executive producer is Lorne Michaels from SNL.

Anyway, so here I am, finished with everything I needed to do, and then some, and don't know what to do with myself, so I'm blogging about it. I want to read a book but my kindle isn't charged up and the cord is short so I can't comfortably read in bed.  I guess I can read my kindle book on my computer.  But I had a book from the Lending Library and I don't think those can be viewed on multiple devices.  I suppose I could play a video game, or go to bed early, or write in my list book, or read a physical book.  *Sigh*
