It's Friday.

My last workday of short-term disability/FMLA leave.

What am I doing?

I slept late.

I resisted the urge to go out and get some lunch and, instead, pulled something out of the freezer and let it bake for an hour.

Spent that hour sorting piles of laundry in the kitchen floor because I realized I have been wearing the same 1 pair of jeans, 2 T-shirts, and 3 pair of underwear for the last 5 weeks. I suppose I need to find some clothes to wear to work Monday. Plus we had a rapid change of seasons where I live and it looks like I'll need to wear long sleeves back to work.

My state of mind is not good.

I'm still feeling lonely, which I posted about last night in another thread.

Still beating myself up for not getting the big To Do list done while I was off work.

Still wondering if I'll be able to handle the job on a daily basis once I return.

I've looked over my budget and several job websites. There is just no way that I can leave this job for another job, considering the fact that I make about $16 per hour, and most jobs around here pay about $8.

My only way out of that job is to continue to build up my list of clients to do freelance work.

That's what I should have been focusing on while I was off but, as always, I was flighty and went from one project to another while I was off instead of focusing on one until completion.

So this is a fascinating day full of laundry.

I suppose I could have done a little laundry here and there while I was off, but that's so unlike me.

Wait until the last minute. Be a procrastinator. Yeah, that's me.
