Typically whenever I write, it\u2019s at work, and I\u2019m on some variant of downtime.\u00a0 Currently, I\u2019m actually at home, and the urge to write about something came upon me entirely while I\u2019m on my very own spare time.\u00a0 This hasn\u2019t really happened to me in quite some time, so I figured out why not write and see what comes out.<\/span><\/p>\n I don\u2019t want to say that the last few weekends have sucked by any means, but the truth of the matter is that I haven\u2019t had any time to myself throughout the last three weekends.\u00a0 That in itself was kind of problematic, and it got to a point where it began affecting my moods very obviously, as I hadn\u2019t really had any time to unwind, decompress, or simply relax.\u00a0 Given the circumstances, I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to do it again because that\u2019s what friends do, but I\u2019m also not going to deny that it really was taking its toll on me as well the longer it went on.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But the matter is for the most part finished, at least the ticking clock portion of it.\u00a0 Anything else can be done with no real clock hanging over it.\u00a0 That being said, this is the first weekend in which I\u2019ve got completely to myself, and I\u2019ve been taking full advantage of it.\u00a0 As I\u2019d actually prepared for it, I made a lasagna at the very start of it with full intention of feeding off of it throughout the three-day weekend, and I had every full intention of doing only things that I\u2019d want to, which I have held true to, to now.<\/span><\/p>\n The funny thing is that in the back of my mind, I\u2019m having one of those niggling thoughts of my single-ness and how I should be out doing relationship things if I were in a relationship, but to be perfectly honest, right now it doesn\u2019t matter because I\u2019m feeling so relaxed doing nothing but me-things.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been sitting around at home playing video games, watching television, and I finished up watching the remaining episodes of\u00a0Parks & Rec<\/em>\u00a0that was available on Netflix.\u00a0 After I\u2019m done writing, I\u2019m likely going to dive back into another video game, before going to bed at some unknown A.M. hour where I\u2019ll sleep until my body wakes up naturally.<\/span><\/p>\n Just today, I had gotten over seven hours for the first time in three weeks, and I left the house and got shit done.\u00a0 I went to the bank to make a transaction, I went to Starbucks, and I went to Home Depot to get shit I needed to make some renovations to the attic space up above my garage.\u00a0 I made most of the said renovations, and then I showered, ate more lasagna, and played more video games.\u00a0 As far as I\u2019m concerned, aside from the earnest attempt to improve my home, nothing else I did could be remotely considered productive, but frankly I don\u2019t give a damn, because god damn it, I feel like I simply needed some time to myself to waste my own time instead of working against clocks.<\/span><\/p>\n Sure, I think about the people in the world I know, who are undoubtedly mostly likely doing things way cooler than I am doing, but its times like this where it doesn\u2019t really matter.\u00a0 The fact that I\u2019m catching up on my personal time and that it feels this good is kind of a sign of understanding my threshold, and the importance of regulating the time within it.<\/span><\/p>\n And with that, the drive to write something is winding down, so I\u2019m going to call it for this post.\u00a0 My Xbox is looking mighty appealing right now, and zombies in China aren\u2019t going to kill themselves.\u00a0 And the dog looks like he\u00a0could possibly<\/em>\u00a0relax just a little bit more.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Typically whenever I write, it\u2019s at work, and I\u2019m on some variant of downtime.\u00a0 Currently, I\u2019m actually at home,
