How sad that this is only the second post this month! Oh well.
I work as a substitute teacher, so I have about twenty days a month that I can work. Last month I worked eight days, which is really good. Unless I get a job tomorrow, I will have worked six days this month.
Some people ask, "What do you do with your extra time? Don't you get bored?!"
Ummmmmm, not really.
Amos works in the afternoons, so after he leaves, I get to work.
Today, I dusted the blinds in the kitchen, swept our little house, mopped the kitchen, shook out the rugs, dusted a few other things, straightened the bedroom, did the dishes, and raked and swept the backyard. Later I will do more dishes.
I usually try to clean right after Amos leaves, leaving the more fun things as an incentive for later, such as baking stuff, making crafts, looking at Facebook and Pinterest, going on a walk, or reading. Every once in a while I will hang out with one of my friends in the evening. (I'm an introvert; I don't mind being alone for most of the day.) Sometimes I take something I've cooked to Master's so Amos can have a taste; I'll also say hi to Danielle, who works in the campus bookstore.
On Tuesday I made a pillow. Yesterday I went to work and Bible study. On Fridays I usually go to three or more grocery stores before I hop over to church to pick up the 600ish bulletins that we stuff on Friday and/or Saturday night. On Sundays we have to get to church early to bring the bulletins and to secure our seats behind Wayne and Rosemary Dell, one of our elders and his wife. Sometimes Amos stays for all three services in order to run the slides; sometimes I man the hospitality table (I make sure that we don't run out of cups or donut holes). This Sunday I will be back at church during the third service to go to our missions leadership meeting. In the evenings we go back to church once again to serve at Fusion, the college-age young adult ministry. On Mondays Amos and I hang out or go places before he has to go to his overnight shift.
So, no, I don't get bored.
