Home alone

That's right. Today I'm "all by me onesie", as a certain dashing pirate captain would say. And what have I done with my alone time, you ask? Nothing, or nearly so. Today I have 0 (zero) inspiration to accomplish anything. So the fact that I have done a couple loads of laundry, vacuumed, and washed dishes puts me at over-achiever status for the day I suppose.

I watched this great instant-watch flick on netflix called Opa!  I felt so good after watching that film. It made me seriously question why I'm still living in the USA. For many years now I have dreamt of living abroad and aside from NZ there are plenty of incredibly sublime locations to choose from. Sunshine, small town living, slow pace of life, the ocean... what more would I really need? Quaintness, my friends. That is something I would like for my life. Freedom- that's another.

I harvested my green onions a couple days ago, after they had grown thus:

Yum. They went right into a stirfry and were greatly appreciated.

I cleaned out my Grandmother's loft, which has housed seasonal decorations and some old clothes/toys/luggage for many years. I'm ready for trash day as I have bags of trash in the living room, and this tower of cardboard for recycling:

It's about as tall as the top of my head. Nevermind the fact that I have to be up at 7am to move it all out to the road. (7am is early for someone who is a lazy bum.) I'm ready to reclaim all of the space that the trash and recycling are taking up inside. What a mess, but I'm glad that one part of the house is under control now. We'll have to paint the loft in the spring when we can open some windows.

I have my final interview with Verizon tomorrow. Stage 4 of 4. The interview process is at least minorly stressful in even the best of situations, so I'm ready to finalize things here as this process has been thorough- and actually, the thoroughness has made me more excited about the position and possibly working for Verizon. I have never been through such rigorous screening for any job that I've held to date.

Well, I imagine I'll continue my quiet, uneventful day. Leftovers for dinner. I've got a minor headache that's been dogging me all day.. can't be helping. Apologies for this post- it's hardly worth reading. I'll come up with some better material soon, just you wait.
