day fillers

It seems as though the past few days have been filled with random comings and goings. Not totally random I guess, productive in all but a bit scattered. I guess I feel a bit like Alex and I both, together are like stay at home spouses or something. This is probably due to my inexperience in the unemployment world. Take today for example... our big outing was to Ikea, don't get me wrong, ikea is far from nothing, it is everything bit of wonderful but, that was our thing for the day. It just seems a bit silly, i am sure it wouldn't if the day before hadn't been.... "bank day" and the day before "walk around and find somewhere to live day", Sunday was "horse riding and dog walking" and Saturday was "watford mall/ high street" don't get me wrong, the days before these, Wednesday-Friday were very busy passing out our CV and searching high and low for employment, they were very exhausting, and then before that, well it would have been "ocean liner" time. I guess I am just not used to not having some form more of a schedule or productivity to my life. Since the age of 5 I was in school, sometimes summer school for the enjoyment of learning (I know, I know, I'm a nerd) and then on to high school with work in the summer or a busy social calender to keep me more than occupied, then to University with a full coarse load and working one or two jobs. After that graduate school and on to full time work with a part time job on the side most of the time. So, this, is why I am realizing the past few weeks have been so paranormal to me. I feel at a bit of a loss. I am sure I would enjoy this little psycho-social experiment of seeing how someone copes when their life is altered in more ways than one for the first time since the age of 5 (which might I add, I was in pre-school for a bit before that age!) if like so many stay at home mothers, at least in my eyes, had funds to go shopping and buy wonderful beautiful things, or maybe go the spa for a massage and pampering. Though, as it stands now, I am very excited and hopeful to join the wonderful work force once again!
