For those of you who know my mother, you know never to tell her that you are bored because if you do she will give you a not-so-fun thing to do. Even while I'm here in Texas and Mom is in California, if I say I'm bored she will find a long-distance assignment for me.
Well, I don't have to go to work, so I have all week to myself to do whatever I want. You may be thinking, "Wow! I wish I had a whole week to do whatever I want!" But don't think so fast. After a day or so of this you will be wishing your old life back.
I've been doing stuff--don't get me wrong. I practiced flute for 1.5 hours yesterday, I made a cute little craft which I would post a picture of if it wasn't a Christmas present for someone. I even went to the dentist. But my productivity stopped there. I subsequently watched two hours of Antiques Road Show. There are some things that I should be doing, for example, washing the dishes, doing the laundry, doing homework, etc. But the Antiques Road Show is just so much more engaging.
But before you find an assignment for me, take a look at my plans for the rest of the week, which are looking better than yesterday: I played flute this morning and I am going to the bishop's storehouse to volunteer this afternoon, then going visiting teaching this evening. Wednesday I finally get to go hang out with Janet, Clara, and James. Thursday I'm doing the cookie thing again, and having some friends in the ward over for a movie night. Friday is that dumb party that I don't want to go to, nevertheless I will spend a good deal of time before it curling my hair.
So I guess I'm not bored anymore. Never mind, Mom. False alarm.

I am sorry, baby. You should have come here.
Having so much free time is definitely not all that it is cracked up to be. I think I go through minor post-final depressions because I have nothing to study for, work for, or practice. Basically, as I always imagined Oprah would say, "I feel your pain."
By the way, I wanted to comment on your last post and commend you on your cookie making skills. Just looking at them put me in a festive mood!
