Day 2

This is officially Day 2 of being unemployed -- partially out of choice, but mostly due to necessity. In the last 2 days I have fielded phone calls from friends and relatives inquiring if I am bored out of my tree yet, which incidentally, I have found rather amusing. In fact, I am not running out of things to do.

For example, I spent most of the afternoon laying on the couch since I pulled something out of place in my upper back, and it was excruciating to do most actions, including sitting. So I took a muscle relaxant and found myself quite stoned for the afternoon. I found it difficult to focus, and my eyes were drooping. This somewhat threw my plans for the day out the window, as I fully expected to spend the day sitting on the couch watching game shows.

Okay, this story is a little embellished. It is true, however, that I have a long list of projects that need to be done around my house. Much of it can be accomplished with this fantastic new product that has recently been brought to my attention: It's called Swiffer.

Perhaps you've heard of it.
