My life as a bum. (Missing Mississippi: Notes from a Dixie exile)

My life as a bum.

I am currently basking in the glow of three days of glorious unemployment. I finished my last week at my former job last Thursday, and then we went out of town to see Dan's family this weekend, which was a great break for us. I don't start my new job until Thursday, so since Monday I've been officially unemployed. It's been kind of nice. I've cleaned the house and taken care of pesky things that I never seem to get around to when I'm working, like cleaning out closets and cooking actual food and catching up on email and laundry. It feels really good to have gotten done with the laundry for once instead of always being three loads into a six load cycle. And I love for our apartment to be clean ... really, really clean. But tomorrow is my last day of endless available time, and then it's back to work. That's probably a good thing, because after a while, I start to feel kind of edgy if I don't have somewhere to go, something to do. Three days is about the maximum amount of time that I can be at leisure and still be comfortable. Still, I'm going to make the most of tomorrow. I think I'm going to cook breakfast, drink coffee, go to the bookstore, buy a good book and just enjoy my day. Time really is the greatest luxury in the world.
What do you do with free time?

This free time you speak of...I'm not quite sure... I sort of remember hearing about it and not understanding it then either. Have fun on your new job.
