( cat health update )

i am definately making better use of my unemployed state than i have in the past.
i have arranged to start volunteering at second harvest heartland (a whole 5 blocks from my house)every friday while i'm unemployed. this will a)give me some semblance of a schedule b)give me the feeling of doing something really worthwhile on a weekly basis c)get me in contact with people who work somewhere i would like to work and an "in" if they happen to get an opening d)save me the trouble of an informational interview there.
i have set a schedule for myself where i get up at 9 every day and start doing something productive daily. errands/clean-up in the morning and at the library by 12. so far i have several pages of notes for my thesis and i'm feeling pretty good about it. it amuses me that i actually have real plans to quote fight club.
in the last two days i have talked to jerad and gotten advice about how to do informational interviews, got my tabs renewed on my car, gone to the bank, taken luther to the vet, gotten the cat food he won't eat ready to go to the local no-kill shelter as a donation, taken the recycling out, spent lots of time at the library and in general been pretty productive even IF the science fiction section has proven itself to be too much temptation for me to avoid entirely while i'm there.
