How I spent my first furlough day!

October 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Furlough days are so much fun! *sarcasm* It felt a lot more like being unemployed for a day than it felt like having a day off. I had just spent the previous week moving and cleaning, so I was beat. It was a good day to do very little and get some R&R time in. So I hung pictures and organized the new place.

I also watched a lot of good stuff on Hulu:

“Community”: Introduction to Film (honestly, not sure why the autism community hasn’t picked up on Abed’s implied Asperger’s syndrome yet).

“The Office”:  The Meeting

“The Office”: The Promotion

“House”: Broken

“Heroes” Acceptance

As you can see, I’ve been way behind.  Good thing I had a furlough so I can catch up on my TV! *sarcasm*

Cupcakes

I got into the new kitchen and baked some cupcakes without frosting.  I don’t like frosting and I’m allergic to so much…  I checked out the pre-made frosting at Basha’s and they were all so filled with chemicals and dyes!  I was grossed out.  So I passed.  I was too lazy to make my own frosting that I do like.  So I had yummy allergy-free chocolate cupcakes from Cherrybrook Kitchen.  When I say “allergy-free,” I mean egg-free, gluten-free, peanut-free, nut-free and wheat-free.  I actually can have peanuts, but I can’t have the rest.  The cupcakes are pretty good and vegan too.  I love anything vegan and allergy-free I can get.

Freelance writing

I also started looking for more freelance writing gigs…I am scoping out what’s available as I rev up my websites.  Since I treated the day as a day of rest & relaxation, I haven’t applied for anything yet.  I also didn’t leave my new place.  I was too busy napping and watching TV shows online.  Had it not been a furlough day, it may have been the greatest lazy day ever.
