Dateline 7-31-2016

It is too hot to think today and being that it is Sunday I'm going to opt to take a break. I know I mentioned earlier in the week that I took some time off, but that wasn't really planned. It also wasn't really time off as I had to work my day job and I spent the two days sitting at my computer trying to find motivation but failing hard.

I mentioned this is the past but it bears repeating for this post, I feel that having a flexible schedule where I have full control over my day leaves me feeling a little guilty especially when everyone else I live with has legitimate lives with full-time work, kids and college. Me, I work part time from home and fill the rest of the day with non-accredited online classes where I get to set my own pace.

Granted I'm getting a lot done but I feel like I'm getting away with something so I try to limit planned leisure time to justify my unconventional approach to restarting my life. I think I'm just overthinking things because I'm the only one that seems to be concerned.

I just hope my plans pay off soon and my self-education will enable me to earn more of an income because that the biggest guilt inducer in my life at this point. Since I'm only making enough to scrape by while living rent free I can't truly afford to support myself and since I've been out on my own since I was 18 it feels a little weird to freeload as I desperately try to figure things out.

Oh well, I do feel like I've made a ton of progress since leaving Seattle but I've still got a ways to go to get to where I need to be. Now, I'm going to take advantage of this Sunday by taking a nap before starting a movie marathon!

Talk to you tomorrow,
