- Finish editing and get published a poetry compilation from a favorite poet / friend
- Research and work on my novel some more
- Read as many fiction novels as I can
- Watch as many movies as I can
- Swim as many days as I can--it's a short warm weather season here
- Get my house in order--I may be putting my study area in the living room. We rarely use that room since we can't afford cable or dish. I occasionally watch a movie on our 32" analog TV, but usually I watch movies on my laptop. My husband and I picked up a desk the other night. It was just down the street from us, in someone's front yard with a FREE sign on it. It's light-colored wood, very heavy, very big, and has no drawers. It's perfect--mostly because it's free. It's tall enough that I can fit a filing cabinet under there, which I badly need. Right now our bill files are in a milk crate--organized, but not easily accessible. I'll get a picture of the desk once we bring it into the house. Right now it's on the patio.
- Keep looking for a part-time job--no way can I do school and work full-time. I just don't have that kind of energy or endurance, although I am slowly increasing my exercise
- I'd love to visit some friends, see my sister and nieces, and attend a school reunion for my husband in Southern California the first part of August. We'll see if we can pull the money out of our butts for that.
- I'd also like to get up to Chico to see friends and just walk around downtown--the shops there are great!
On Monday, I want to call and verify that my current student loans are still in an unemployment deferment. I checked online, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the information is right. I want to talk to a human to make sure all is in order (and doesn't prevent me from getting new loans. *ahem*)
So right now, it's just one day at a time. Soon, it will be more like one hour at a time. Heh.
