How i spend my Days

I sometimes feel guilty about being unemployed and loving it so much. These days I'm more concerned about money because my unemployment is half as much as it was before, now that I'm collecting on my new claim (from the Logmein layoff). It is less because, ironically, I didn't have enough income in 2008, since I was unemployed for most of the year.

But I am keeping busy!

Saturday night Alan and I had Sox tickets, courtesy of Eden, and although the game was not a good one for the Sox, it was fun to be out.

Sunday afternoon was the concert with the cantorial students that I have been rehearsing for each Wednesday morning. We had a small but appreciative crowd, and it went much better than I'd originally expected, thanks to some last minute serious rehearsing.

Yesterday- Monday - I spent 5 hours at WCUW working on getting a mailing out to about 300 station contributors. I worked with Troy, the station manager, and Michael, the guy who does the show "Back from the Dead" after Shirim on Sunday nights. He's the only station announcer I know there. He's a bit of a character - undeterminate age (older than I am), and I guess he doesn't work during the day - or not 9-5 - I didn't ask what his story is.. I just know that he doesn't drive and Troy had to go pick him up. In this day and age, that is kind of strange. We labelled and stuffed and stickered and stamped - I was there with Troy until 6 PM, and I know he appreicated the help because he would have had to do it himself and there were 300 envelopes. I even shlepped boxes back and forth from Troys car since he is having knee surgery and is on crutches. Hey, I'm just a jack of all trades. Let's just say that it's a radio station and I'm happy to be there. Wierd, huh???

So today, I slept late and as I usually do when I sleep late, got into action as soon as I could, and am now doing laundry. I need to shower and go out and do some grocery shopping, and then leave for Zamir later on - stopping at the Newton library to return some books.

On Thursday, I'm having a colonoscopy - so tomorrow I can only have liquids and then have to take pills from 5 PM on, to clean myself out. Maybe I'll lose a couple pounds!
