I've been so restless these last couple of days. Have I forgotten how to relax? I remember loving summer days in high school: wake up at noon, eat whatever was in the fridge, watch tv for several hours, take a walk, listen to music, go on the internet, eat with family, watch tv for several hours, listen to music, go to sleep. What a life! Somewhere between then and now--through a first job, high school graduation, moving, college, moving, a second job, moving, more college, moving, a third job, moving, more college, moving, a fourth job, graduation, moving, more school, moving, and job searching--I lost track of how to putz around for hours and love it. Right now it is my goal to retrain that ability before I get caught up in the cycle.
This is a perfect time to think about this for several reasons:
1. John David is coming to visit tomorrow, and I want to relax, show him around town, and have a lot of fun.
2. I've finally adjusted to my sublet and have made a comfortable nest for myself (for at least 15 more days, but let's not think about that).
3. I got a job! Yessssssssssughgughgughghgg. Big sigh of relief, and happiness. I'll be working for a division of Random House called Crown. It is a great job, and I start on Wednesday.
So yeah, time to chill. Any suggestions?

Miles! It's Max. Congrats on getting the job. For relaxing: if you have a blender or food processor available, I would recommend making some hummus, then proceeding to gorge on it with some pita chips and a book or some TV or something. That's what I've been doing pretty frequently this summer.
Gorging on snacks sounds very appealing. Thanks, Max!
yayayayayay! you found a job! and i'm soon to be unemployed! yay for both of us!
umm, as for occupying yourself... i bought a yoga ball and a jump rope... they can be fun...
