i wear the same clothes multiple days without realizing it.

dear you,


i feel like it's been a while since i've blogged, sharing my life experiences with you. but the truth is that nothing has really happened over the past month. canberra shuts down for quite a few weeks after the holiday season. because it's summertime, people leave this city to spend time in another. because people leave, businesses slow down. because work slows down, my volunteer placements have... stopped.


and now, this is my life.


i wake up an hour before midday. after soaking up every ounce of comfort from my bed, i stumble into the kitchen searching for something to eat. dilemma #1: do i eat breakfast food or lunch? after consuming some type of meal, i go back to my bedroom and back on my bed. dilemma #2: do i sit up, or lay down? i turn on my laptop and check the appropriate sites. a few hours later, i muster up the energy to brush my teeth, maybe wash my face.  i then stand in front of my fan, mumbling to myself about how hot it is. dilemma #3: do i practice guitar or read a book? before i know it, the smell of dinner enters the stale air. i sit at the table, conversing with my housemates about our extremely lazy days and the need to feel useful again. after cleaning up the table, we all form around the t.v. to watch detective shows. by 10.30, the house is dark and quiet, as people are already in bed. i, however, turn on my light, close the door, and write a letter, draw, or read until my eyes finally get tired. by 2 a.m. i'm laying in bed, finally able to fall asleep.


this has been my average day for the past month. but don't fear, all you spiritual and financial supporters. in a weeks time i'll be back to the busy schedule of volunteering throughout the city. i promise.


sincerely,
shae


p.s. any suggestions on how to fill my days with purpose is gladly welcomed....
