Day off

Hi ppl. Once again, it is my day off.
My news: I have a reg job now. I have been working casually as a collator at Flyer Services for around 4 years, and I have just gotten a regular job there. Yay me. So That's a one or two day a week thing, which is perfect, and allows me to regular pioneer.
I will be taking over one of Elenor's bible studies shortly, when she goes in for surgery.
I usually take Tuesdays off, because it's our meeting night, and nobody in the cong really goes out in service then. and it's good to have a day to sleep in longer, and have nothing definite planned.
Today I woke up after 10 am. ^_^ and tidied up most of the upstairs and fed myself, and watched The Pelican Brief, and by the time that was done, it was 3:00..I went out to get mushrooms, and now I'm here checking my websites and updating. I started rewriting my novel Niara, some of you may remember this one. I wrote around 7 chapters, and it was semi-autobiographical. At the time. But I dunno. I've changed so much since I started it, it has been a struggle to decide where the plot is going. And minute details that have bogged me down. But anyway. I am working on it now, have no idea how long I'll take. But I'm guessing awhile.
I've ben thinking lately that I might be experiencing a sort of creative burnout. I think I need to just take some time to nourish my soul and find my creativity stream again. Creativity has just seemed to find me over the years, andit's never been mch of a problem. Yes, I've had not-so-great ideas, and yes, I've experienced writer's block, and yes, I have even had questions about who I am and what exactly I represent. But this feels just a little different. I know who I am, and what I do. But the question, I think, has become more of who am I going to be and where exactly am I headed?
I'm not too terrible worried, I know I'll sort it out. I just need some time.
So my dad fixed our record player a few days ago, so I've been sifting through his massive record collection an I found a few good records. He has a few Fleetwood Mac albums, and a Blue Rodeo one- it has their song Try on it. I love it. And he has a 45 with Barry Manilow's single Mandy, which I've listened to a couple times. I've always shyed away from songs with my name. If you've heard as many renditions of "Amanda, Light of My Life", you'd understand. But anyway. I have heard it, it's not too bad, I guess. But I always spell my name Mandi, never Mandy.
And other things I've found so far are a Beach Boys record(shudders...remembers back to grade 4) that's a story for another time. And there's something by Tim Finn that takes me waay back. Mom used to have that album on tape, and would play it in the car all the time. And a 45 with Olivia Newton John and Cliff Richards. Those are just a few, and like I said, I haven't gone through all the records yet. Seems to me I had seen a 45 of Star Wars Theme Song or something a few years back, I'll have to see about that one again.
Anyways, thats all for me for now. ttyl
