Normally I would spend Sunday preparing for the week ahead. This is a new time in my life, though, so I'm more preparing for the long-term. I have a whole list of projects that I plan to get started on, and I'm hoping I can structure my week like a regular work-week, except instead of working for money, I'll be working for my own well-being. For example, every day I hope to spend some time working on my portfolio in case I decide that I actually want to do architecture again, some time studying things I want to study, and some time working on projects that I've been procrastinating. Also, I plan to spend time going to the gym, and I'm hoping to start getting a reasonable amount of sleep, which has always been a problem for me.
One of the things that I did today that is a normal Sunday activity for me was to go to the farmer's market, which improved my mood considerably. There's nothing like seeing piles of fresh produce in January for reasonable prices, grown locally by actual farmers, to make me happy. I bought mandarins, Brussels sprouts, lettuces, two types of mushrooms, potatoes, and squash. That should easily get me through the week, if not farther. I'm excited to make mushroom soup, tomato-squash soup, and roasted Brussels sprouts with potatoes.
So at this point, it's a matter of deciding what I want to do each day (in addition to looking for a job, of course). I plan to spend two days working out at my mom's house, and then the rest of the week is mine! All mine! It's a bit of a strange feeling to have so much time for myself. I'm a little worried that I'll get too used to it.
