Hello, blog land!

Happy weekend.

Seeing as I'm currently unemployed the days tend to blend together and the concept of 'weekend' sort of disappears.
I'm sure you've all experienced this during summer holidays, etc. But being without a job since May, this is getting kind of old. I miss the anticipation, the longing for a few days off.

Yeah, yeah. Cry me a river, right? But it's true. There's something about having this thing at the end of the week to look forward to. It makes everything bearable. How many times haven't you thought, 'Well, at least it's Thursday. Only one more day to go.'? It makes the week feel okay. Because at least you have those two days to relax, spend time with your family, see your friends and that makes it all okay.

I know that not everyone has a 'five days work, two days off' schedule. I didn't have that, whilst working at the toy store. But there was still a couple of days thrown in there somewhere, that was entirely yours. It felt like a gift, something to really cherish; to make the most out of.

When you don't have that, it all tends to feel the same. And not in the 'I am free and can do whatever I want!' sort of way. The days just pass by. Your friends and family are all working, so you're left on your own. I don't think I've watched as much Netflix, as I have the last 9 months. And it frustrates me. I've been in a rut, where the days only consisted of looking for work, applying for jobs and watching Netflix. No more!

I am going to make a pledge right now.

I pledge to get out of the house at least once a day and do something that makes me happy. 

It could be something as simple as a walk down to the beach or going to the gym (which I really, really should do more. Will probably blog about that at a later time.). Or it could be something I've never done before.

The days are mine and mine alone. If I don't take care of them, they are going to disappear and leave me behind.

Tell me, LoM readers. What are you going to pledge? Let me know in the comments. Let's do this together!
I would also really like suggestions for things I can do for my pledge, because I have a feeling I will run out of ideas at some point.

Have a great weekend. I will definitely try to.

BYE!
