LEX

BORED

i had been looking forward to christmas break for quite some time. not as long as some, but for, oh, a month maybe. i got back from mexico, slowly got sick, and had been tired ever since. two weeks of sleeping in sounded glorious.

and so i slept. and i visit my parents and i celebrated christmas and i read a book and watched a few movies. i ate lots of turkey. i even ran a few miles. and then plans for visiting my brother and sister-in-law changed. and then they fell through.

and after having lunch/dinner and/or coffee with pretty much everyone i know, watching almost all of season 3 of LOST, and baking 2 batches of banana bread and one tres leches...that's when i realized...i'm BORED. i can't remember the last time that happened. i have spent the past 5 months so busy with catching up with old friends, making new ones, starting a new job, working late, working saturdays, and simply readjusting to american life, i kinda forgot what it was like to have time off - from both work and life.

and then i had another realization. i'm bored enough to want to go back to work. cause for once, i actually like my job*. and the crazy thing is that God is so good that i have plenty of friends to keep me busy (either to keep me company or for whom i can bake) when i'm not at work, yet a job to which i don't dread the inevitable return.

i know it's already the fourth day of the year, but i've had all this time to continue reflecting. i don't know when i'll get over how good God is. i hope i never do.


*"job" refers to all things US - all things DR are not included.
