Too much time!

As predicted, Nancy did a wonderful job. Now it's my turn to make it worthwhile.

I have been in Utah without my family now for 6 months. I go to work early and leave around mid-afternoon. Every day I dread thinking of what to do after work. I usually visit the library. Who would have thought that someone who hates to read and loves to play, would frequent the library more than play. It's not necessarily by choice. If I had my own computer where I live with internet access, than I wouldn't ever visit the library. But all 4 computers we own are in Delaware with Nancy and the kids. So, I have become a library card holder and spend 30 - 120 minutes on weekdays at the library.

After leaving the library I have the remainder of the evening that needs to be filled in. I still have a few choices of what I might do for the evening. There is always the dollar theater, assuming I haven't seen everything showing or don't want to see something a 2nd or 3rd or 4th time. I could play games on my PSP that I bought. I could read scriptures and study lessons for Sunday meetings. Sometimes I can play sports but that starts real late. And then of course I could just sleep time away.

Early on I would go to the dollar theater. In November and December I saw Mamma Mia. At first I didn't realize it was a musical but decided I was going to watch it anyway. Turned out I really liked it. Enough so that I went and saw it a few more times before it left the theater. Nancy thought I was off my rocker especially after she saw the movie. My Uncle thinks I need some time spent with "The Guys". As Brad Paisley's song goes, "...Honey, I'm still a guy."

Lately I have been playing Basketball on Tuesday nights starting at 10pm and Volleyball on Thursday nights starting at 8pm. I spend the maximum amount of time possible because I would rather tire myself out from playing one night until real late and then catch up on sleep the next. This means I usually get to bed around 12 - 12:15. That's not the best seeing as I get up between 4:30 and 4:45. Thank goodness for Saturdays when I sleep in all the way to 9.

Today I got done work early. I will be going home just as soon as I finish this post, where I will clean up and then take a nap so that I can stay up late playing. I figured I would nap now because on Saturday I won't be able to catch up on my sleep because I am going to ref the YM basketball games from 8 - Noon.

I'm sure there are many of you who wish you had all this time and even know what you would do with it. But let me tell you, it only takes a couple of weeks before the routine gets old. It would be much better if I had my family and all of our possesions waiting for me when I got to our home.....one day....hopefully soon!!!!!
