Moving On!

So, just so we all understand each other I'm writing this Saturday night. "Today" was my last day at Target. I spent virtually every minute of it calculating how long I had left. And now I'm here in the aftermath. A lot of people didn't even realize it was my last day or that I was even quitting. I'm introverted so I never actually spoke to any of my coworkers during my breaks if I could help it, so I didn't make friends. But now that's that and everything is over.

I gotta say, I expected to be happier. But I'm pretty sure it's just because of the fact that since it was a rainy day the water seeped into my mood and corrupted it, so I won't really be happy until tomorrow. Beyond that the snow boots I wear on those days (ones that are so heavy duty they're nigh impervious to water as long as it doesn't come in from the top) don't fit me, so I had to wear two pairs of socks and they still didn't fit comfortably. My feet hurt after working two hours. And also it wasn't a hot day, so when I was inside with the rain jacket on I put on a third layer of sweat, which was super great. Also I had (and still have) a blaring headache. Basically the whole time I was miserable and daring any stranger or boss to try me. I'm almost sad that nobody did.

So, anyway, now a few things need to happen. First and foremost I need to set up a writing schedule now that I have the time to do it at leisure. I'm thinking two chapters of Dreamscape a week will be good, but we'll see how that goes. Also, since I don't have a time and a place for reading (audiobooks) I'm going to have to dedicate time for that every day, too, lest I fall behind once more. I've also always wanted to have a day of the week to dedicate to binge watching anime and other things I might be interested in, but I still don't know if that's a good idea. If I take Fridays, for example, that means I won't have time to focus on writing if I need to. Obviously writing will always come first, but I like planning ahead and scheduling things so that I know what to expect.

​Now I'm going to be a hooligan and go to bed before 11pm. My head almost hurt too much to write this today at all. I could easily get away with not writing for a day or two, but I don't want to get lazy. I don't want to lose that safety net until I absolutely have to, like when I get hit by a skydiving moose, hospitalizing me for weeks. It could happen. Though I guess my likelihood for surviving such an incident were pretty slim. Though if a moose is strictly skydiving I suppose it would have a parachute, probably making so I wouldn't have to be hospitalized at all, because I would most likely see it coming.

I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I'm scared of moose falling from the sky without parachutes. Is that just me?

    A Daily Dose of Derailment

    Hey, my name is Kollin Cooley. Writer, improv actor and teacher, and college student.
    If you've come in search of an interesting blog where you learn valuable things, you took a wrong turn somewhere. I'm impressed, considering you're on the internet where there are no turns.
    But now that you're here, you may as well stay awhile and be disappointed with what you've found.
    At least the only substantial amount of alliteration is in the title, so you won't have to worry about that.
