Now, that’s a big word for such a boring blog post. I learned the word, lackadaisical in 6th grade. I’m sure you all were tortured through weekly vocabulary lessons where you learned words that would barely stick with you past a week. Lackadaisical stuck with me. Not for it’s actual meaning really, but because when I was in 6th grade, I loved daisies.
Most of my lifestyle at home is fairly lackadaisical lately. I work for 8 hours, making maps, and I come home to do what seems like barely anything. It’s lame — really lame.
I remember having a post-it calendar completely full of meetings, classes, projects to work on, deadlines to meet. Now, it’s empty and fairly flexible to get things done. I’ve tried to make goals for myself, but they really no longer interest me. Â
It’s so weird that I’m polar opposite in my career. I try to impress, want to learn more and constantly explore the software to teach myself new things, to eventually get a GISP.
I wish I could find the drive to sew more, blog more, clean more or even care enough to not let my puppy get away with too much.
How do you get out of a funk like this? Are you in a lackadaisical funk when it comes to home life?
P.S. Just a word from the last post about my dSLR, I would like to thank the hubs for driving 1 hour out of his way to get me my dSLR camera on major clearance. He wanted a shout-out here, so here’s his shout-out! Go hubs. 🙂
We can go do something sometime! To get you out of the house 🙂
I feel like that sometimes too. What about a new hobby? A crafting, baking or sewing class? A new sport? A class at the gym? Hmm..I’ll keep thinking!
Oh and way to to go hubby! What a good guy you have 🙂
Just found your blog on a comment you left on iloveyoumuch’s blog….I know what you mean about being in a FUNK!!! I have just entered into my first year of marriage and my first year not being in school (finished my undergrad degree last May) I have always been working towards something….either that or super busy and after having found out I just got accepted into grad school I have been a two month period of just WAITING….it has been hard to just take a break but I think the reminder that this is the LAST time I will ever have to just chill keeps me from pulling all my hair out from lackadaisical boredom…also, I borrowed my mom-in-law’s sewing machine and attempted to learn that (epic fail, i’ve used it like twice), maybe you could try a spin class at the gym? (those are my favorite and I wish I had a membership right now to do them) and as for blogging, it is hard to do everyday….I usually do it when I have a thought or inkling of something I think I, my kids, or my family might want to read someday (I have no kids right now just thinking of fun things they might like to read about their mom & dad’s newlywed adventure) that usually helps to motivate me to write from time to time. Anywho, I enjoy your honesty!! 🙂
Thanks for the idea! I started sewing but I basically suck at it haha! Spinning scares me..I am 90 lbs. overweight, but I do want to give it a shot one day. 🙂
