In my first week back in WY, I have been relatively bored. Not the angsty teenager bored because you're angry that mom didn't let you go to the party and you don't want to act like you're actually enjoying yourself, but the kind of bored that exists when you're an only child on vacation at the beach - you're happy that you're at the beach, not at school, and that you get to pick the marshmallow sugar cereal for breakfast, but there are only so many sand castles that you can build by yourself. Most of it is to be expected because I just moved to a completely new place where I am friends with all of three people within 4 hour driving distance, but I am also used to occupying my time working on some sort of project or toward some sort of goal.
One project I am eager to start is remodeling Ed's house. Although he was gone all week I painted his ceiling, mopped and cleaned the kitchen, fed his dog, and cleaned all the dirty dishes. He finally got back home yesterday and we started to hang kitchen cabinets and install light fixtures today. Unfortunately Ed has to work every once in a while, so I spend my time waiting with his dog Keegan for him to return so we can play.
It just seems that with ample amount of time and even other crew leaders to help out, I should be able to think of some sort of project or business idea. My current plan is to touch base with some of the local service organizations and non-profits in Laramie this week to see if I can start to make connections, and continue to brainstorm ideas with friends. Hopefully at some point it will turn into some reasonable ideas. In the mean time I will continue to apply to Applebees and pizza restaurants in the hopes of finding some money to pay for my thermodynamics book I just bought.
