A Slow Week...

Yup...not much exciting is happening out here in the Back Forty. I find I've gone into a routine, day in and day out. I get up, get dressed, go to the restaurant and have a coffee ( and a smoke), and then I go to work. Today was no exception. I worked from 11am til about 10pm, but Dad told me to go upstairs for a bit because it was mind-numbingly slow. I'll be downstairs in about a half hour or so because there'snot a heck of a lot to do here either.
I've rediscovered my love of reading again, and make it a point to read for a bit before I go to sleep. When I was in Uni, I found reading just for pleasure was an impossible task. I wanted to but simply had no time because I was reading books I HAD to read for school. I've fallen in love with books by Dan Brown. If you can, pick them up and start reading...I'll guarantee you won't be able to put it down without some serious effort. I also read MaCleans magazine regularly, and am delighted that I can catch the news on a daily basis (we have TV at the restaurant). If I'm not working, or reading, or sleeping or watching the news, I'm just thinking. A place as small as this town will make you live within your thoughts. I mainly think about my action plan now that my parents are doing good. I can't stay home forever. I can't leave right away because I need to save money to go someplace and its too slow here to make adequate money to leave. But am exploring every avenue I possibly can at this time. I have faith.
So next week, I'll be getting my passport pics done...I wanted to get it over with because you never know when you might get the chance to leave the country for a while, and I want to be ready. And I'll be asking the photographer in Marathon if he does head shots for acting resumes, and if he does, I'll be arranging to get those done. Next is to find a reputable aent I can send my resume and photo to. I'm gonna be proactive here, and do this myself. I made the mistake of taking someones word before that he would be my "Manager", and all he did was waste my precious time (among other things). So no relying on anyone else to make this happen. I can do this on my own. I'm relearning how right now. I feel good about this. In type, these goals seem quite reasonable and attainable. I'll get these things done, then set some more goals.
Whew! All done for awhile. I apologize for not blogging sooner..I guess I've been taking others cues and just avoiding cyberspace for a while. I do check in to se comments whenever I'm on, so a shout out would be great.
To all my Blogger friends...wherever you may be...peace be with you!
I'm done
