LAZY DAY
I probably have had many lazy days. My lack of motivation to do anything troubles me at times, but I don't really do anything about it. I have no self-motivation because I get bored of doing anything that lacks meaning. Unfortunately, I tend to be motivated by money and I really hate that feeling. But that's the way it is. I'm also motivated when I know others can get angry at me, but other than that, I no longer have the motivation I used to feel when doing something. I wonder if age has something to do with that?
These days, when I'm not working, I usually just sit around and wait until I know I have to run before it gets too dark. That's what happened today. I thought about doing some things like contacting some painters (for the Pomona duplex) or even some carpet installers, but instead, I took a nap. I woke up around 4:30P and decided it was time to run.
I ran over to the post office to drop off my EDD form. I'm basically making enough money right now not to qualify, but I bet next week I'll probably qualify for a check from them since I probably won't be working. Most productions shut down in the next few weeks for the season hiatus, but sometimes I'll get lucky and get a gig or two. I'll probably get more from EDD than working, but I want to build-up my quarterly totals to see if I can get close to qualifying for more money from EDD and for insurance for AFTRA or SAG. There's also the SAG pension that maybe I could qualify for, but it seems so impossible and far away.
When I got home, I changed the bulb on the outside of the side of the house. I'm glad it can take fluorescent bulbs, unlike the ceiling fans. So I put a sunlight bulb out there which is similar to a shop light. See, there are different shades of light when it comes to light. The other kind is a warmer tone which is good for indoor lighting.
Then I played poker and got a lame bad beat on Bodog. I guess I should be okay with this since over the long run, these bad beats are a good sign that you are getting your money in with the best hand. But it still stings when I lose because it feels so unfair. At least it's just for a few dollars. Can you imagine getting a bad beat at the WSOP?
