Let me outta here!

OK, so I'm really starting to get tired of being home alone all day. I don't know how "stay at home moms" or "out of work dads" do it. I guess it's different if one has children at home. And I suppose there are some people who just enjoy being home all the time. But I am not one of them. Never have been. And I knew that this day would come; I just didn't know when. It's actually taken longer than I thought.

It's not that I don't have anything to do. There's plenty to do. I could mow the lawn, try to fix the irrigation system, patch and paint some nail holes in the livingroom wall, etc., etc. And I have shelves full of books I haven't had time to read. I am not a person who cannot imagine enough to keep myself occupied. It's just that after weeks of doing those things, I'm tired of them. I want out of this house. But I can't just go for walks or hang out at the library either because I know there are things at home I should be doing. I'd be happy to ignore those things for the sake of a useful activity, but I can't skive off for no good reason.

So, I need a good reason. :)

Still hoping to get a job soon, I am not in a position to undertake a commitment to anything, like volunteer work, but I'm open to other suggestions if anyone has any.
