The first three weeks...

I have completed my first three weeks of house arrest and it is going so slow.  The first few days were the hardest.  I didn't feel like doing anything, not even taking a shower.  I think I spent most of my time either on Face Book or looking for a job on Monster.

My brother and his family stopped by on their was home one day and picked up another phone for me.  I have that one on a 100' foot cord and leave it downstairs and another one in my apartment.  I no longer have to drag one phone up and down the stairs.  It's amazing how these little things in life we take for granted mean so much.

My Dad decided that he would come up every Monday to bring me groceries and have dinner with me.  That lasted a little more than a week because we had a family crisis this past week that took priority over mine.  It doesn't bother me because I know if I need anything, my Dad is there for me, not to mention all of my wonderful friends.  So now, he stops by when in the area or on his way home from my Brother's house. 

My friends are always calling, emailing, and texting me just to see how I am doing.  In the beginning I was having such cravings for my favorite smoothie from WaWa (Mango) that everyone knew to bring me one if they came to visit.  It almost became a joke that I was going to turn into one.  I have never been much of an eater and am content with one meal a day.  My mango smoothie was one of those things that always made me happy and brought me a little joy since there is no WaWa within walking distance.

I started reading a lot and spending almost everyday outside tanning.  I don't think I have had this great of a tan since I was a teenager.  My nights are sometimes boring.  I'm not a big TV watcher so I started to take advantage of On Demand and watching DVDs that I haven't seen in a long while.  Last week, each night I watched each of the SAW movies in succession.  Yea, blood and gore are one of my favorite types of movies.

There was one day that it rained so I was stuck inside.  I organized and cleaned my two bedroom apartment for close to six hours.  It usually takes me two so this can explain why everything and I mean everything was spotless.  On a side note, I enjoy cleaning and find it very relaxing.

I now periodically watch my eight year old nephew when needed.  The other day we watched Gnomeo and Juliette, twice.  I like the movie so I didn't mind at all and it kept him occupied.  He's staying with my Dad this week and they will be visiting me this Thursday evening.  My Dad has to do something in the evening so after we have an early dinner I plan on playing games or doing a puzzle with him, no TV this time around.
