reading writing and hand usage

Two months have flown by. My third year of post secondary ended well and I roadtripped it back to Alberta.
I have been home for two months now and it has been pretty fantastic. Catching up with friends and family here has been so good. There is so much to do and only so little time. I had such good intentions when I came here and, well you can probably guess, only few have actually come to be. But Summer is not over yet. 2 more months until I return to Ontario.

Working life is busy. VERY BUSY. Some Mondays I  don't even know how I'll get through the coming week, and then suddenly it's Friday. Another week done. Lived. Past. History. Lived to the fullest I always hope. And yet I don't always feel that way. For one of the summer jobs I have *yep I have I multiple jobs* I do the same thing every day, every week, and every month. It is boring and mindless work. The people I work with make it fun. Yet my brain is so bored. It's out of shape...
I do have a lot of time to think when working that job. It amazes me how quick my brain can take trips from one destination of thought to the next with many detours and u-turns. Yes I think about the same things often and other times it is completely strange and foreign subject I have never once put my mind to. This is a kind of fun experience and yet it frustrates me. For months, while in university, I thought 'wouldn't it be nice to put my brain on hold, give my thoughts a break, and just relax my head?!' Well, now I have those times and for four months it will go on. I need something that will stimulate brain activity and exercise while working with my hands (without reading or writing, or hand usage).. If you have any tips, please send them my way.

While I wait I continue to read books during my spare (if you can call it spare time!) that hopefully advance me intellectually or at least keep me at the same level of brain activity.

Making the best of this life, of working life which is crazy busy as one works uhm a handful of summer jobs. Its fun and I am enjoying it, but some days it is hard to stay motivated. Even though I am busy it does not mean I am particularly motivated....
So that's my goal for the rest of the summer. To stay motivated! (even if that means looking forward to each pay check at the end of each month - that would be only 2 more after this one - eek!)
