{the post with lots of parentheses}

Let's be honest, there are dry & seemingly boring parts to all our lives. I go out of my way to avoid anything "boring" and I confess I can rarely go more than a month without some sort of change. If there is nothing new happening in my circumstances, I resort to creating the change myself. This can be a good thing as many positive habits have come from that.. for instance, I'll start learning a new skill (how I picked up guitar, crocheting, and running), change my surroundings (included minor gardening and rearranging my room when I was younger, now I just pack up and move altogether), or change myself (piercings, cut or dye my hair, etc.. quite often my default).
What drives this desire for constant change? Am I unsatisfied or discontent with life the way it is? Or is it just the personality trait of being flexible that's maybe a little out of control? I would not say that I am discontent, but then again it's easy to be blind to my own faults. :/ Perhaps just more than most, I get bored easily.
In other news, the work schedule for the last week of August has just been posted and I am currently scheduled 62 hours, with the potential for adding more. I am not the only one with that kind of schedule though, so it's nice to see who else will be going insane with me! Thankfully, I enjoy working with most of them.
Right after that comes another week of craziness (which I hope won't be quite as bad since work won't be open as late), and then comes VACATION! I know, most people take their vacations before labor day, but who wants to be normal? ;) September 5th-8th, I will be headed down to Virginia with my family to visit MORE family, and so for a few days it'll just be a jolly good time to relax and ignore the outside world. I can't wait!
(Except I kind of have to.)
