Having no home makes the situation interesting

If I had a home I would be there now.
Showering.
Preparing for the day.
Cooking up some breakfast.
Playing a record in the background.
Cleaning.
Washing clothes.
Ironing.
So mundane! the tasks of having a home. Yet its the mundane things that take up so much of our time. Having a home would take up my entire Sunday morning. There'd be just enough time to doll myself up and head to work, where I would end my day, head home, rinse and repeat. Instead I am here. Exactly where I am with the full day ahead of me. No carpet to vacuum, no counters to wipe down, no four walls to call home. Sometimes I get struck with that scary question of "what do i do???". What do I do with my morning? What do I do with my LIFE??? What a spiral. I am here now. I have the gift of not having to worry about the mundane things right now. I have the gift of eternal time and freedom. What won't I do today???
