What Would I Do With a Whole day?

This is going to be one of those works in progress. i think it will probably come out a bit disjointed; no type of journalistic masterpiece. But that's not why I write here. I'm looking for answers I believe, can only be found by getting outside of my mind.

A good place to start is with activities I MUST do. First on that list would be exercise. With 24 hours I owe to no one but myself, I'd probably do this twice a day. Once being in the form of outdoor cardio, or just simply walking errands, and the other would be weight lifting. I would probably schedule a lifting workout daily, yes daily - going heavy - light - moderate, or some similar pattern, depending on what I was going for. I say schedule because there might be days of socialization or road trips or something that could interrupt the routine.

I may or may not decide to work for money. If I decide to do something to occupy my time it will probably be fitness oriented.

Another MUST will be to leave time for social activities, possibly even of a romantic nature. This will likely not be my choice, but I have to stay open to the possibility that at some point I will no longer want to be an antisocial loner. By that time I'll probably have my shish together to a point that I will actualy be good and beneficial company to someone. (I kind of am now, but not completely.)

I'm taking it for granted that chores must be done; all the maintenance that one needs to do to survive; eat, clean, etc. This doesn't take long and it can be social as well... or exercise.

I'll need to make time for pleasure too. I'm not really into that, though. I have been treating myself to massages for the past four or five years, so I'd have to make time for that also. I'd better make some friends.

With 24 hours a day to kill I might just have to start doing things I once considered a waste of time; like going to museums or art galleries. Oh, I did mention to myself that I'd take drawing lessons and, almost sarcastically talked about going to a Unitarian church; purely for socializing, and to find out who the heathens are.

While i do want to fill up the days, I don't want them so regimented that I run myself into a rut. I don't want people depending on me either. These days I come and go as I please, I don't want that to change.

Okay, so much for this fantasy. Those chores I mentioned earlier? Time to get some of them done - now.
