Here you go Heidi

Dear Heidi,

I'm updating my blog.

Love,
Tim

P.S. Here is the actual post:

I (re)drafted my fantasy hockey team tonight. It was magical. For the 433rd straight time, I have drafted Roberto Luongo as my number one pick. Lots of iffy moments in the middle, and pleasantly grabbed Michal Neuvirth with my last pick. Yadda yadda yadda, I expect to defend my championship title and go back-to-back this year.

What else? Well, I've been unemployed and living at home for the past month. I'm looking for jobs, of course, and aiming high. Specifically I'm trying to keep with what I had done this past summer and I want to get into media relations in the sporting world. Ideally I want to land a spot as a media relations manager/coordinator for a sports team. What sport? What team? It really doesn't matter. There are two really great sounding positions that I have applied for and still waiting to here back from.

I've been willing to go anywhere in the country, and I've been looking for anything. After traveling over the southeast region of the country this summer, I really enjoyed adventuring to places I had never been before. I am positive I will hold that same sort of enthusiasm for wherever I might end up, too.

Is it because I want to finally become a productive member of society and step foot into the real world? Probably. Or is it because I've been unemployed and living at home for the past month? A little bit of that.

What is great about being at home, though, is the time I get to spend with my nephew, Oscar. I didn't get to meet him until he was three months old AND I was away all summer, so I think I am making up for all of that time now. My sister definitely loves to have another set of helping hands here, and really enjoys that I get stuck changing poopy diapers.

Moving forward, I still haven't really unpacked a whole lot of my stuff here. It took me about 3 weeks to finally pick cloths out of a hamper and put them into a dresser. I still have cloths all over the floor, and a bunch of other things just laying in boxes. I think it might be because I am hopeful of getting a job and moving on soon, so I don't want to have to pack everything that I've unpacked.

As a result of that, I just revert back to my boring self and sit at my computer for a big chunk of the day. I might also be playing four or five different video games simultaneously. I might have been looking for a reason to bust out the word simultaneously. And spell it correctly.

I've also run out of worthwhile things to say right now, so I'll go back to watching late-night anime.
