What good is a field on a fine summer night, when you sit all alone with the weeds?

So, another one of those days. I got a little bit done, I did some dishes and washed my dishbrushes in bleach, so they smell good and are germ free again. I ordered new food for the birds, stuff that's supposed to be a lot better for them than the big bags of birdseed I've been buying. And that's about the highlight of my day. Sad, isn't it?

Looking at our finances, we will probably be all right if I can't find another steady job in Chicago. It'll make moving harder, but on the other hand, I'll have a lot more free time to do it in. But I don't know how my sanity is going to hold up. I hate being alone in the house all day. With finals going on, there's not even anyone to talk to, and one can only surf the web randomly for so long. Even an expert like me. I should be doing more cleaning, and I've been trying to do a little every day, but I'm just bad at it.

Help me out here, guys. You're alone in a house for eight hours a day, seven days a week, for three months. No homework, no job. What would you do with the time? Difficulty: It cannot cost more than maybe five dollars a day, tops.
