Summer and the living is [too] easy...

Ten hours. That's all I get. Rare but not unheard of, I have been a victim of sitting on the couch and watching TV series DVDs for that long. How am i supposed to live on a paycheck of ten hours a week? It seems near to impossible for me. Not only is this little money going to be hard to live off of, but I am trying to pay off old debt. How can I play catch up on a salary that is next to pocket change? The lack of money isn't the only issue at hand either, the pure BOREDOM doesn't help matters. My shift is at 730 and I am home by 1pm...What will I do with all my spare time? This may be an issue that some people would beg for, even pay money to get an opportunity at such an issue, but not me. I am wallowing in self pity and feeling like a failure. No this isn't my fault, but I can't help but feel like I need to be doing something VALUABLE with these endless hours of nothingness. So what now?

I could pick up a hobby....but most cost money. Money I can't afford to spend.

Watching daytime television is all well and good but it takes a tole on a person. I can literally feel my mind rotting away.

Reading? Yes, I have been doing that, but again, I can only do this for so long before I begin to go stir-crazy.

So I write this with intent for suggestions. Summer has always been a great time for me. Time for memories to be made, relaxing, reinventing myself, achieving goals, and I don't want this summer to be any different.
