So What’s New?
I’m hanging out at my local grocery store with my laptop and doing some story cleanup.
The kids are back in school.
The fires are still raging all over and our air is still bad.
I still feel overwhelmed and in the need of a vacation.
wa wa wa…
Suck it up ya crybaby.
My father came to visit a few days ago [ and with him not being biased in any way 😉 ] asked if I ever get time off? I said when the time is right I will take some time off but now isn’t the right time.
He then said, “Your wife does these day trips, why don’t you?”
My answer was, “It’s because my days off are Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday and with her working full time, my weekends are mostly spent tending to kids issues with getting to school, picking them up again, and then transporting them around between different activities after school. Yeah, I get about 4 hours in the middle but that often ends up being errand/honey-do time. My wife is working during this time and isn’t able.”
The fact that we have 2+2 kids isn’t helping any either 😛
Do you know I walk alone to a grocery store with my laptop? So I can be alone. Now, if only I could find some way of taking a nap as well…
I used to do that, in my car at least. When the weather is less nasty/hot/smokey, I would arrive an hour before needing to pick up a kid and lean the seat back in my car and catch some Z’s. It’s finally September so the weather is going to start cooling soon. I even have a few blankets stashed in my car for these occasions.
On the store’s music system playing right now is the song 867-5308/Jenny. Yes, I’m smiling.
I’m still looking into doing one of those Amtrak trips to Washington DC all by myself.
The thought of being left alone and taking a nap is… is… divine?
Okay, that’s enough of that Dave.
Not much is new.
Still chugging away at my story.
Trying to not let myself get discouraged.
Doing my best not to let go of that dental floss string of sanity in my mind.
I love that guy. Mark is a truly decent human being. He is, in my opinion, an anti-DWIGHT.
Tootles all
