There's a reason we don't have children. It's hard to even take care of a puppy. She's so very sweet and truly loves us, and that's rewarding. But that alone time we used to enjoy? Non-existent now. Not sure how old she has to be before she's no longer a baby...
It's the time factor that makes things hard. We simply can't leave her in the crate all day and all evening, so we can't go out to dinner. She's too young to take out somewhere. Sigh.
I am not complaining about having her, really. It's just a big adjustment, and we have always REALLY loved our alone time. No-one to have to talk to, just quietness. Our own comfortable routine. The ability to go somewhere whenever we like. Now we're tied to home, and it's a change.
I am bored with school. Some of the topics are interesting, yes. But it's just so drawn out. Did I make a mistake in deciding to go to graduate school? I don't think so. I think if I wait until I am older, I won't go. This is the best time, and I am lucky to be in a prestigious program that I can do from home and at a good price. I am just a little bored.
The weather is so gorgeous here right now. Not hot, not cold, just cool outside. Beautiful clear skies and changing leaves. It's my favorite time of year, and I feel like I'm not outside in this enough.
I am not feeling so excited for Halloween this year. I welcome the thought of curling up with a good scary book (or maybe just Harry Potter), some cider, and some candle-light. Can't be bothered to do the costume and party thing this year.
I don't have enough tradition in my life. I see other people who have true holiday traditions that they can always count on and always look forward to. We never really know what we're doing for any holiday. If we ever do have children, I hope we can establish some special yearly things to always look forward to (and I don't mean gifts, I mean actually doing things together).
Having a blah week, I guess.
