My Life Is Where I Want To Be.
I like my life, did you know that? I really like my life. I am not rich, or wealthy, I am not even well off. I am not quite poor, but I hover just above it. Shasta is asleep on the couch in the living room, basking in the glow of our Christmas tree, Max sleeping by her legs under the blanket. She does not want to move, as it’s very nice to be in such light while the cold(at least by Arizona standards) air flows in through the open door.
I am sitting in the man room, in my big La-Z-Boy chair, fully reclined with the laptop in my lap. The light is on in here, not christmasy at all. I might decorate a little in here. I’m still wearing the pants I wore to church this morning. They’re very comfy, and I will likely be wearing them to work tomorrow. I’m going to be doing a 6AM to 8PM. In fact, I’d probably better call my manager to confirm that he will be able to make it that early. There. Left a message on his machine. it’s rather late. 10:20 PM. Hope he calls back tonight so I can secure a ride that early. he and I carpool.
This was a good Thanksgiving weekend. I wanted alone time this weekend, and wasn’t getting it, so I spent most of saturday in the man room playing Oblivion. It didn’t feel the same. I feel like I neglected my wife. She’s such a good woman. She deserves all of my time. She asked me to play board games with her tonight, but I had finals to turn in, one of which wasn’t even started. She didn’t mind, but she gets so bored stuck at home. She wants a job, but at the same time feels a strong apathy. It’s caused by the boredom and the lack of a schedule. Only a few months more, and the baby will be here. Then she’ll have a bit of a schedule, and more reason to get out of bed in the mornings.
I’m very excited about this baby. he’s going to be so fun. I’ve already been looking at little miniature La-Z-Boy chairs for him, so he can chill in the man room too. I wonder why I call it the man room? Shasta has a chair in here. Maybe it ought to be the den. Whatever it is, it’s a fun room to be in.
Time for bed. Goodnight, all!
