Today’s Thoughts

There is a fair bit going on in my head today. Focus is lost on me so maybe I should just clear some things out:

In talking to a coworker yesterday I was asked if Twin would be cooking, and I confessed she actually wasn’t feeling well and I didn’t know. She was feeling nauseous and so the cowork shot out a dreaded question, "Is she pregnant?" while getting excited a little with a little clap. I quickly refused the idea though it did have me thinking. I touched on this a little while ago after bringing up dreams of her being pregnant – and maybe its those dreams that had me second guessing birth control pills. I told Twin about the interaction once I came home and she refuted the possibility with more enthusiasm than I did.

I was thinking though that I really need to get my act together, mostly in regard to my professional career. I have to commit to something and inaction is committing me to Accounting. I’m not sure its right. I couldn’t imagine being a contractor with a mouth to feed. Yes, I know we would make due… but why struggle when you don’t have to struggle? I also have the thought that Seattle is much to expensive to live and work in city limits, and for the best odds I might be willing to throw caution to the wind and try to find a place we could move to that is more affordable. Its either that, or sell my soul and try to do something that is fairly high paying around here with job growth – Information Technology or Software Programming.

I did determine both from what Twin said the other day and notes received yesterday that I’m not really going to worry about Easter with the clan coming up. The relationship we have with Twin’s parents and siblings is great and mature.

I’m pretty anxious for spring to start already. Monday was nice enough to ride home without a jacket on and no gloves which was fantastic. That should be a regular thing coming up here in a week or two. I should also be able to opt to hop in the kayak and tour the lake any night of the week. It feels like its been a long time since it was fairly warm outside. Our summer seems to already be pretty busy with an anniversary escape, a couple of camping trips, BGem’s wedding, Twin doing STP, in addition to some kayaking and cycling trips.

LG was diagnosed with MONOnucleosis yesterday. That caused some reflection by Twin and I and debating different things or sharing experiences from when we were dealing with that. What a terrible thing to get. I hope he just sleeps and does what he can while trying to finish up things to graduate HS. Unfortunately, his body and mind aren’t going to be the same after dealing with mono. I know I am not the same as I was before the summer of 2002 physiologically and I do somewhat pay the consequences for not taking care of my body.

I think that’s enough rambling for today.
