Sometimes I wonder what I missed out on by never having lived alone. It seems like something every adult should do at some point, but then again I've never been one of those people who needs a lot of "alone time" so the experience might be more miserable than beneficial for me. Anyway, I get to thinking about the subject when I find myself home alone. Avery is at a conference in Vancouver this week so it's just me, the cat and the bump, fending for ourselves. Today I went to Kiki's for dinner and read an entire National Geographic magazine from cover to cover as I slowly enjoyed my hot and sour soup. On Wednesday I worked for eleven hours straight. Tonight I'm watching a movie Avery doesn't particularly enjoy, but that I really like. I'm enoying these little moments, and the flexibility of choosing my own insomnia-driven schedule, but in the spaces between I'm lonely. I miss my husband. I am also finding that without someone to laugh with, it's much easier to cry over things like my outrageously puffy feet. Living by my own rules is nice, but nice in the same way as going on a trip somewhere: it's new, it's fun, and no matter what it's just not home.
P.S. Jen, oh my gosh!!! Congratulations!!! I've been rooting for more St. Hilaire babies, so YAY :)
Hooray for a Zoglman blog!!!! So fun to hear your thoughts on life. Can't wait for more pictures, particularly of the newest addition to your family! And by the way, I showed you the picture of my ankle right before I had Owen didn't I? Yeah, you've got nuthin on that!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you win the scary pregnant lady feet competition. Mine are silly, but I can still walk.
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you! I'll call when it's "showtime" so you'll know we're off to have a baby.
