I came home last night to sick wife who was in need of the prescription that I had picked up. She has some kind of sinusitis. The worst part is I most likely gave it to her. Not directly, but I wanted to sleep with the window open on Friday night, and it got pretty cold. And she woke up congested and it’s just gotten worse. I hate that for her. She even stayed home from school today. And if you know Amy, you know that’s not like her
Not that she had the strength, but last night she noticed it’s already too dark to take a walk by the time I get home. She was right. Summer’s long nights are leaving and Winter’s long nights are approaching. I think I’m slightly affected by the shortened days. I’m torn because I love Fall, but I really miss waking up to sunlight and coming home to sunlight. I miss talking walks with my wife while the sun begins to set. Granted it’s only be a couple of weeks, but when Daylight Savings Time comes at the end of the month (I really hate this concept) I’ll lose the light an hour earlier. I’m not excited about this.
Not sure that I can blame it on the deficit of light, but I’m having a hard time balancing all that I need to do. It seems that my list of things I need and want to do just keeps getting longer and my desire to do those things (or perhaps “the discipline”) is lacking. I feel very behind and when the days get shorter somehow I feel like I have less time to do them. The only thing I really want to do is read (and bake) which is a great thing, but not when you have several other things to accomplish. It doesn’t help when you buy 4 new books in one weekend and you still haven’t finished the last stack of books you bought from the used bookstore in Evansville. If only, I could get paid to read and bake. Any jobs out there for that?
