an evening.

planet earth just doesn’t seem quite as impressive on my 12 inch TV screen.

 

okay, we’ll just say it’s humbling.  i’m not yet at the point in my life where i could possibly fathom buying a bigger TV…let alone replacing this one in the event something happens to it.  Oh my goodness, I hate to say that I’m somehow addicted to the television, but sometimes you just need the combination of sounds and pictures to not feel lonely if it’s a lonely kind of evening.  Don’t get me wrong, I love to read, but just not all the time.

 

i’m sitting here in robert’s old baseball shirt (last name on the back, sleeves cut off to show manly high school muscles…in my case i wear something under it seeing as there are no muscles worthy of displaying and it’s quite breezy) drinking a glass of wine after a pretty long night at work.  had another 8:40 table come in…(we close at 9:00)  for some reason those tables are never mine, so I always end up standing around.  i will NEVER understand why people–and hoenstly, I’m going to say 25 percent of people–don’t understand that restaurants close and people are not waiting around for their health.  i mean, i would NEVER come into a place when I see it’s going to close in 20 minutes.  i’m sure my bosses appreciate the business, but it just kind of seems like those people feel entitled.  it’s my hope to raise children who are aware of those around them.  empathetic?  that’s the word, I think.  Just aware and caring, that’s all i ask.  i’ve met some pretty inconsiderate people my age and it’s got to be a lot about the parenting and the school environment.  i’m just guessing, though.

 

going to be a pretty long week here.  i work a lot, robert has a lot of school work, he has choir tour this weekend and so no weekend sleepover  it’ll be okay though.  i just need to consider how much less i would have seen him in the event that i hadn’t moved.  moving was such a good choice.  taking a year off was such a good choice.  being with him was an IMPECCABLE choice

 

anyway i believe i should probably stop all this cognitive function for a while.  i’ll try to write more frequently but i’m not making promises
