I miss this thing
I love being married. I love being a father. (Oh yeah. That happened since last time I posted here.) But I hate not having time to myself anymore. I like going out and hanging out with people, but I'm also very much an introspective homebody. And there's so much I want to get done, and not enough hours in the day.
I wish I had time to read comics. To write comics. To watch movies, TV, anime, anything but the Adult Swim reruns I've seen a billion times and know I can half-pay attention to. To do yardwork. (OH MY GOD do I need to do yardwork. To go to concerts. To just throw on a CD and rock out around the house.
Instead, 5 days a week, I get up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, get the baby to bed, do...something or another for half an hour, tops, and then go to bed myself to start the whole cycle over again. Because of the lack of social interaction, weekends get over-planned and I'm over-tired and still nothing gets done.
Maybe it's starting to turn around. Thursday, I watched Spaceballs, because why not? This weekend, one of the biggest "Hey, you have to come hang out at our house!" weekends of the year, I have no plans. (It is going to be 100 degrees outside, though...sorry, yardwork, it ain't your weekend.) 3 days to settle in and get my sanity back.
I'm pretty stoked.
