Just thinking.
I am SO GLAD that the year I was 27 is over. SO VERY GLAD. I need to never have a year in which I give birth and end a 6+ year long relationship to move out on my own ever again. I am ready for a new year! I am ready for 28! Things that I am looking forward to most at the moment:
- taking the driving lessons I got for my birthday and getting that much closer to independence from public transport
- using the liquidizer for purposes both good and EVIL
- training for and completing Broloppet (yes, I am having an INSANE moment right now). Having talked to Mark, Ian, and anyone who has the patience to listen I have decided it's for the best to get over my guilt at not feeling guilty and spend weekend mornings without L. Until now it's been only one or a couple of hours most Saturdays, Sundays I've come over and sat there looking after her while Mark does whatever Mark does and alledgedly enjoys just having her around (I know, I can understand this but... ugh not much fun for either L or me). Having a morning routine that doesn't change on weekends is not going to be something L minds now, is it? What I know is that the 1 or 2 hours here and there that I have not been at work and not been looking after L have felt incredibly long and boosted my mood all out of proportion to what I've actually got up to. Some time and some more exercise WILL make me healthier and therefore more likely to be a happier mother. We'll see how it goes but we've agreed it won't hurt to trial it.
