Finished It
So, I finished Islands in the Stream tonight. It was a pretty good book. I’m going to have to read some other things by Ernest Hemmingway. He’s a great writer. I have two books left to read. The Winter of Our Discontent and Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Looking forward to them.
I practiced guitar a little bit today. It’s so hard to concentrate when the kids are with me, though. Kyra is always reaching in to try to turn the tuning keys, and Elijah is just pulling up on me, the amp, etc. and getting tangled in the cord. One of these days. I was thinking that, when Elijah is a year and half or so old, that maybe I could leave them with their grandmother while I take actual lessons. See, with Chris’ odd schedule, it’s hard to do anything regular, like guitar lessons. I can’t count on him to be able to watch the kids, and I’m very leery about leaving them with anyone. I don’t trust anyone. Sounds bad, but I’m just being honest. So, anyway, I’ll continue to muddle along without a lot of progress until then.
It’s raining like crazy. It has been pouring all day. I truly mean all day. I had to go get some groceries today, and I got soaked. I had water inside all of the grocery bags. Better to go when Chris is here and get soaked, then wait till it’s not raining and have to take the kids with me. They’re pretty good, but just the logistics of it all is hard.
I think most of my Christmas spirit has left me for now. I can’t get out from under the big black cloud that took up residence over my head around Thanksgiving. It’s really got me all bent out of shape. Maybe it will go away soon. Or maybe not. Who knows.
Well, well. I guess that’s it. Aren’t you glad you stopped by?
