I try not to be completely unreasonable. The disagreements between S and I are so few and far between (I think this was the second) that we don’t even know what each other’s fighting styles are. I tend to clam up. I gain a lot of perspective by writing, much more than by talking, when I can easily say things I don’t mean. Usually after some time alone I’m ready to forgive or apologize. Or both.
I spent last Tuesday in the Bronx with baby Z. Came home and forgave and forgot. Co-habitational bliss once more.
Z is 8 weeks tomorrow. He’s becoming more and more aware of his surroundings. He’s awake for longer periods throughout the day and sleeping longer and longer at night. This morning I went to his crib at 9am and found him staring with great interest at his mobile. I turned it on and he was fascinated by the music and movement.
Yesterday I took the subway into the city solo. It was the first time in months and months. Got a haircut. Actually, chopped about 10 inches off. It was damn liberating. Am also in the process of updating my resume and starting a hardcore job hunt. It’s been five years since I interviewed for a job and I’m excited. It’s nice to have something else on my plate besides dirty diapers.
Freedom + Love = Life
