Free Time Isn't Free
For the last year it seems that every step I take moves me closer to full-fledged adulthood. The biggest sign of this came this morning.Baby woke up around 4am, crying up a storm. The wife gave her some formula and she soon was asleep again, ...but I was not. So, around 5am I got up. Normally I would watch TV or surf the web, which is what I started to do, ...but something kept nagging me.
It was my responsibilities. All I could think about was how I could be measuring the windows, wrapping the pipes in the basement, moving more boxes, putting the dimmer switch in the dining room, etc, etc.
This is anathema to my most natural instincts. Friends know that I am somewhat of a lazy guy (my Mexican genes), and that I'd rather goof off online, play video games, sleep, or watch TV then doing anything constructive.
That's all changing, and not due to any will on my part. At this rate I'll be Ward Cleaver by the end of the month.
