- As we’re waking up this morning he pushes me aside a bit and says he thinks it’s my weight leaning on him when we’re in bed that is making his back hurt. He always says the nicest things. I’ll just add back pain to the long list of things that are my fault and for which I am currently doing penance.
- Ran pseudo-errands, since we’re still not going to the gym, and I spent too much money on perfume (Kiehl’s) and art books (The Art Book). If you can’t attain true happiness, then do your best to buy a semblance of it. Ha.
- Came home, had lunch and tackled my office. What a mess!! Didn’t finish but made some good headway.
- Afternoon snacks and then worked with Danny on his reading and writing. The San Carlos admissions test is coming up so soon!! Ack!!!
- Dinner, kids to bed, and then watched Birdman. Meh. Really strong acting but the story didn’t grab me.
And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth.
– Raymond Carver, A New Path To the Waterfall
