Syndicate this site's blogWhat did you do today?
Here’s what I did today: walked down the driveway, along the road about 20 yards and collected the mail from the box.
That’s it.
I also changed Fionnuala a few times, and burped her a few times, made lunch and watched some bad daytime TV, but that’s really stretching it.
And with Buendia here too that’s pretty much the sum total of all our efforts, since about 7am this morning.
Change of pace
I’m not entirely sure what happened to all those hours, but for two people so used to be reasonably productive, this is quite a change.
Consider the last three years. In that time, either together or apart, we’ve:
- met in Italy
- carried on an intra-continental relationship
- got engaged
- published two books and all but written a third
- cycled 2000 miles down the Mississippi
- moved to live in another country twice
- started two businesses
- got married
- been pregnant, and had a baby
And now the six-pound mistress of the house thwarts us in our modest plan to all head into town and eat ice-cream on the Plaza.
And the weird thing is, we don’t really care.
