My grandfather passed away Sunday morning.
He was over 100 years old, and we've been missing him for some time since he's not been mentally present for many years. It was time.
Even so, I find myself a bit melancholy, and reflective.
Where I am
I'm in an odd place in life. maybe it's just today, maybe its been there for a while and I haven't noticed.
Listless, aimless, directionless. No longer really enjoying my entertainment diversions. Just trudging along doing what needs to be done, and yet nagged by the feeling that I'm either forgetting something, or completely unprepared for something.
Employment...
So I've found gainful employment...
Let me tell you, its a huge lifestyle change... but it coincides with the girls getting back to school... so I'd be missing them anyway.
But man, its cutting into my housework, yardwork, website, world of warcraft time!!! (not necessarily in that order)
How does being UN-employed make you so busy?
Wow, looking at the counter on this site, it says I've been unemployed for 128 days. That's crazy. I don't know if its fully accurate in that I've been doing a lot of freelance type work, but I have been without a full-time salaried position during that time. now that I take a breath, I am amazed at all the things that i don't know how they got done while I was working full-time, and appreciate the miracle that is my wife all the more every moment.
Wow Addiction hits home!
*hangs head in shame*
I never thought I'd be in this situation.
I never thought I'd be the one to ... need to leave.
I'm not weak! I'm not!
I just can't live like this!
But I can't abandon her to this life alone!
My wife is addicted to World of Warcraft, and I can't stomach playing for 10 hours a day anymore.
