Long Time

It's been a long time since I wrote. I don't know if it's just laziness or if nothing interesting happens to me anymore. I think it's really more of the second--nothing interesting has been happening lately.

Let's see. I shampooed the carpets Friday night, and repainted the dining room Saturday night. I did about fiftythousand loads of laundry. Tom and I "broke in" to a few homes for sale last week. That's been one of our hobbies for years now. If the house is for sale, and nobody lives in it, and the garage door can be opened, and the door to the kitchen is unlocked, well, they're just begging for us to come in, aren't they? Wandered around one really lovely home on 12 acres of pasture and woods. Just lovely. But it's $350,000 so I don't think we'll be buying it anytime soon.

Here's some news, I guess. Tom and I are trying to have a baby. I know nobody wants to envision the two of us having sex, and I'm sorry that that image inevitably accompanies the baby-making news. Hell, even WE don't want to think about us having sex. Zoloft (Tom) and Paxil (Me) really sap the sex drive. We wonder, What's the big deal with sex? Why do people want to Do It all the time? We have it scheduled, on the calendar, and neither of us are ever in the mood. But, unfortunately, the only way to get pregnant is to screw. Sigh. If we ever do manage to have children, I know what drugs I'm putting them on when they hit their teens--the "What's the Big Deal About Sex?" drugs, Zoloft and Paxil.

Sigh. That's it. Back to rolling around my office in my new chair, fiddling about with student papers.
