Oh why Cubbies, why?

The Cubs. What can I say?They struggle and rise to the occasion to win the NL central in a heated race that lasted for weeks against the Brewers . . . only to be swept by the Diamond Backs. I cannot discuss it, only accept it and move on. “Next year.”

Limbo

The past few days I have been attempting to keep myself busy by obsessively cleaning, taking Walter on as many walks as he can stand, and worrying about selling the house. Shawn is already in Madison, working hard and worrying too much about if he is doing a good job. He is honestly the hardest working man I know and wish that he could relax for a moment to realize how fantastic he is doing.

Meanwhile, I have too much time on my hands. I need to do something. I feel like I am in limbo. Finished with Columbus, but not quite ready for Madison. I want to be able to get on with it already. I have all these great ideas about some art that I want to start on, but feel that I can’t get going on them until I am settled. Besides, it might mess up my immaculate house.

Maybe this feeling is also that I haven’t really had any connection with people since Shawn is gone. I mean I LOVE Walter, but the fuzzy guy is not a great conversationalist. I am supposed to go over to Dave and Christi’s house to watch the OSU game tonight, maybe that will help. We’ll see.

Getting Started

Starting this is something that has been in the back of my mind for a while, but I haven’t had the opportunity to get going on it until now. Crazy, since things are so busy with selling the house in Columbus and figuring out how we are going to start our life in Madison. I am thinking that maybe this will help things get more into focus. We’ll see what happens. . . .
