Ugh.... tired... er, tired but childfree.
Jul. 13th, 2003 09:02 pmSo on Friday I went to TKD against my better judgement. Yesterday I woke up with grand plans to do the same, but my body quickly informed me that no such thing was happening. So I dragged myself out to the couch and lay unmoving for 3 hours while I finished reading The Dispossessed, then went yipes! and scurried to get on the commuter rail to Sharon and my dress fitting. That was fun, as I now have hope that I won't be showing the guests more of me than they'll enjoy seeing, and the dress really looks great; and I got to go to a neat fabric store where we got a pre-made (but not pre-attached-to-anything) veil that matches the dress. Mmm, pretty... must go to bead store soon to buy sparklies for the veil. Dinner, home, join rather furious web discussion of The Dispossessed, sleep.
Today I feel much less zonked, though my hamstrings still hurt from last Wednesday. Who took out my muscles and gave me gummi worms, huh? Actually, this still feels better than it used to after too many wheel kicks, so I can't say there hasn't been progress. I couldn't do much in the way of SLDLs when I lifted today, though.
If anyone wants food for thought... I finished The Skeptical Environmentalist today and I thought I'd be writing up that review, but what I really ended up writing was the "why I'm childfree" story I promised to the nokidding.net guy. I guess I felt like doing it, not least because I feel I'm done thinking about the issue for now. Doing the promised write-up was sort of the last thing I wanted to do before dropping it for a long time, although I can still understand why something about all my friends' babies, and missing a pill, and all of HLM's friends not having babies, stirred it up from the bottom of my brain pan. So, here it is, and feel free to comment. ( Why soyfetus doesn't want kids--the long version. ) I suppose I'll catch hell for the "6-lb parasite" bit, but... that's a part of how I feel, and brutal honesty is part of this. I'd be curious to hear what you guys think about the kids issue--![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bluechromis is the only one I even have a clue about, but all of us are at an age (if not necessarily in a position) to be thinking about it, no?
