a simple life

for the most part, my life is very simple, uncomplicated. my days are much the same; they only tend to vary on weekends. savannah and i have a fairly regular schedule of things. and, there are very few new or different things that happen here from day to day.

usually, i don't mind that. mundane is the norm here, and it doesn't bother me as much as other people might think, or even as much as i might have thought a year and half ago, when i was suddenly home and not working anymore.

little things make me happier now than they ever have in my life. and, i've really learned to appreciate that more. i get excited, really excited when savannah does something new... or if wallace does something sweet for me.

yesterday, he bought me a book, while stopping at the store, on the way home from work. and, i was really touched by the gesture. like i said, it doesn't take much for me these days.

but, i like it. i like my quiet simple days here at home. i also like times like this, when savannah has managed to go down quietly for a nap, a little earlier than usual. and, i'm here at the computer, putting off other things i should be doing. and, i have the headphones on, and some music turned up loudly, dancing a little bit here in my big padded desk chair.

what a fun, easy-going life i have... it's very cool.
