Long Hours on Monday

Living with one car is complicated. I woke up early to get Maya going, and both Eric and Maya were awfully slow to get moving. Eric dropped me off before 8 so Maya could get to school by 8:15. I had a ten hour day, was not really in the mood to work so long, but I had no way to escape. Eric picked Maya up from school and got her to ballet, and picked me up much later.

I want to go out and buy another car, but we cannot afford anything at this time. So we have a motorcycle and a car, and will have to make do. I do most of the driving because I have the car, but it makes for much coordination and frequent moments of abandonment and days when I am stranded.

The day was warmer and sunnier than yesterday, but it still feels like winter is coming. I am ready to go away again. I am off to Peru in a few weeks, and am trying to plan for a Thanksgiving trip somewhere interesting. We will go to Canada for Christmas to see my parents (we love the snow!) and then it is a few months until summer vacation. It live my life from travel to trip to vacation to meeting to next adventure.
