Yesterday was kind of a bummer day for me. A cleaning team
came to clean my old condo, and they thought it was the messiest place they had
ever seen. Now I am not a neat freak, but surely I am not the messiest person
ever…? But that’s what got me down – maybe I am! Then a coworker gave me a
stern talking-to about my parking job. See, when the person I replaced retired,
she left me her parking spot under the building, which is wonderful because
Erin Caitlin O’Honda is protected from the elements. However, the parking
spaces under the building seem narrower than the ones in the lot, where I had
been parking, and I was right on the line. Technically I was still in my space,
but he had a point, that I hadn’t left him much room. So then I was feeling
really down, like I am the world’s worst housekeeper and car parker… and then
the cleaning crew said they found mold in my old condo, so now instead of just
getting it painted and recarpeted, I have to do something about that potential
health hazard. And here I’d thought the condo might be ready for sale by the
end of the month! Fortunately Slow Food was fun; one of the regulars brought
her husband, who is a retired professor of theater, and both Rich and Luxuli
were able to make it. Afterwards the three of us stopped briefly at a
coffeehouse, so I brought Travalon a cookie from there to apologize for
abandoning him for so long. Tonight I’m coming home late again because of Irish
class, so add Wife to the category of things I am subpar at. At least I am
better than average at learning Irish, or so they told me last week. But of
course I failed to study since then…

Oh come on, you're a terrific wife! You can't help it that you just enjoy and value socialization more than the average person (or your introvert husband, who may seem subpar at times this winter now that basketball season is here, I'll try not to be a fanatic and watch everything though, mainly can't miss our #3 Badgers) Sorry about your awful Monday, the freezing cold weather on top of it doesn't help. Keep your head up !!
To elaborate- I'm not always introverted, I really enjoy being around people and socialization to an extent, but also really value down time, quiet time and alone time. I am very, very thankful for all my new Madison friends. Good people!
