I've been pretty down lately and I think it because my life has been so boring the last few weeks. It's just too normal, nothing exciting has really happened. It doesn't help that my husband is working so much. He works, reads a little, sleeps, and eats. He does do things with me on the weekends, but during the week life is a bore. I'm tired of my hobbies, and I'm ready for somethings new.

Maybe I need a pet. I've always loved cats, but my hubby isn't a cat person. He loves dogs, and I think they are stinky, loud, and destructive. When we got married he agreed not to get a dog until we have kids. We also agreed that when he gets a dog, I get a cat. Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a cat. It might give me something to mother. But then I realize that I don't want the responsibility of having to take care of an animal (or finding a pet-sitter when we travel or worrying about it destroying my yard).

Right now I guess I'll stick with having my plants. They are therapeutic. All they need is a little water, a little sun, some fertilizer, and occasional weeding...a little loving tender care.

Well, I stil haven't solved my problem yet. What can I do to spice up my life? Maybe I should just read a good book. I want to take my mind off of those things that fill my brain which are happening to me, but which I cannot change.

I'm so glad that spring is coming tomorrow. It will bring some welcome changes.
