Oh the boredom

It is easy to feel lonely when the weather is grey and foggy in the Bay Area. Everything is geared towards the outside, which implies good weather and this is an anomaly since we never really have very good weather here.
So what do you do when the temperature is hitting freezing and the cold wind is biting your cheeks? Well, playgrounds are out. So is the Discovery Museum and the beach.
And I still haven't signed Leo up for any activities. Or rather, I have, but only for the days he is with his babysitter, since smart-arse over here thought how nice it would be to spend my free days with him without the added stress of scheduled commitments. How nice it would be to just be spontaneous and hang out.
I just happened to forget about the weather. hanging out is not the same if you do it indoors. You soon grow out of your space. Restlessness tend to set in.

And the few friends I have who have kids Leo's age? Well, they were smart. They scheduled activities down to the very last pottery class. Right now they are busy ferrying their sprogs from one place to another. A spontaneous coffee has to be scheduled at least two weeks in advanced.

It's only 11.30. Four hours to go before pick up time at school. And we need to buy bread. That is an added half hour. Maybe we could go pick up deodorant and shampoo form Walgreen's there's another half hour. What am I complaining about - this day will fly by!
