I spot a black eraser on top of a low bookshelf, and pick it up to further inspect the packaging. It’s used for erasing charcoal, and I suddenly realize that I haven’t seen him drawing in a long time. I comment on it.
“You haven’t done any drawing lately.”
It’s more of a statement than a question.
“No,” he says. “This is going to sound lame, but by the time we’ve finished working out, cleaning up, and going out for some dinner, it’s already 9:00. Or later! The night is almost over and I just want to wind down and watch TV.”
It’s funny but true. I’m slightly worried about finding time this fall for my class (Advertising Design) when UHCL starts up again. One idea: get to work earlier, so I can leave work earlier, so the evenings are longer! Incredible.

You’re a genious. What a great idea!
The previous was a thoughtless comment but I’m just happy that I can finally comment on your blog. I have to put something.

I can relate on the time issues! I like to wind down for at least a little while in the evenings, but never seem to do it! BTW, thanks for posting the space shuttle info!

SOs. So time consuming. I accomplish so much more when I’m single. But, I think I’m happier with a bf most of the time.
Jen says
I think much of it has to do with your crazy training. I sure couldn’t keep up 6 days a week.
Me says
Yeah, I agree with you Jen. Six days a week is tough to keep up with! But it really makes Friday something to look forward to.
