A three year old at the zoo…
I’m tired; ha ha. My daughter, my mother and I walked the zoo today and she had an excellent time. She got to pet the dog sharks, hear the sea lions bark, see the dolphin show, watch the walruses play and eat, and to see all the animals she loves to watch. I must admit I got a little misty with the dolphin show; I haven’t seen it since I was little and to be there with my daughter made me kind of miss those days, innocence? good times with my dad? worrying about memories for her? I dont know, but I had to control myself.
She’s growing up so fast. She spent last Saturday first, my family reunion, then at a wedding reception. She played and ran around on her own at the reunion and spent most of the time at the wedding reception dancing with anyone, everyone and no one. She had a blast with anyone who would join her and when they wouldn’t, she had a blast on her own. She was hilarious and everynow and then she reminds me of myself as a kid.
I have a couple more classes to take care of for college next spring and then I shall officially have my bachelor’s degree. I hate that I should have had it done by now but honestly I can’t blame myself too much for not being able to handle everything that has happened in the past year, especially not considering everything that has happened in my timespan in college. Loan payments will come due in November (unless they will defer until I finish my degree) and honestly I am dreading the job search in such a bad market.
All-in-all, apart from the need for a place of my own and a steady job, things are going well. Well, that is not accounting for the stressors which have become kind of standard for the time being. So it goes…
