I tend to think about only a handful of things these days:
1) work -- I've been traveling a lot or otherwise very busy
2) hoping Carole gets a job -- she's been unemployed since February
3) thinking about how badly I'd really like to clean our house and go through closets and throw things out that we really don't need, and giving surplus stuff that's just extraneous to needs to the local thrift shop or something, only I can't because I'm not actually home to do any of it
4) losing weight -- I have a goal to get down to 180 pounds by New Years and I have to stay ahead of my goal because next Thursday is, of course, Thanksgiving. Not that I plan to gorge -- but it's next to impossible to count calories at a restaurant where about the best you can do is guesstimate the portion sizes and pray they didn't use too much mayonnaise in the salads and stuff.
Pretty damn boring stuff, isn't it?
I can't really pontificate about any of those because it'd just come across as pointless kvetching. So instead I say nothing -- but I will add that I have absolutely no idea how people my age who have kids manage to balance work and life. It's damn hard as it is with just an unemployed spouse to try to keep active and motivated.
Bleargh.
