The opposite of yippee
Humankind cannot stand very much reality. T. S. Eliot (1888 – 1965)
We definitely can’t stand much reality right now. Because reality sucks. I’ve been spending most of my free time in Velgarth or assorted fictional Japans. The mister spends nearly all of his time in the World of Warcraft. Noodle Girl, being four, always lives in her own little world populated with talking animals and a variety of magical artifacts.
I feel like all the escapism is creating distance between the mister and me. Maybe it was there all along, and I just didn’t notice it before. Either way, it worries me. Hopefully I’m just being paranoid, though.
I’ve been cooking from scratch again. I don’t really like cooking at all, but ingredients are cheaper than prepared foods. Since two of the world’s pickiest eaters live with me, it’s tricky to find things that at least one of them will eat. I did, however, score the easiest, most addictive fudge recipe while wandering the internet. We’ve eaten two and a half batches already.
One good thing: our taxes were done months ago. No April 15 rushing around for us!
