The Weekend & The Future
Well, Friday is finally here. Oh, sure, there's still a full work-day to get through, but it's indeed Friday. DrummerWife and I have a weekend of catching up on laundry, throwing away excess crap that we've amassed, and looking at an apartment or two ahead of us. Should be a blast.
Also, tonight is what we lovingly refer to as "Nerd Night." It's the monthly meeting of my gaming group. DrummerWife started calling it Nerd Night, and me "King Nerd", about a year ago. Then, she started playing. Now, she's Queen Nerd. (Does that make DrummerBaby Prince or Princess Nerd?) The group's playing at our place tonight (we rotate homes), and I know this is going to be a looooong day at work. I really enjoy Nerd Night and the Fridays before we play just seem to drag. It's a cheap, fun way to get together with friends, and spend a few hours in true escapism. For those who are wondering - yes, we play D&D, and no, it's not weird or strange. Think of it as a giant Choose Your Own Adventure story set in Middle Earth (Lord of the Rings). I'm the "DM" (Dungeon Master) but I prefer the term GM (or Game Master). GM just sounds less high school to me.
Last but not least, as DrummerWife and I settle into the routine of looking for a new home, and visiting the doctors over the next few months, I see this little journal project turning more into "life with the DrummerFamily, and all it's odd foibles" and less into "OMG THERE'S A BABY ON THE WAY." Oh, there will still be plenty of baby-related posts (how can there NOT be?), but I think that DrummerWife and I are becoming more and more comfortable with this whole expectant-parent thing, and until the baby is born, there's just so many times I can say "we went to the doctor again." Or, "we looked at another apartment and it sucked," you know?
