I'm sitting in an office, getting the oil changed in my car. I'm suppose to be doing homework, but I'm counting this as my "break". I was thinking about how things have changed recently. Not for the worse and not for the better. Just changed.
My youngest is now in school. It used to be, when I would get the oil changed in my car, I would bring the stroller along and walk my daughter around the neighborhood while the car was worked on. We had just enough time to get fresh air and visit our favorite stores.
Some of our favorite stores are closed now. The Christian bookstore that I used to stop at and see if they had any "classic" christian CDs on sale is gone. (Yes, yes, I know. I'm old enough to concider my music "classic"). The toy store is gone. The fruit store is still there (not bad). The donut shop is still there (WOO HOO!!). Sorry, some foods take priority over other foods.
Now I sit, writing about my life and wondering if anyone is reading it. I'm not getting the fresh air or the fun with hanging out with my kid and no exercise at all, except for my fingers. Still, as long as I imaging people are reading this, at least I can say I'm touching base with my friends.
See, it's not change for the worse, or change for the better. It's just change.
Now I should get back to homework. I've put it off long enough. I avoid homework, when I can. See, there's one thing that hasn't changed since high school 25 years ago. So, sometimes, there's no change.
