In addition to learning a new city and a new house, I’m learning how to be alone. I often do this by going places where I won’t be alone.
I visit the elementary school almost daily. Sometimes I just eat with Mark. I’m also helping one or two mornings a week with reading lessons and I love the kids and the window it gives me into Mark’s world.
I shop for fabric and furniture that I don’t purchase. I walk down aisles of picture frames, autumn decor, and dishes which I never put in my cart. I’ve tried on a lot of jeans that I don’t buy.
The other day I did buy a Utah counties puzzle because how can we live without that? I guess this shows that I’m still the same person who finds more enjoyment from educational material than fabric and more happiness teaching reading lessons than just about anything else.
