Yes, it's true! I work, I ride, I run, I work, I work, I parent; I am constantly on the go anymore. With this in mind, it was great to have a break from the madness the last two evenings. My life or lack there of, depending on who is reading, comes with a price. The price is that you never get to associate with many friends and speak to others as if you are a normal human so your ability to communicate goes somewhat downhill:-)
So, when the offer to go out the last couple of days became available, I took it! Friday: Dinner and drinks, and then a late movie! Saturday: Movie on the cheap and dinner. Hell, Friday I even managed to stay out until the vampires were running the streets. They are a strange crew, let me tell you. I didn't even arrive home until 3 hours before my normal up time (OK, maybe not. Insomnia is my latest incarnation). Yesterday was a little different as it was just a matinee and dinner was at a friends so at least I didn't risk a bite.
All this fun has me thinking that I have a normal life. What's next? I sit here at the computer in the wee hours of the morning contemplating my next life altering experience. Maybe today I'll run before I ride. Maybe I'll call a friend and go flying for the first time in months. Maybe I'll take the dog to the dog park and watch the drool happen. Or, maybe I'll take a chance at something new. Maybe I'll register for the fourth of July midnight run I did a few years ago. Whatever is decided, I at least know that I can still make and keep friends that somehow think I am still sane. And, that my life is hard and fun and filled with whatever you can behold; in other words...normal:-)
