Is there a Geek in the house?
The Geek is in the house, all right. The dog house, to be specific. I’m finally starting to feel human again, a week after the Geek Things Incident. To his credit, he now knows that subjecting his recovering-from-a-cold wife to arctic temperatures for several hours at a time, after promising otherwise, is a Very. Bad. Idea.
A different brand of Geek things may be afoot for me in the upcoming weeks. I have a somewhat unexpected job interview Monday for a full-time job doing my own Geek things.
I’m torn. The job would be great for us financially. However, it would mean that the Bug would be in day care.
I know there’ s nothing wrong with day care. Kids do great in day care all the time. But the Bug has never experienced that, and she is very, very attached to her Mama, and especially to nursing. She’ll be ten months old this week and she’s never been away from me for more than a few hours a time. I’ve loved the time I have with her, and if finances would alow, I would have no qualms about staying home with her permanently. Unfortunately, the Geek and I live in the real world, and while we enjoy our Geek things, they don’t pay well enough to allow me to stay home without some serious quality-of-life sacrifices.
So, I continue to look for online Geek things and hope it all comes out in the end.
