Yesterday as we sat watching sailboats on the docks it struck me how much we needed this, to be three together and to be doing nothing.
Two weeks ago Rob started a new job: he loves it, we love it and we especially love that he loves it. But after a year of him coming home and scooping up Frances at one in the afternoon, this new job’s new schedule – where he heads out the door at one – has taken (and is still taking) some getting used to. Technically there are still twenty-four hours in a day and he’s still at work for the same number of them, but it feels somehow like we see him a lot less.
As the weeks go by I know we’ll perfect our new groove and find ways for everyone to get done what they need to do. More importantly though we’ll find new ways for everyone to do nothing. We'll track down more minutes and hours in our days and weeks to go for walks and watch boats and drive out to the sea. You know, just to make sure its still there.
