Signs

I'm glad I've grown up enough not to get taken in by superstitious signs. There was a time in my teens and twenties when I was, and the past few days would have been unbearable had I still been as illogical. Over the past few days I've been reading Flight Behaviour by Barbara Kingsolver, which involves the main character questioning her marriage. Also, we've watched Friends with Benefits (the other option for the night was Forgetting Sarah Marshall) and Mr and Mrs Smith, all of which have something to do with dysfunctional relationships, people re-evaluating their being together or breaking up. Also, we saw a couple of episodes of Big Bang Theory about Penny being replaced by Priya, a smarter, hotter girl for Leonard. Instead of reading into these as signs for the future of my husband and my relationship, I'm focussing on enjoying my time off and being honest about sharing my affection for him. Things are going well for now, I think. I will admit, though, that it does scare me that I might think it's going better than he does. With that out there now, it's time for bed.
