the economy of attention

In my endevors to meet finicial goals that I am neglecting the economy of attention. I have neither the time nor the energy left for it at the end of the day.

Long Time Running

Wow, it's been a long time since I've done this. It's been ages since I've stayed on my computer looking for things to do, hoping that if I sit online long enough that "The Other" will get online and talk with me.

I'm past the point of hoping to get together tonight. I'm past the point of expecting any communication, and yet I find that I stick around checking websites that I don't need to check and only have a very vague desire to check. I know I'm waiting around on the off chance he'll get on.

"The One" and I have been very busy lately, we are both working more hours in a week than we should, and spending our spare time adoring our only child (who is definitely starting to have symptoms of being an only child) I would like to do something to show my adoring "The One" how much I appreciate his hard work, but by the time I'm done with mine and crawl into bed I'm generally too tired to do much more than notice that he is there. When things slow down a bit (say mid September) perhaps I'll take time to do something slightly over the topish to show him how I feel.
