Marriage and other musings

- Marriage has a strange "same same, but different kind of feel" about it. On the surface, nothing appears to have changed. We still spend most of our waking hours together. We still go out and do our own things, separately and together. I still crack the world's worst jokes (how could that have been changed by marriage? Well, I don't know but still one can hope, you know). But at some level, it feels nice that now everyone considers you as a unit (however, there will definitely be times when I'll rebel against this, I know!). And that the spouse's family takes you into confidence on personal things... You know what I mean?

Over the last few weeks, work has had its ups and downs. I now have weekly battles with my engineers to get products out on time, frustrating conversations with Government officers to get funding for our project, and get thrown a million things to handle on a day to day basis. Seriously, just when I think I have no work and I can rest for a bit, something comes straight at me with a mental deadline to match. But honestly, it's much more fun than I ever expected it to be.

Having a maid come in (even if it is only once a week) is a major life-changing event for me. The first week, I was depressed because I didn't know if it was okay to tell her that she missed cleaning a couple of corners (Gasp! What if I hurt her feelings!) Anyway, this is something I'm learning to live with, slowly but surely. Or so I think.
********************************
Hanging out with PixieFace for the 3 days before the wedding, even if we were really doing nothing of significance, made me realise just how much I miss her. And GuitarBoy strangely has transformed into an older brother kind of figure in my life - who'd have thought that would happen!
********************************
Over the last few days, I've been super cranky and jittery. I still haven't figured out why, but I think I'm getting closer to the answer. I know it has something to do with the fact that I feel weirdly lonely at times - it's a passing feeling, I know, but sometimes it persists for longer than it should. Maybe figuring this out will help me solve it, once and for all....
