mental forks

i just finished my first crocheted tomato. i think it's a little too red. but what can you do?! i was trying to use yarn i already had. i suppose tomatoes come in a variety of shades.

it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster today as i thought more about my future career. i find decisions about the future hard because it's impossible to predict undesirable external factors. i actually found the decision to have a baby EXTREMELY difficult. i knew i wanted to have a baby someday. and brendan and i discussed it at length. we were in agreement about having kids. but i was all torn up about when was the right time to start trying. brendan was more like "whatever", but i was constantly thinking "what if [THIS], what if [THAT]". and in hindsight, the timing worked out great. but at the time i actually felt it would be easier to deal with an unexpected pregnancy than to have to own that decision for myself. there have been times that i've hoped that someday i'll get laid off because at least then i wouldn't have to decide for myself.

i don't know why i've been thinking about this so much lately, but i suspect the fact that brendan started a new job today plays a role. if he still wasn't working i'd accept my lot in life much easier. plus, we seem to take turns working :p
