some sleet on sunday White pellets fell from the sky as I walked to my car this morning. Spring might officially start tomorow, but it felt like winter as I drove home. Besides the quasi snow in the air, cold winds further enhanced the illusion of winter. In fact the weather was so miserable I went to sleep knowing that I wasn't missing anything. While visiting my parents today I learned some interesting news. Through a round about way, my sister found out that my last girlfriend is pregnant, not by me of course. I didn't find that to be very surprising though. Actually I was shocked that it took her this long, because when we were together getting pregnant was her major goal in life. She wanted to have a baby more than anything else. It was an almost daily topic with her. Looking back now, I realize that leaving her was a very smart decision on my part. Even though I might complain from time to time about my life now, it is much better than when I was with her. If I had stayed with her, I think that I would seriously have started to loathe my entire existence. I also have to feel sorry for the poor guy that got her pregnant. Something tells me that it will not be an easy pregnancy, because she will be without her two major sources of stress relief for nine months. Every day after work it was a least two or three cans of beer blended together with some soothing cigarettes. Now those cherished habits will have to be abandoned and I imagine that she will do most of her venting on him. I also have this feeling that morning sickness will plague her for a long time. Then there is that small matter about her back, but none of this is my concern any more. My life is no longer intertwined with hers and for that I am grateful.
