So, all in all, the weekend went well. It really is amazing how much my husband enjoys visiting my parents. No resentment at all about spending his weekend driving 4 hours each way to see them. So that is good. But now that I'm home, I'm ready for a weekend. This is the good part of unemployment, I guess.
Anyway, sometimes you find good quotes in unusual places. I'm reading a light-hearted book called "Gods Behaving Badly" it's about what the Greek gods are doing now that they've fallen on hard times as no one believes in them anymore. So, they are living in squalor in London, and discussing the good old days and how things have changed.
Artemis says to Eros, "It's all right for you, people still fall in love. You've still got a reason to live." And Eros answers,
"I don't know about that, I don't think people are that keen on love anymore - real love, the complicated stuff. They like romance and sex - sorry - and when that runs out it all looks a bit too much like responsibility and then they quit."
