I finally got to get out of the house, on a brisk fall morning. I found out there is a toddler library hour and even though Maya is only 9 weeks, I wasn’t going to miss it. I need to see people, after one month stranded in the big, red house. I need intelligent conversation, camaraderie, some good laughs… I’ve always thought of myself as solitary, but I must now admit that this is just too much. I need to talk and listen to others share their stories.
Library hour was quite fun. I met a couple of friendly mothers that I’d love to become friends with. I have to make sure to show up again next week to make connections. Maya actually seems to enjoy it. She didn’t even cry for the whole time, and simply looked around and listened to songs attentively. So cute.
Fall is beautiful in the Hudson Valley. The leaves are starting to turn and I’m in awe. Perhaps once I make new friends and learn how to drive, I’ll be glad I moved here.
