Hobbies

So this blog post comes more as a "story time" than anything else. No, I won't post pictures or recount some fun thing Ky and I did recently. As you can clearly see from the fact that I haven't posted anything since October 27th, my life is pretty uneventful. 

I just wanted to talk about hobbies. Ky is the youngest of 4 siblings and his closest sibling is 4 years older than him; therefore, for all intents and purposes he might as well have grown up as an only child. Due to this fact, he LOVES his "Ky time". He is a solitary creature for sure. I, on the other hand, have 4 siblings and one of them is a twin sister... needless to say, none of my siblings or I enjoy alone time and we always had someone around to entertain us. As you can imagine it's been an adjustment for us to balance time together and time alone. 

I personally think alone time is a joke. I don't need it now and I don't foresee a time when I will want it. Mothers are probably scoffing and laughing right now and saying "oh you naive fool, you'll definitely want alone time when your kids won't even let you use the bathroom by yourself". This may be true, but for the time being I don't see it happening. So, the other day I was complaining to Ky that he never likes to do things with me and he said "why don't you pick up a hobby?" to which I sat and pondered a long time. 

What falls under the category of hobby? For example, I love to clean. When I'm excessively happy, I clean. When I'm angry, I clean. When I'm bored, I clean. If you follow the pattern you'll notice that I just love to clean. So I proposed this idea to Ky as a hobby of mine to prove to him that I did have a hobby. He claimed it doesn't constitute a hobby since I can't advance in it or improve upon it. 

So using Ky's very closed definition of a hobby, what should I do? I dislike crafting, knitting, sewing, crocheting, etc. so I have no idea what to do. Basically I just want hanging out with Ky to be my hobby because it's the only thing I ever want to do. Maybe I should have a baby, I bet the baby would want to hang out with me. It seems like a pretty valid solution to me. 

IN OTHER NEWS... a few weeks ago I was admitted into the ER for intense abdominal pain. After blood work, sticking an IV in me, and performing a CT scan (or is it CAT? I don't actually know since I don't know what the acronym stands for), 3 hours later we found out I had gastrointestinitis. That means that I contracted a virus and it caused the swelling of both of my intestines. Yes, it was extremely painful therefore I got pain medicine. I felt so great after the pain medicine, I almost literally felt like I was walking on a cloud. Fortunately this was a one week ordeal. Unfortunately it happened the week of Thanksgiving. I only missed one day of class though, which I am grateful for. 

There you go folks. I don't blog for almost 2 months and then I blog a random, scatter-brained post about things you most likely don't care about. But, Ky urged me to make my blog my hobby so I decided to try it out. Perhaps if I officially deem it my hobby I'll write more often. Here's to dreaming.
