Going out

When we go away somewhere, whether it's to someone's house or out for dinner I find myself really drained afterwards.

When we are at home I know what Lance can get up to and where he usually goes when he sneaks off. I can predict the outcome of most situations because we have been there and done that before.

But when he realises he's in a new setting with lots of new stuff to discover it's game on. Everything needs to be looked at by picking it up or poking at it. Every new floor area needs a test run. Every knob or handle leads to something else. Everything is new and exciting and all of a sudden energy comes from nowhere. Where's my energy? To keep up with him I could use some of that.

It's really nice and needed to get out and enjoy life and meeting up with people, but sometimes I do weigh up the pros and cons. After that I can decide if I have enough energy and patience to leave the house. Besides I usually never get to actually have a conversation anyway. All I do is try to make sure Lance is ok and not breaking things.

One day I will have an adult conversation again!
