What is normal?
This past weekend was Spring Barrel tasting for all the wineries. I had an amazing time with my husband, his cousin Nancy, and a couple from Seattle. We started at 11 and tasted wine from different wineries until 5. It’s so nice to hang out with intelligent, funny, and easy-to-get-along-with people. Being in this small town gets you a bit depressed, as there are not a lot of people here that are cultured or smart enough to talk to on a level that we are used to. I think that Dan and I need that feeling of normalcy hanging around others that aren’t from Hicksville. It was a great weekend, and I feel enormously lucky to have gone to my first barrel tasting with good friends and the man that I love more than life itself.
Other than that, my days have been good in a round about way. I have applied for some managerial positions, and actually have an interview on Thursday. I guess it is high time that I get a normal job with normal hours, which pays on a NORMAL schedule! It’s been so long living on commission alone, that it will be a nice to get money routinely. But, alas, we will see. I haven’t got anything yet.
So here is a thought to ponder. What is normal? Your job, your friends, or you. To me, normal is a feeling of comfort. A sensation that everything is peaceful or at least in the right realm of where you should be. It is so uncharacteristic of me because I have never been one to WANT to feel normal. I have always teetered on the abnormal side. Granted I am still slightly strange and still play for the “eccentric” team. But I wouldn’t have it any other way. I feel that some things in life should feel “normal”. My job, my friends, me. Everything else is completely weird and wonderful all at the same time.
