I have too short an attention span and get bored easily&#8230; so I tend to try everything and accomplish very little. I get bored randomly and just can&#8217;t be bothered with sitting there very long. But a hobby was needed, so I reactivated World of Warcraft to putz around. I think it&#8217;s one of the only times I may be very <i>happy<\/i> to be addicted to a game. It doesn&#8217;t involve babies at <i>all<\/i>. It is something to immerse myself in, to be mindless and obsessed with, that is completely and utterly separate from my state of pregnancy (or un-pregnancy), infertility, or parenthood. And I am thankful.<\/p>\n<p>Of course getting invoved in things like this do lead to the inevitable &#8220;waking up&#8221; moment when I suddenly my brain looks around and remembers everything that&#8217;s happened this past year. As if I had forgotten for all of 5 minutes. But at least those rememberances don&#8217;t hit me like a ton of bricks&#8230; just a sinking of my spirits, like a huge weight is being re-applied.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t emotionally afford to think about Devin all the time&#8230; thinking about him is so overwhelming. Not just that the feelings are so strong, but there&#8217;s so many of them I don&#8217;t even know <i>what<\/i> I think. There are regrets and fears and hopes and anger and hopelessness&#8230; and that&#8217;s just in the first three seconds. It&#8217;s exhausting. If I could just feel one thing at a time it would be much easier to handle.<\/p>\n<p>I would write more tonight, but I spent too much time in the game and now I&#8217;m just too tired to write.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband is far more of a gamer than I am.
