New leaf; old rot

There was a time when I vowed never to blog while I was at work, but I guess those days are long gone. I also said I wouldn’t conduct any personal business online or spend any time indulging in my hobbies or interests when I was being paid to do something else, and that seems to have fallen by the wayside as well. The approach of middle age seems to have brought about a change in my attitude. Or maybe it’s being married that’s caused it all. Lots of other things seem to have altered since our wedding day, so marriage may as well get the blame for this as well. 
Our lives do seem to be a bit boring now compared to our time pre-nuptials. We moved house a lot and I had unusual shift patterns so we always made the most of our time together. Now we have our own place and I work regular hours and we seem to have fallen into a pattern. We’ve become ‘those people’ - married, stuck-in-their-ways, stuck-in-a-rut couples who become less exciting and more miserable as they amble day-by-day towards a time when they hate each other.  Or maybe I’m just a grumpy sod today and by this time tomorrow everything will seem wonderful.
