Sick. Idiosyncratic. Cat scientist.

I'm thinking of pretending to get hip to y'all and get hootsuite or something so I can simultaneously post to all mediums (facebook twitter, instagram, etc.) when my blog is out. (does instagram even work that way? I heard it was for posting pictures. anyways) and maybe getting a new website, with wordpress or something that's a little more functional.

Anyhoo, not now. no time for it.

But I was just getting home from a weary Friday afternoon at work (especially weary since I'm exhausted from being on my feet working despite being sick enough that I should have ideally been resting in bed) and as I got home I thought of how I was going through a very similar skeleton of routine as the average male my age, but as a very different animal:

I get home from my demanding job as a Montessori preschool teacher
and think TGIF as I crack open a nice cool can of coconut water
and get ready to relax on my couch in front of a laptop playing some  Twitch "let's play" videos of "Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney".

OK, that's all I have for now. Really I just wanted to record the color-coded tidbit, but while I'm thinking of it, I just heard some juicy gossip that one of my friends who's been avoiding dating, has started. It's not a bad bit of gossip. For me, it just makes me happy. He's a really great guy, and people who know him, know it, so hopefully he will find a really great girl. And I know now that when that happens, it really is a cause for celebration. It does make life better. I just hope he has the right kind of high standards, and the right kind of "good enough" standards. There are some things that it's very important not to settle on, and other things that people think will be important, that don't matter, and often people ignore or devalue the important things and way over-value the unimportant ones.


OK, now it's Sunday night. So exhausted still. Just got the bare minimum chores done, laundry, basic cleaning, a few things that had to get prepared for today. It's frustrating because I need to be working super hard now, to get all my stuff done on time, but my brain isn't good for it, and my energy levels won't let me do very much before I get exhausted and need a nap.

Welp, that's this week. It's been pretty much all week. Not exciting or particularly positive, but some weeks are just like that. I'm gonna go to bed now and hope I get over the brain fog low energy part of it soon. Good night, see ya next week.

Oh, I'm house-sitting/cat-sitting at my girlfriends, and I'm discovering that it's fun to feed the cats. And give them love when they want it and I have time. I like getting to know them, they're good people. A few data points in my hypothesis that pets end up being reflections of their owners in large ways.
