Cat nap trap

I have a cat sleeping in my lap, so though I want to get on with my day, doing my morning run and finishing my meditations, I thought I'd get done what I could, while trapped in this cuddle puddle. I sometimes think of my interactions with my cats as a minor preparation for being a parent, making sure my kids get quality connection time with me on the regular.

That includes a blog entry (hopefully a second one will be on the way soon.)

Things I'm doing: enjoying winter break, woohoo! It's time. Yesterday was almost entirely me and my wife playing and having fun together. We did some lego's, played some games, both analog and digital, made a cozy fire, cuddled, made brunch, went for a walk in the winter weather, and generally had a cozy great time. Today, I'm trying to finish up my weekly review (which doesn't always happen every week, like this last week, so it can end up taking a bit longer) and try to finish planning for another cozy but more logistically complex get together with some friends. Once that's on track, I get to think a bit more about what I want to do during this blessed free time. I'd really like to get my house in order. not super tidy, but at least 80-20 things so everything has a home, which will make it much easier to put things away, and, if it's all in containers, easier to clean things (rather than having to move a bunch of individual items to vacuum or wipe down somewhere, I can just move a few boxes.)

Aside from that, there are a few general maintenance and life admin things, and then maybe a bit of discretionary reading/learning, as time allows. And of course, spending time with my wife especially (more of yesterday's goodness) and with friends. That's rather a lot, so I'm hoping to get clear on the most important things, so I do those first, since I don't expect to get to all of it.

Anyhoo, today I'm likely going to help my friend try and fix his very drafty house, so I should get on with things, ending this post and shifting Reiko off my lap.

With love and warmth,
