In My PJs
I was super lazy today. I’ve pretty much had the place to myself, which really only happens on Saturdays, so I never left my pajamas. I also took a ridiculously long nap this afternoon. It makes me a little curious about how I’d behave if I lived alone, heh. It seems that if I don’t get dressed by about 11am, I’ve pretty much made the decision to scrap my day and be a lump.
Today wasn’t such a bad day to do nothing, though. It was the first snow of the season, and I have hours and hours of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to adventure through.
Free Write
I don’t know what to write about today, so I’m just going to start typing and see what happens, ok?
Ok.
I think about money a lot. I’m not sure if this says bad things about my personality, like I’m greedy, or if it’s more that I like predictability. I like knowing that I can afford my rent and my next few meals. I like having the option of going out to dinner with a friend, or dropping in on a belly dance class… though I haven’t done that in quite some time now.
Why is that, I wonder? Why haven’t I been dancing? I think I haven’t been doing classes because of both the time commitment and the cost. I could/should dance at home though. I will say, I am tempted to go buy a hoop from SaraCura though. Not that I’ve ever hooped before, but it sure looks fun. And it seems like it would be good exercise. I’m just not sure we have room for me to practice in this apartment. It may require me to venture into strange areas of my apartment complex, and that might scare the old people! Ha! If I go get one it’ll probably be on Small Business Saturday. Seems like a good idea to me!
Journey Quest
If you’re a geek like me, this is the sort of thing that gets you excited… Journey Quest is about to have a full-length second season!!
There’s something about fantasy and comedy together that works really well for me. It’s an invitation for the mind to come out and play; to not take everything so seriously. It’s a reminder that sometimes you want someone a little different on your team, because diversity of talents is a good thing. A questing party of five human fighters would get pretty dry, and quite dangerous, after a while.
I pledged $50, so apparently I get to coin two Orcish words. Any suggestions?
Jonah
My first nephew was born yesterday! Jonah Michael came in at a hefty 8lbs 12oz. and is definitely going to take after his Uncle Jon. He’s got the light blue eyes and dimples! He’s such a sweetie! I just wish I’d be able to get good photos of him at around 1 month old like I did for his big sister, but they’re living way off in Ohio. *sigh*
Maybe our tax refund will fund another trip out there next summer!
Brain… Not… Functioning…
Yesterday and today I accidentally woke up at 3:00am. Now, I get up early for work, but not THAT early. I’m usually up at around 5:30am. I like the morning. Mornings feels fresh and new, and riding your bike to work during the sunrise is just about the most amazing experience you can have, and I get to do it several times each week for a good chunk of the year.
But, waking up at 3:00am when you didn’t mean to is rough. My brain has been a little cloudy all day, since it was my second day not getting enough sleep, and my coffee consumption was delayed this morning, and the tiredness and stress of decision making nearly made me cry at work for really silly reasons. Fortunately, it was early enough that the office was pretty empty, and I managed to keep it together. I was experiencing a lack of confidence, so I reread my Predictive Index summary and it reminded me that I generally do good work when I put my mind to it. I’m sure that finally ingesting coffee helped a great deal, too.
I am quite glad to have tomorrow off… I need to sleeeeeep!
