Woke up slow to fog blanketing our town, and my kids dozing next to me.
Marie spent the night at her parent’s since she binge watched the new season of Bridgerton with her mom and sister. The kids and I chilled the night before, and I mainly used the time to grind in my video game and watch TV.
It was nice not doing anything in the morning. I usually push myself to get some chores out of the way and cook and clean, but I took a necessary step back to focus on relaxing. Amelia has been really into Adventure Time, so we’ve enjoyed it together. I watched the new episodes as they released each week in high school. That is the only show I’ve ever treated like “my show” when it was coming out. After a while I fell off since I didn’t have cable in my early college days. It’s been fun thinking about who I used to be while watching shows from my youth.
After the sun came up and burned away the fog and mist the kids and I walked to a nearby park. It was about 15 minutes away so we each got a nice stroll.
We enjoyed the sun at the park, and got home about 2-2.5 hours later.
It was sliders for dinner. I cooked the meat in a muffin tin for bite-sized burgers.
I’ve been watching Genndy Tartakovsky’s “Primal,” while putting the kids to bed. It’s a good show. I love the art style, and the lack of dialogue really adds to the mood. It lets me enjoy sick fights without having to worry about story. I am by no means against story, but when I’m watching and playing on my phone I need that ADHD split-screen energy.
The moon was almost full. It shone through a soft haze in the night sky, circling itself with fading white rings of light. When I smoke on the patio I breath out longer than normal, and try to see when the smoke ends and the breath begins. The train running through the neighborhood across the road leading out of town is chunking and clacking on the tracks.
I miss my cat.
To all my family with love,
