Bird Shit and People

[float_on_alright]

When I write about my day I usually just leave a Google Doc open and write in it as the night goes on but I’ve left writing until too late in the day for that. I walked the dog when I got home after grabbing some Thai food from the local noodle house. I can’t remember exactly what it’s called, but the food is good. I had some Mee Krob (I’m not sure I’m spelling that correctly) which I hadn’t had in ages. I forgot to put the crunchy bits on which made me sad after, but the food was still really good. I have some leftovers as well which is nice. I’ve been listening to “The Raven Cycle” books over the last couple of weeks and I had started the last one a couple of days ago. I listened on the way home from work of course and while I was walking the dog, which led to me listening to it while I microwaved my food and while I ate and while I sat in the chair. Every few minutes I’d think “I should go to bed” or something similar because I do have to work tomorrow then I’d realize it was only 9:30 or 10:30 and I don’t usually go to bed that early unless I’m unwell. I’m not staying up as late as I used to. No, that’s not true. I’m getting more sleep than I used to but I’m mostly going to bed around the same time (maybe slightly earlier but not by much) because with working more 8:30s than 8s, I am able to sleep a lot later than I have in the past. Because of the significant difference in traffic, it only takes me about 40 minutes to get to work if I leave after 7:30 instead of the solid hour and perhaps change that it would otherwise. It’s amazing to feel like a generally rested person. I honestly don’t know that I’ve ever known what that’s like. Even if I’m off for long periods of time... I don’t know. Maybe it’s because at that point I tend to stay up stupid late and sleep into the afternoon which I’ve heard is not when you get the best sleep. I don’t know. Maybe it’s not having a job that makes my soul weary. 

The point I was going to make when I started that first sentence was that I’ve decided to try out the WriteorDie app for tis journal endeavor this evening. It’s going well. Instead of stopping and starting 93,930 and taking seven hours to write a post of the day, it’s only taking me 10-12 minutes. 

I am tired though. I did stay up a little late last night and it was a pretty busy day. 

I’m sure I had a point about The Raven Cycle thing but it was probably just that inspite of the fact that I’ve only just started to like the books (I’m nearly done with the fourth and final installment) I’ve been very anxious to see how things turn out. It’s got a great premise and my patience waiting for the queer story line was worth it. And everything has been kind of facinating even if I haven’t always liked the books or the characters. Part of me is tempted to stay up and finish the last couple of hours of listening I have left to do, but most of me just want to sleep. I’ll be able to finish it pretty easily tomorrow. I’m off on Monday (woohoo!) so it’s not like I wouldn’t be able to stay up late tomorrow if I wanted. Granted, I have less than 3 hours left at this point and I listen to it on a 1.5 speed so it’s even less than what it looks like. And since my eyes are watering when I yawn from the tiredness, I think it is for the best if I don’t stay up any later. I did want tog get a few words out though, especally since there are so many things I want to buy off of Amazon right now and I have a sizable stack of words to write before I’m able to buy more books. 

Anyway, night all.
