Hello Monday (yep, I know, I'm a day ahead of most of you).
Honestly, the whole of my weekend was a bit meh. Adam was working yesterday and I had a lot of good intentions to CLEAN ALL THE THINGS, but I ended up sitting on the couch doing almost nothing all day. Today, in contrast, is much better. I've been active on my distance learning platforms, I've vacuumed the kitchen, lounge and hallway, and after I talk with Puck shortly, I'm eyeing up the linen cupboard for a once over.
Yesterday, I did actually enjoy a Netflix ramble from "the minimalists" or whatever they market themselves as. There's no way in hell I'm ever turning Adam into a minimalist, but I reckon I can pare back some of my things.
Last time I was living away from home, I deliberately only took 5 "entertainment" things with me. I didn't even use all 5. So now's my time to try and dive deeper into just a couple of things. I've also deleted a number of apps off my phone, which means if I'm really looking for a distraction, I have to download a thing (which I then delete after I've finished the binge - case in point being Farm Heroes yesterday) or, god forbid, Kindle. Yes, I'm starting to learning to read books again.
Way back at the beginning of this blog, I introduced two of my fwbs (as they were then), Chalk and Cheese. Cheese posted yesterday that his beloved cat had passed away. I tried to contact him yesterday but he wasn't taking messages. He's been in touch today, so hopefully in his grief he didn't do anything terribly silly. He has a lot of problems with authority, alcohol, anger, etc. to the point that I don't actually want to spend time with him anymore, but I definitely wanted to offer him aroha over the passing of his cat. That cat was my hugest comfort when I met them, since I'd just left (moved out after 4.5+ years) my significant ex and his cat. Cheese's cat was so affectionate and helped me immensely. So hopefully I can have a wee chat with Cheese later today.
