I think it's going well? The parrot escaped (I'm kind of happy for him?) I'm on a dating app, I feel like I'm wading through a sea of poop But I feel very confident, it feels different from when I was younger -- no sense of urgency I'm mostly amused or disgusted 😄 I only have one late afternoon class on Tuesdays so I got to sleep in and do chores Maru is back to Cairo this weekend to pack, renovations are almost done up North The cat gang is SO CUTE I've named the enormous pregnant white cat with orange splotches Yasmina (Jasmine) Laila's squeaky fluffy orange daughter is Aya (mostly cause her meows sound like "Aya" which is an actual Arabic name) The gangster white cat with orange splotches is Tommy, he has a peaky blinders kinda face I haven't seen Zakareya (fluffy grey) The fluffy black cat who hangs back is Casper, we haven't really had a chance to talk My anxiety's mostly gone Watching the cats and sitting in the garden when it's sunny has been healing Routine has been healing I found a tiny store that fixes home appliances and now I have two hairdryers I like my students I like my managers I like how far online teaching has come along Organising and planning is a lot easier than it used to be I watched the Monk movie with Baba and we didn't yell at each other and we enjoyed it (You don't need family therapy you just need Tony Shalhoub) Life feels peaceful (which is terrifying) I'm trying my best not to anticipate the worst Apparently my sister is coming to visit in the summer 🙃 Not my job, not my circus, not my monkeys! For now, things are pleasant Cozy and pleasant |
