I took a nap today. It was a pretty good nap, but the fact that I can’t tell you a single other thing that I did today is kind of alarming.
What did you do today?
Today’s activities included:
Tomorrow will feature clearing the driveway of snow and Lego, hopefully in that order.
I had a few microwave burritos for lunch, a meal that once I was done with it required me to not only change my shirt, but to wash my face and arms.
Go away, 46, nobody invited you.
(Also, I just opened up the section of this page where I choose categories and enter tags, and I swear to you I was about to put in “Saturday” as a tag. It is Wednesday.)
I’ve been playing video games all day and am about to build a Lego set. How’re you?

Spent today mowing and reading; this lazy bastard spent today laying on my wife. I think my favorite thing about him is that black ring around his neck; it goes all the way around, and if we ever decide to have his head mounted on a wall or turn him into some sort of futuristic head-mounted-on-a-hovering-robot-body cat we have a perfect place to start.

I cleaned about half the house today, and in between vacuuming spent a pleasant hour out on the back porch enjoying the one (1) day of nice weather we’re going to get before Too Fucking Hot starts kicking in tomorrow. I will get the rest of it done tomorrow, along with finishing the week’s grading and driving over to my dad’s to give him a Covid haircut.
I also cooked breakfast, but I did that before the rest of the stuff. Turns out the boy likes omelets.
Tonight shall be spent finishing Season 5 of She-Ra, finishing my third playthrough of Nioh 2, and getting as far as I can into The Ten Thousand Doors of January before sleep.
Not a bad Saturday, as they go.
6:56 PM, Saturday May 23: 1,618,471 confirmed cases and 96,983 American deaths.

After I get this post written– because God forbid I not get a blog post written– I intend to be exceptionally lazy for the rest of the day, even by recent standards. I have a feeling that this is going to be a rough weekend mentally and the most difficult thing I want to have to worry about for the next 48 hours or so is preventing myself from blowing any more money on dice this weekend. I literally– this is not a joke, it happened– dreamed about dice last night. I’m fucked up in my brain-parts, I know. I can’t explain it.
But there are books to be read, and video games to be played, and technically I cooked breakfast today so I’ve had at least one Real Meal. I probably need to do something to keep the boy alive– did you know kids are supposed to be fed every day?– but beyond that … eh. It’s Saturday, and I’m in quarantine. I’m gonna Saturday today.
2:24 PM, Saturday April 25: 924,576 confirmed cases and 52,782 American deaths.
…preventing this from being a perfect Saturday is the fact that it’s Thursday. That said, lounging about all day in jeans and a hoodie, reading two and a half entire books, and finishing the day with salmon and mashed potatoes for dinner is basically nothing but win.
