So, this is the end of the freedom summer.
I have been doing very well with doing basically nothing, and I think I am better off for having the downtime. But it is over. I’m shifting to work mode much slower than my partner (who never left work mode) but I will get there. I went in and taught a lesson with her and that ‘preseason’ was really helpful to me in the sense of allowing me to remember what it is like to be ‘on’ and deal with students face to face. I needed that.
Now I need to start scheduling my time again. No more languishing in hours and hours of Minecraft, NBA 2K, and Apex Legends. That trifecta grind has been most of my summer. Little binge watching occurred thus far, though there is a fair chance I get on Evangelion before the summer is out.
I also need to get out. The boys are super cooped up and ready to be out in the world again. I’m also ready to be out in the world–so long as that world is not 110+ degrees. See, my AC is busted in the car, so everything is a struggle. Not even sure I have the loot to fix the darn thing. I’ll be at the shop tomorrow figuring that out.
Some Thoughts:
- Good food and good company make the world a worthwhile endeavor.
- Attack on Titan is about done for the season. I’ve watched it with half the family and now I can binge out with the other half.
- Didn’t really have a lot to say tonight–I am shifting back into that other headspace.
- Lots of NBA action. Knicks lost out in free agency. Entirely. So, can we NOW consider shedding James Dolan like so much dead fur?
- I cannot wait for football. The distraction is needed…. Now to teach these dudes the fantasy game…
