Diary Entry, 18 October 2024

A picture of an office desk in a dim ambient environment.

I wonder if I can stick to writing this time. It has been such a long time. I do not even know if I can string words together that anyone would want to read. I do not think I am as interesting as I was when I was younger.

I turned forty years old in July. I wanted to start the blog then and planned but somehow I had not gotten around to writing, or even paying for my hosting service.

Picking Up a Long Forgotten Hobby

Yesterday, on an impulse, I bought an annual hosting plan. Now here I am, writing.

I suppose one of the many things that hindered me from actually writing was overthinking. I plan so much that I tire myself out to even begin acting on my plans. Funny.

I am diving in today and just writing for the heck of it. I can just yap without plans or structure or any clear topic. This is partly a diary, after all.

I bought a few things today.

  • Deceptive Calm by Patricia Skipper - I got this book through a recommendation from Online Book Club. I thought maybe it was high time I started reading books again. Read a book instead of wasting so much time doom-scrolling on TikTok (I will still doom scroll but the point is to LESSEN wasted time).

  • Cat Litter Mat - I need to get better at maintaining cleanliness in my home. Somehow I have not gotten the hang of the litter boxes. This is yet another method I want to try and keep things much cleaner.

On Wednesday I began having a marathon viewing of The Lincoln Lawyer. I'm glad I began the series because the third season just dropped this morning.

I am so glad it is Friday. It has been such a long week and I am so looking forward to the weekend. I wonder if I will be productive.

It's 10:22 am now and I should be heading to bed. Yes, bed. I work the night shift.

Will I ever have more words to say than these?
