An Update
Heeeey guys.
It’s been a week since you last heard from me, and at this exact moment I have nothing for you.
I have an idea. I definitely have an idea. I just need to write it down.
And I haven’t.
And I’m sorry.
Things kinda got away from me this week. I’m down the street at a friend’s house puppy-sitting, and ya know what? I’ve enjoyed it. I kinda like shutting my laptop at 6pm after a full-day of work and getting these two weirdos walked and fed. I kinda like sitting on the couch and turning on the TV and watching these two weirdos fight over who gets to sit in my lap. I kinda like waking up in the morning and watching these two weirdos flip out when they realize that the day has officially begun. Anytime work got to be too stressful this week, I’d simply turn to the little weirdos and scream, “PUPPY PARTYYYYYYYYY.” They’d descend on me like maniacs and life would feel fun again.
Today is my last full day with ‘em. Gaaah. It ain’t like I’ll never see ‘em again, but I’ve gotten used to falling asleep with these weirdos by my side.
Is it time to admit I’m ready for a companion? Would the promise of a pet help fuel me to secure a bigger paycheck and a bigger apartment? I know I’m supposed to be thinking of retirement or whatever, but that’s even more abstract than a mortgage.
The weirdos are wrestling behind me. It’s time to change their pee pad. I haven’t had a proper breakfast and I need to watch the new Ted Lasso. I promise I’ll write down my idea. I promise. Just not now.
