I have been wanting to “blog” for a while. One thing that kept me from doing it was feeling like I needed a new computer. I started to do some research on getting a new computer, and was completely floored with all of the different options out there. Storage, speed, streaming capabilities, etc. etc. I don’t really know what I prioritize the most. Then I tried to make a new blog, too, and then remembered that I already have this tumblr. So here we go. I am not great at commitment, and each weekend I’m pretty sure I tell myself I’m going to do something, and I don’t get anywhere close. Such as: I’m not going to drink alcohol this week. I’m going to exercise thirty minutes a day. I’m going to wake up on time and walk Glade. These things just don’t happen like my brain thinks they will. I’m wondering if putting it down in writing might hold me accountable. Reflection in general is important, and I’ve always enjoyed it. I’ve neglected this part of me since living in Colorado. 

We got an hour back today. It’s daylight savings. Nathan, Glade and I walked around town today, and nothing was open. Nothing is ever open in Montrose on Sundays. Chow Down was, and Nathan got Glade some wild boar treats. I finished Pachinko by Min Jin Lee. It wasn’t my favorite but not the worst. I do feel like it was much longer than it needed to be, and introduced characters too late in the book and provided too much information on them than needed. I’m on the search for the next book.
