almost october

[seething]

i tried a quiche today, at a cafe clearly customer-ed by rich people. i couldn’t quite place why the baristas were like, colder than normal, but after a couple minutes of surveying their patronage i was like oh.. yeah. :( this is not the scene i’m used to!

anyway, it’s night now. and you won’t believe the set-up in my room. little context first: my congestion has been crazier than normal, sinuses just all out of whack, nostrils closing and opening at will. the left nose hole was like, dry today or something, so the corresponding left back of my throat was sore this evening. idk the actual cause and effect here, but maybe someday soon i’ll educate myself on the anatomy of it all. anyway, i have too many important things happening over the next couple of days and i can’t get sick or have any pestulancies (made-up word)!! since i had already steam-bathed myself over a cup of tea post-homemade-fish-taco-dinner, and it was kind of nice, i had some empirical evidence supporting the idea that adding moisture to my air & sleeping in that for hours would make a kind of difference, so, time to bust out the humidifier! but then– the air purifier. hmmm, you see i wake up and sneeze every morning because of fucking dust or something idk. mold?! so i’ve been living with my new baby as we know…but would it dry out my new air? has it been? all thoughts i’ve had in the last 20 minutes. anyway, i go to fill up my humidifier with water, bam, she’s working right away. i put her next to my bed and turn to the air purifier at the foot of my bed, turn it on. WHY IS IT READING AT 100?! oh mygod she turned on and boom numbers start flying up. what?! its normally at like…1. maybe 002. but we flew past the 70s into the 90s and past 100?! (don’t ask me what it’s measuring, idk, but number bigger = badder) so i was shocked! i ran her last night, with really no need! steady low numbers, even with/after candle burning. then wasn’t in my room all day! maybe left my door open for a moment this evening… so that’s an unsolved mystery. but i think ugh maybe the humidifier is too close to my bed, i don’t want to get wet dirty air. so the two machines are now both at the foot of my bed, sharing the rug <3 sisters <3 so cute <3 and i am well taken care of. thank you, machines! please keep me healthy! (lol just realized the mug of tea i made a while ago is also still quite warm because of my electronic mug hahaha. that’s so chic)

that was a lot of dumbness. but it excites me. what else. i had a proper adventure today. so much was inspiring me and filling my bucket i just had to write it down at the beginning of my afternoon class. let’s take a look at the notion, shall we?

here’s the translation: so that’s what i did. what was i thinking tho? good question. got a list for that too.

so i’ve got a lot going on, internally and externally. big woo. have to get up so early tomorrow– i shouldnt be up right now– to go to a catholic training about protecting god’s children, mandatory for before i begin tutoring writing once a week at an in-need private school. awkwarrddd for the church! (it’s about child sexual assault prevention.) curious to see how they approach the subject. but its early as fuck and a 20 minutes drive away. watching pretty little liars right now though and the two cunty moms are discussing divorce and dating again, lmfao. this show cracks me up. i told the elevator pitch version of my parents’ divorces story today, only to realize i hadn’t really talked about it in a while. a long while. not something i think about, those couple of months. shit was kind of…idk. don’t think i have the right word.

i should get goinggg now. i know!! such a shame. isn’t it so fun to read all these details?! it’s fun for me to write them. i want to remember somehow.

w/ love & sustained interest in life,
talk soon, about teaching, and other things,
Kate

p.s. i’ve been taking some pretty pictures, will share soon xo
