I’m here to normalize ‘normal.’ Everyone wants to be number one, super famous, go viral, have a million subscribers… ok maybe not everyone but a lot of people. I’m tired of it. I’m going for being the most mundane. Average. Blah. That’s my goal. the more boring the better. So in the spirit of ‘boredom’ here is what my world is like…

- I have woken up at 2am and 4am and 6am for the past several nights because my daughter’s cat who is visiting me while my daughter is away for a couple weeks needs attention. At first I thought it was a need for food and play. Nope, she just wants the top of her head scratched and to know that she’s loved.

- I need better shampoo for my hair because right now it’s sticky and gross for some reason. ok, I know why. It’s because I used soap instead of shampoo on it because I ran out of shampoo.

- I found organic instant coffee and it makes me very happy because it lets me make coffee quickly so I can get back to writing.

- I can’t get comfortable this morning in any position writing. If I cross my legs, I hunch over. If I sit up straight, I get tired and uncomfortable. That’s why I write in bed with my pillows propped up but a student told me yesterday that he spent so much time…
