Boys were quiet in the tent by 12. Boy emerged at 2am and moved to living room floor. Living room boy was up at 6. by 6:15 three boys were up. By 7 all boys up and off down the block to the elementary school with my phone and Pokemon Go.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm not into Pokemon, but the new version sure seems to be getting people out and about, which is nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like my new hobby is going to have to be identifying the people playing Pokemon Go.

And feeling really antisocial, declining all bday invites.
Perhaps you should catch some Pokemon. I hear it gets you out and about.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The corporate security on my phone doesn't get along with Pokemon Go (for some reason, I can't give it permission to use my phone's location info, even though Maps and other apps work just fine), so I am unable to participate in our new national passtime. BOO.

I may let my son set it up on my phone so I can be one of the cool kids, but I have an older OS, so not sure.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Last night at Board Game two of the guys were catching Pokemon and insisting they weren't REALLY playing the game. Uh-huh. The library where we meet is Pokemon hotspot of some kind, apparently. I tried to download it but couldn't find it on Google Play, does it not work on Android?
After Board Game I got an invite to go watch MMA fighting at my friend's house with a few people. My instinct was to claim a headache and go home but I'm trying not to avoid, so I said yes. MMA fighting isn't my thing (though the two women who wrestled was my thing, as it turned out) and they didn't have the damn AC on wtf, but the hard ginger ale was good and the company was good, and I was the only one who picked the winner in every fight, haHA. One couple offered to put me on their "permanent list" so I can get into their stupid gated community without having to be called in every single time, which would be good, and hey, they wouldn't do that just to be nice, right? they must actually, like, like me. Right? Cue social anxiety. But it was all right. I dunno. People are okay, I guess, sometimes.

Go you with the socialization, Zen!
I'm in this constant loop of Needing to work all the time, while feeling that I also Need to do something like exercise, and Need to visit my family hours away, and Need to socialize with friends. And there just isn't time. So I work.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm going through a down time right now myself. I had a bad month at work and now I think my boss doesn't trust me. He is making me run decisions through our lawyer and it both grates and makes me worry about my job EVEN THOUGH THE LAWYER AND I AGREE 100%. I am casually looking for jobs closer to home--I'd like to have some of the two hours I am commuting back and forth each day back.
I did not lose the weight I wanted to so I will be feeling whale-like when we go to Hawaii at the end of the month. I'm just feeling generally disappointed myself in a bunch of ways.
