This is not typical, but also not atypical: today I started work shortly before noon, worked until seven, and worked a total of three hours. Or got paid for three.

The frustrating thing is, that the two two hour breaks between classes could be a time where I could do something creative and important, but instead...I am hitting refresh and waiting for something to happen, while feeling very sleepy.

Well, I am still having some adventures, and still going some places.

But I also started playing Civilization II. A game that is 30 years old, and that I have been playing for almost all of that time, and which is one of the exemplars of the "just one more turn" game, where you start playing and it is 3 AM but you just have to see what happens next. Except for that in my case, I am showing a little restraint. No 3 AM eternal here! Just two hours between doing things. And letting my brain turn off. Which is maybe what I need right now.

Just turned 46 at midnight. Go me!

I seem to have moved.
I should make a real update of what is going on, but I keep on thinking it will be superseded too quickly!

It was an exhausting day, but over 4 airports and 16 hours, I reached my new "home".

So I am leaving in a week, and the truth is, I am sad, and tired, and don't really want to deal with a lot of things right now.

Also, sorry that I am not keeping up with this more? Even though it could be valuable.

It is also dumb but I've been staring at it:

2,2,3,2,5,2,7,2,3,5,11,2,13,2,3,5,17,2,19,2,3,5,23...

...and then not posting. :/

Ah, my work schedule. Today I had three one hour classes, spread between 2 and 8 PM. So I get up and get ready and feel antsy...not enough time and energy to go out (okay, I actually do go for a brief walk in the morning), but also too much time to do nothing.
My first class is cancelled. Too late, so with pay! Okay, that is good. And that gives me two hours, right? Two hours is enough time to work on a project, only its hot and I am uncomfortable and that work is floating somewhere on the horizon...and so I poke around and hit refresh and answer email. Okay, that makes sense, but then I realize that between waking and my first class, I have six hours. I go out once, twice, three times, go shopping. It is something. But it tickles the back of my mind: what else could I be doing in five or six hours? I could be writing the great American novel!
But I am not.
I am making plans for this weekend, at least. I think I am going to go lots of places to catch up on activities! Lets see how that will work!
Thank you for reading!

Well, it looks like February is almost gone.
The shortest month.
I did a lot of things in February, including finishing my walk from Alajuela to Turrialba, and seeing Liberia and Guanacaste Province. I also started two new students at work.
But...wow, it seems sometimes that I am draining the ocean with a teaspoon! There is just so much to do for myself and for the world. :/
So I am moving along but also...wow, sometimes it seems quite overwhelming.
