we've been experiencing a particularly dramatic thunderstorm since last night, it's quite something. it's also a great excuse to be indoors in pajamas with the heaters on.
the evening mostly went smoothly - although mr smear did push past some boundaries, he responded relatively well when called out / punished and that's quite comforting. we ended up putting him to bed with a good feeling, which counts for a lot.
i think about "launches" and "landings" a lot, lately. it's always important to make people feel good when you greet them, and when you leave them.
gd and i watched the first half of dark city for the first time. i was tired, and i missed a few beats along the way, but so far it's really intriguing and atmospheric.
i slept pretty well for most of last night. i woke up earlier than intended, did some dishes and made some coffee, and was mindlessly watching youtube videos when mr smear came into the living room.
i suggested that we try hogwarts legacy together on the playstation, which i picked up a week or two ago on special. i sat through the intro/tutorial with him, and it's amazing. so that's what he's doing right now, while i'm chipping away at chores and wondering how the day's going to go.
