some mondays are like this

wake up. no yoga on monday so sometimes i sleep in but try not to sleep past nine.

 remember dream. put on my glasses.

 walk down to the kitchen. think about the weather and the lighting of the kitchen.  if it's grey, i pretend i'm cold and it's winter.  if it's sunny like this picture, i pretend it's summer.

 start the water. 










use the bathroom.

run upstairs and say hi to kurt.

 brush teeth.

run back down. check to see that the water is boiling.  make the coffee.

 drink coffee.

try to solve puzzles and figure out my future. try not to get distracted.

adore the little birdies outside my window.








go into school.  but don't really want to.

 walk down jalan cendrawasih. get really sweaty and hot.

pass the growing number of semi trucks.

 get lunch. prefer to cook at home but sometimes there is no time.  the food here is good only sometimes.

say hi to lia who works here.

 eat. give annie my opinion about the food.
plan. sometimes write reports and certificates.  bleah.
teach. two, three or four lessons depending on the day.

get home and sit.   organize my desk if it's messy.  sometimes annie and i will go sit on the roof and chat.

wind down.  (the amazing little bunny on my computer was drawn by the very talented Greg Rozum)  sometimes i read, draw, write, listen to music, look up things on wikipedia (usually things related to fruits, vegetables or reptiles for some reason) or talk to jamie online and laugh uncontrollably out loud in my room.

get in bed. unless i fall asleep to reading, i lay in bed feeling restless, awake but tired.  eventually i fall asleep but i still can't figure out how i do it after all these years.
