Happy today, mate !
I’m at that stage of the vacation where I can’t tell what day of the week it is without checking. I know today’s Friday, because it’s WEB day and I know the date. But I think the lack of school, college or a job keeps me from dividing the week into workdays and weekends. It’s today, simply, and I’m glad it is.
In a weird turn of events(?) I have lost my ability to watch YouTube, Hotstar and Amazon prime videos lately. Don’t know why, it’s very unlike me to not be watching stuff. The last few times I’ve opened YouTube I’ve watched a couple videos, added some to Watch later and that was it. I haven’t used a lot of Hotstar or Amazon prime either, their subscriptions are wasting away. Thankfully, I’m just as good at watching TV and reading stuff so I’m not going bonkers anytime soon.
My brother turned 11 on Wednesday and I got him a set of Harry Potter books. He enjoyed the movies and finished the first book, so this makes for a nice present. Sadly he’s a Hufflepuff which is a massive letdown, which is not very surprising to me. Anyway the books ship by next Friday, (my eighteenth, slick) and hopefully he makes reading a habit. It’s a nice habit.
I spent a lot of 11th grade reading, which is not ideal. I went insane for a few weeks and read as many books as possible as quickly as possible. Not nice. If I was at college and free I was probably in the library. I said no to a lot of people about a lot of things. I was the No monster, something I remember from my 4th grade English Broadway. It was a poem in our reading book. Then slowly, I started saying no less and it wasn’t bad.
Use your nos wisely, mate. If you use them too often, people stop asking, and you don’t want that. That’s the last bit of wisdom you’ll get from a seventeen year old me.
Tis, mate was the Weekly Email Blast, Email 108. Happy Weekend !!!
