One year car checkup

I have to sit in this nice cool air conditioned building for an hour with nothing but my thoughts and my phone.

I spent the morning with my son at the community center. I was going to buy flowers for my wife after, but the line at the flower shop was outrageous, and after a phone call we decided on extra sweets.

My son is starting to be interested in other people. All of a sudden I become super self-conscious of my Japanese, and need to overcome that. It means I need to go to the community center every Saturday and Sunday. He will not learn shyness from me.

He’s also still enjoying throwing things, and this isn’t the first impression we want to make on others. So it’s balancing playing it cool, apologizing when necessary, and a bunch of other stuff.

We’ve had a fairly clean living room and bedroom for a while, and my office is okay I guess, but we really stalled on the rest of the house. I want to get back to this. We may want to all of a sudden sell the place and I don’t want to wait until then to clean.

It’s really not the time to be lazy, for the next decade or two. Maybe I can successfully fake it after a decade, but I need to let go of Sundays where I did nothing but lounge and waste the day. There’s so much I want to do and it depends on not being lazy.

I want to start looking into camping gear. When my son is 2 or 3, I want to start doing some sort of camping. My wife says she does too, but she’s not a bug person and they live where one camps. Not sure how that will work.

I want camp in style though. As a kid my family did more roughing it camping. I want big tents and areas to chill if it’s raining. No hotdogs but fancy tasty food. Not sure if this is easier to say than do.
