Last Sunday, while Niko and Nina napped, I did absolutely nothing; actually, I did 15 minutes worth of work and by work, I mean publishing and promoting my most recent daddy blog, and it was wonderful and quiet. I really think I need to do that more often because it’s a lot of hard and constant work being a dad; especially right now as Niko is being potty training. Plus, I have to make sure he doesn’t hurt himself; I tell him everyday I don’t want any accidents on my watch.
After Niko goes to sleep for the night, I always come back downstairs to clean the kitchen, take the trash out, prepare my meals for the following workday, eat dinner, write for a few minutes, and enjoy some peace of mind for a few minutes. By the time my mind is cleared, it’s time to go back upstairs and join the wife in bed. On Sunday night, I had already done a lot of the stuff earlier in the evening and while I ate dinner, I was able to watch the pilot episode of Glow on Netflix. I eventually finished it upstairs.
Clearing my mind and keeping my sanity is good for me and I have done it every night since. Yes, I write for a few minutes because I have too, but otherwise, I have been watching GLOW; I am currently on episode 5. And, yes, again, I have watched the last few minutes of each episode upstairs.
