"How to store & organize cats"

I have to do everything against my will to stop myself from getting a cat/a real friend when Alex and I have our own place in Beijing.

A Good Provider Is One Who Leaves

"Deprived of their father while sustained by his wages, the Comodas children spent their early lives studying Emmet’s example. Now they have copied it. All five of them, including Rowena, grew up to become overseas workers. Four are still working abroad. And the middle child, Rosalie — a nurse in Abu Dhabi — faces a parallel to her father’s life that she finds all too exact. She has an 18-month-old back in the Philippines who views her as a stranger and resists her touch. What started as Emmet’s act of desperation has become his children’s way of life: leaving in order to live."

Is it already February?

I apologize for the lack of posting. I've been conducting mental ethnographic research of the people of Guam but had been so overwhelmed by the amount of information that I cannot properly process and produce any kind of substantial material. I assure you- time and energy permitting- the content would be groundbreaking and sensational. However, it is hard to really have any personal projects realized when I am wrangling a terrible two, driving the Princess around (Alex) and working on various projects for my family (like I said, I am multipurpose). Alex had previously made a comment about how babies are good sleepers through their ability to sleep through being moved in an out of temperature and light controlled areas. I am finding myself to be the same way between the hours of 10-11:30pm, nothing can prevent me from sleeping. What do you know, its about that time again. This is nonsense.
