what even is a website

and what is it for?

i find myself wishing i had made this website ages ago, so that it would already be the thing i want it to be without having to put in the effort to get it there.

i'm about to finish another book and wishing i had a place to log book reviews (other than goodreads). i have this same inclination every time i play a video game and want to write a few thoughts about it. truly it makes me wish i had an easier way to journal that didn't require me to bust out my laptop every time i want to post something.

but on the other hand, maybe i just need to keep my laptop close at hand. i can type faster than i can write, after all.

overall, i'm just not sure what i want this site to be. i've got a blog to journal in, but this blog structure isn't super conducive to anything other than posts. if i want an actual static page, it's just not that simple. i could have this be one wing of a bigger website? maybe i will get to that point some day.

my indecisiveness is causing me to lose sleep. i need to just accept what i've got and not push the limits because i don't have the time.

this weekend has been a bit hectic, my wife was sick so i had to take care of the kids largely by myself for the past four days, taking a couple of days off work in the process. that's okay though, i had been thinking about how i wanted a 3 day weekend, and i got one! i just wish the circumstances hadn't involved a family member being 70% bedridden for 3 days. anyway. i love those little babies. babies are great. nobody ever tells you how cool babies are.

other notes: i'm almost done reading the last of the cosmere novels (by brandon sanderson) and i need to figure out what to read next. i'm about halfway done with my next leather project! that'll be up on the gallery in like. a week or so. this upcoming week is going to be very busy, not least of which because we've got a baby shower to attend next weekend, and my wife needs to finish a quilt and mobile as gifts for our friends. let's cross our figures and hope the little ones are agreeable this week.
