07.17.22 – Another Lazy Day? Yes Please.

Should I even still say that today is also another lazy day? All my weekends are lazy. I just sprinkle my chores in there to be honest. I try to set aside a couple of hours for chores and the rest of the time, I’m vegging in bed watching whatever I am in the mood for.

Today, I woke up, fed the dogs, and went back to bed to watch Gilmore Girls. I did not do any chores until 11 am. And I finished everything that I needed to do by 1 pm. 

After that, I just spent time with my love. We played Stardew Valley. Then his power went out. So we decided to try and watch a movie, but that did not go well. I decided to read a little bit – I managed to finish a page, when he messaged me that his power was back on. So we decided to hop back on Stardew Valley only for us to discover that his saved Stardew Valley files got corrupted. Yep, our saved farms have now been deleted. So yeah – we decided to start over. I mean not like we had a choice.

We decided to watch My Hero Academia: Two Heroes. Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did. I mean, that is no surprise though, I like the anime. I told hun that we should continue to watching the anime. The only thing that is stopping us really is the fact that this one is not done yet. We are not a big fan of waiting for new season, and the fact that episodes are uploaded one episode per week. NO.

I’m going to try and read some more tonight. I mean hey, I managed to knock out one page earlier. So I am hoping that I can more pages done tonight.

07.16.22 – Today is One Lazy Day

Today was lazy. Sure I was up at 5 am, fed the dogs on time, left the apartment at about 7:30 am to get gas and indulge myself with a venti iced brown sugar oatmilk shaken espresso – my favorite. After that, I went home, stayed in bed and cuddled with my dog. I didn’t start doing my chores until maybe 11:30-ish.

I ended up cooking braised pork belly today. This dish is starting to be one of my favorite pork belly dishes to cook. I mean, adobo is still my first choice. But this dish is new and I’m still trying to perfect it. I guess I can start cooking it by taste. No more exact measurements. I can start pushing the flavors out the way I want to.

I already finished my laundry today. The only chores I have left tomorrow is just throw trash, cook rice, and most likely cook some porkchops. But that is about it. Hopefully, I get to hang out with my hun tomorrow.

We played so much Stardew Valley today. I really do love playing this game with him. We also watched a couple of episodes of Bob’s Burgers while he was eating dinner. I really had fun today. 

07.14.22 – One More Work Day

Today was meh at work. Not like that’s anything new. Really it’s just the same shit different day kind of thing.

My hun and I watched The Bob’s Burgers Movie. That was fun. I mean, not that I thought it wouldn’t be. If you enjoy the episodes, you’d definitely enjoy this one too. As my hun said, it was an extended episode. With a lot of singing and a lot of things happening. I enjoyed it a lot.

I’m not too tired today, which is a good thing.  At least I am not dizzy because of exhaustion. I am still in front of my computer as I am typing this right now. Usually, I would be in bed using my Chromebook instead. But this is good. I don’t want to sleep yet. 

At this time I can say that I will try to read something…But I really shouldn’t. Because I have a feeling that I won’t. As you know already, I have no discipline. And I am not one to force myself to read when I don’t feel like it. But also, I really should read. I complained to my hun a lot that I have not been able to read in a while and yet here I am trying to make an excuse to not read.

I have no plans tomorrow after work. Grocery shopping was done this afternoon on the way home. So really just relax. Maybe do the laundry so I won’t have to do it on Saturday. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow. My hun is doing a double tomorrow so hanging out with him is out. 

07.13.22 – A Short Post from a Very Exhausted Brain

Today was not too bad weather-wise. It was still too freaking bright and too hot for my liking but not as bad as yesterday. I cannot wait for the gloom to come back. It needs to come back like now.

My hun and I were able to hang out tonight. We played Stardew Valley and it was fun. That game is just relaxing to me. Well I when I’m playing it with my hun anyway. I did enjoy playing it alone but I preferred it more when I’m playing with my hun. I did try playing it alone the other day and I was like – NOPE.

I should try to read a couple of pages tonight. Or at least until I pass out. I’m just really having issues with focus right now. And I just really need to just read. I’m pretty tired so I know I won’t be able to read as much anyway even if I wanted to. I would be lucky if I don’t pass out immediately once my head hits the pillow. I think the only way I can even read a few pages is if I read sitting down. But I am feeling the exhaustion for sure. I feel the dizziness. We’ll see though. I would like to get at least a couple of pages. Or even a chapter!

07.12.22 – My Brain is Melting

My brain melted today. Actually, it’s still melting. Too hot right now. With the risk of sounding like a broken record, I will keep complaining about the heat. I ran away from this and it followed me here. So I am not happy. And the fact that this apartment does not have an AC, yeah, I’m suffering right now. 

Work was work. Same shit different day. The only highlight was the fact that one of my coworkers stopped by the office in the afternoon with her dog! Yes, despite the heat, all of us onsite became alive! We were all playing with the doggo! 

Of course, I became really irritable as the day continued. I just wanted to be in front of the fan and not move. But I neeed to take care of the doggos and had to make dinner. I was not a happy camper. The apartment was too hot to move.

Right now, as I sit on my bed in front of the fan, Paco is staring at me because he wants to play catch. Crazy dog. It’s too hot to play. I just want to make as minimal of movements as I can. I hate the heat. 

I am on a reading slump. I am deciding if I should pick up a book that is short and easy to read right now just to finish something. And again, this is not Lamb’s fault. That book is amazing, I just need something to finish quickly. 

I have Sleepless in Seattle playing in the background right now. I am not sure if I want to play You’ve Got Mail again. Maybe. Not sure yet.

07.11.22 – I Need This Week to be Over Already

I feel exhausted. Not sure why, but I just am. I think I might just be mentally drained. Work has been very draining. There was some drama going on at work so that was also taking some of my energy. The lab supervisor and I are also planning on moving around some stuff at work to make room for the sample accessioning team since right now my team is just all over the place.

Not much happened today, to be honest. My hun had boy’s night and I just cooked spaghetti for dinner. And after dinner, I decided to clean my fountain pen. Finally. I forgot how I love the weight of that pen when filled with ink. I would use it more often but fountain pen-friendly notebooks are a bit expensive. I tried using it in my journal today, it didn’t glide on the paper as smoothly as I wanted but at least the paper held up and there was no feathering. But I also think that this is the wrong type of paper for a fountain pen since my journal is a sketchbook technically. 

Speaking of journaling, I really need to start plopping colors on my pages again. I’ve been utilizing stickers right now but I miss having colors on the page. I should really start using the watercolor paints that my hun got me. And I also really need to get into drawing again. I have my sketchbook with me every day, along with my pen case. I just need to get on it while I’m at work – bored.

Reading has been a struggle lately. I find myself losing focus after a few pages. It’s annoying me. It is not the book’s fault either. The few pages I read make me laugh. I enjoy those few pages. But then I lose interest. I don’t know. Maybe I’m just making excuses. Maybe I just don’t have discipline. I just need to sit and read. Who knows, I’m just not one to force myself to read.
