Nothing here but my musings about daily life, books, anime, and food.
So, it’s Sunday once again. And that means time to be at work again tomorrow. Just thinking about it drains the energy out of me already. I know I’m being dramatic. And I really should be thankful that I have a job and all. But I think I am allowed to not like my job once in a while. Well, more like most of the time. And regardless of how much I complain about how tired I am of going to work, the job is actually not bad. I think I am just ready to move on already. I am just waiting on some projects to be done and over with before I can actually move on with my life.
Anyway, my hun and I hung out today. We played Stardew Valley the whole time. I luckily found a trident from a treasure chest while fishing and I gave it to him. He was having fun with it in the dungeons. I was so happy. I never get to give him something cool in the game so I was so excited when I gave it to him!
I had a steak dinner with a friend tonight. Steaks were on sale again at our local grocery store. We served it asparagus. On top of that, I had mine with rice and kimchi. And oh my goodness, the flavors meshed so well together. I was so full afterward. We also watched White Chicks. Yes, the movie is now back in HBO Max. It was a very pleasant dinner with Paco kept on wanting to play.
I am now watching The Parent Trap, the one with Lindsay Lohan. I was trying to find something to watch on Disney+ but I couldn’t decide so I just picked one of my go-to’s. Of course, after this movie, I need to get ready for bed and just relax until I fall asleep. What would be on the TV then? Most likely Bob’s Burgers. Unless I want to watch another movie, then I think it would be You’ve Got Mail or Sleepless in Seattle.
I haven’t really been able to read since yesterday. I just read a few pages too. Shame on me. I can’t seem to focus longer than maybe two pages lately. Not good. But at least I am able to read a few pages here and there.
So, remember when I said that I felt like the booster was kicking my butt? It did! That Thursday night, I was feeling tired but I started feeling the beginnings of fever once I was going to bed. And guess what happened throughout the night? Yeah, I got a fever. I still went to work Friday morning though. The team was understaffed, and I cannot afford not to be onsite. Regardless, I went to work with a low-grade fever. Trust me, if it were higher than 100F, I would stay home and would not be able to work. But since it was a low-grade fever in the morning, I just went onsite and decided to take it easy.
For the most part, I was fine all day Friday at work. My head was a bit fuzzy but the fever went away. Granted that my body temp was still hotter than my normal temperature, I still survived without any incidents. When I got home was a different story though. Why? The fever went back. I practically passed out when I got home.
I woke up this morning fine. Like the past two nights didn’t happen. I went to the store – did some grocery shopping. I went to USPS and picked up my Book of the Month package. I got gas. I went to Costco to get my bottle of Vitamin D and Zertec, and also found myself a new pair of work pants. I went to Autozone and finally got rid of my used car battery sitting in the trunk of my car. I also got windshield wiper fluid. Then the last stop was Mudbay to get a food tray for Phoebe. I was pretty much productive. I did all the errands.
I got to hangout with my hun today. We watched some episodes of Soul Eater. I forgot how packed each episode was in that anime. I love the artwork, fighting sequences are good too. We also watched a movie! Cloudy with a Side of Meatballs. I did watch this movie before. And honestly, the only things that I remember were the giant meatballs and the “baby”. And I’m glad I watched it, and actually enjoyed it with my love.
We did end date night pretty early. But that is fine. I’m still doing laundry. I guess I could read tonight too. I’ve been slacking off in that department.
Today was meh for me. The only highlight I had today was the fact that I finally got my booster shot! Yeah, I definitely procrastinated on that one. Not that I meant to, I just kind of forgot about it. And now my left arm is sore. I do feel a bit of tiredness, but otherwise, I feel fine. I don’t even know if the booster was to blame for the tiredness. I might just be really tired.
Today was still pretty busy at work. My team is still understaffed. And tomorrow will be a little hectic for me since my morning has been blocked with meetings. So definitely not looking forward to that one.
I didn’t get to read last night. No surprise there. I just felt so exhausted that I just want to sleep. Am I going to read tonight? I mean I can. The question really is, will I even try? I haven’t really been reading on weeknights and that is a shame on me. And weekends tend to be busier. I know, it sounds like I am making an excuse. And you know what, I feel like I am. I just don’t know how other people can squeeze in reading. I feel like I have so much going on and I don’t have any free time. And when I feel like I do, I’m just tired.
I didn’t get to hang out with my hun tonight. We had a bit of miscommunication there. Not going to go into details on what happened. I just feel bad. I didn’t want him to think that I already have a backup plan if we didn’t end up hanging out tonight. I just didn’t want to eat dinner alone tonight so when he took a raincheck, I invited my friend right away to have dinner with me and to watch some Beastars.
Speaking of Beastars, I already watched this subbed. But now, my friend and I are watching it dubbed. I am not one to prefer the dub version of an anime. I don’t mind it, especially if I am watching anime with someone. It’s just easier to interact with someone when you are not reading the subtitles. But I will always prefer the subbed version. But this dubbed version of Beastars was just a chef’s kiss.
I really have nothing to say…All I know is that I feel tired. And I want to curl in bed. But that will not happen since I still have some stuff I need to finish doing. Like, you know, finish cooking? I am making chicken curry and it’s currently simmering, so I can’t pass out in bed until that is done.
Work was sort of busy. Hopefully, it won’t be too bad tomorrow sample number-wise. We had a lot today and with more than half the team out, the push to finish samples was a bit slower. The only lucky thing was the fact that I didn’t really have any meetings today. The one meeting I had was rescheduled for Friday. So my Friday calendar was a bit full of meetings.
I finished the Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich documentary. And I was right, I got annoyed and very much triggered by what happened to these women – girls at the time of the incidents. Not to mention the special treatments this guy got when he was in “jail”. And yes, quotation marks are needed. Because he was never really in jail now was he?
I wasn’t able to read last night. Not sure what really happened, but I passed out. I mean that is nothing new really. But I wasn’t expecting to pass out. I remember having my phone on because I was watching YT videos and then I woke up this morning with my phone drained of battery. I’m pretty you can guess that I overslept and had to rush getting ready this morning since my alarms didn’t go off.
I was having an allergic reaction before I left work this afternoon. My left arm and left hand were itchy. My back, my neck, and my stomach were itchy as well. I had to take two Zertecs. Not sure what triggered it but it did and it was horrible.
I am currently watching You’ve Got Mail. Surprise! Well, technically it was already on my browser and I just decided to play it. This movie just makes me feel better! Don’t judge me for how much I overplay this movie.
I am hoping I get to read tonight. I am torn between wanting to stay up to read and wanting to not do anything. That is the dilemma as of right now.
Last night was rough. Fireworks. I was never a fan of fireworks even more now since I have pets. The dogs get scared when they hear fireworks. And that is what I was expecting to happen last night. I was ready to comfort Paco, our over-anxious dog. I was expecting a lot of shaking. But that did not happen. Our Paco turned into a protector. When the fireworks started, he became alert. Looking everywhere, trying to figure out where the loud sound was coming from. He decided that he would be lying on top of me. Not moving but very alert. Then he proceeded to run to the bedroom to check on my friend, his other mom. He stayed there for a bit and then came back running and again lay on top of me. Alert. That went on for hours. From my calculation until almost midnight.
To say that I didn’t really get much sleep was a huge understatement. I pretty much had interrupted sleep. And woke up fully at 5 this morning. Too early for my liking. I was dragging the whole day at work. It was fine. Nothing new on that end. I didn’t end up going to my early morning meeting. Because I just didn’t feel like it. Horrible, I know. But I was just so tired of that meeting to be honest.
I just finished watching the documentary Keep Sweet Pray and Obey. This documentary was definitely about the rise and fall of Warren Jeffs. I am not one to judge religion. We are entitled to our own beliefs. However, I am against treating girls, women, females as second class citizens. And the more I get invested in this documentary, the more I feel sick to stomach. I was nauseated. What these females had gone through, I cannot. I just cannot fathom the fact that this exist. I commend the females, people who were actually brave enough to leave the compounds and start fresh.
I am now jumping to the documentary about Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich. Because apparently I am not annoyed enough right now. I am however planning on reading more of Lamb tonight. I just want to see an episode of this documentary then I am most likely moving on to reading. I do need to give my brain a break from these horrible people you know.
I didn’t get to hang out with my love tonight. He was hanging out with his friends and playing video games. He was doing his own thing so I decided to do my own thing as well. And that was chores, cooking dinner, and just watching documentaries that would definitely annoy me apparently.
Well, I just want to get this one out of the way – Happy July 4th to all of those who are celebrating the US Independence day. I do not. But not because I have anything against it. Not at all. But because I do not generally celebrate anything. Holidays or otherwise. But since there was a sale for ribs at my local grocery store, that is what I will be having for dinner. Barbeque ribs with garlic potatoes.
I got to spend some time with my love today. We played some Stardew Valley again today. It was fun and relaxing. We also end up watching a couple of episodes of Futurama. That show is also enjoyable. But then again, I think the reason why enjoy them so much is that I share them with him.
I do have a headache now. My hun says that it was because we played video games for way too long. And I told him that is not a thing. He insists.
I did read last night. I loved it. Sure I stayed up way too late but that was the plan anyway. I would read all the time, all day if I can. I wish I could is what I’m saying. I often times think that I am in the wrong business. But would I really love it still if I do it for a job? Who knows right?
I am finally watching Sleepless in Seattle. What do I think of think as of right now? I just realized that they used the song Over the Rainbow in both Sleepless in Seattle and You’ve Got Mail. I often thought that the song was out of place in You’ve Got Mail. It worked so much better in Sleepless in Seattle. And I really appreciate that this movie was actually filmed in Seattle.
Am I excited to be back to work tomorrow? No. I like staying home. I often say that if there is a job where I get paid to sleep, I would take it. I think I’m just lazy. I’m always tempted to not go to sleep so that morning does not come so quickly.
