07.26.22 – This Heat is Discouraging

I don’t think I need to say that today was hot as well. When I say that all of us in the office felt like we were melting, it means that it was really how it felt like being in there. I was thankful that the lab was actually climate controlled so it was just cool all day. But the extreme differences in temperature when we leave the lab to enter the office were not good. I mean I was having a headache for a bit. At least I didn’t have to be in any meetings today so I was able to just stay in the lab for the most part.

I was able to spend time with my love tonight. We just watched a movie but that is okay. We watched Mission: Impossible, the first one. I honestly don’t remember if I watched it before. I feel like I did, but I really don’t remember anything that happened in the movie. Maybe I started with Mission: Impossible 2. I don’t know. My hun said that it was a heist movie and most likely the reason why I really like it. Who knows. My thoughts on the first movie was good. I enjoyed it a lot. Definitely not as much Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. I’m trying to look for the third movie but none of my streaming services have it at the moment without an additional subscription. No good. 

Planning on reading a little bit tonight before I decide to go to bed. Normally, my bed would be calling my name at this hour. Or maybe it is calling my name, I just didn’t want to hear it. The thought of lying in bed is not really enticing at the moment because of this heat. I already took a cold shower too. I wiped down the dogs using a cold washcloth. Not sure if that helped them at all. But this heat is just so much.

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!

07.10.22 – I Love Steaks

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.
