10-Minute Warning LV

So, what happened in my life today?

I did my morning rituals, I did a little bit of work, then I had lunch, and then I had my therapy session. I was supposed to have my therapy session last week, but it got rescheduled a few times, and then it finally happened today.

One of the things I shared with my doctor was my desire to plan my birthday party, and then she told me that I had grown so much in the past year. From surrounding myself in the darkness, now I want to celebrate life. And I didn’t notice that comparison until my doctor said so. Sure, I still dwell in the darkness every once in a while, but… wow. Cheers to progress, self!

Then tonight I had a BLT for dinner at my favorite spot Satchmi, and then suddenly I watched DC’s Blue Beetle. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed it more than The Flash. I might watch it again – hopefully with a friend or a family member.

Crap. I’m walking on the sidewalk right now and it’s starting to rain. I have to go.

10-Minute Warning LIII

Hello. I know I said I will lessen the Minute Warning posts for a while. But I would like to share how I’m feeling right now in under 10 minutes.

Today I feel sadder than usual. I feel sad after waking up. I had brunch while feeling sad. Normally I would dwell on the sadness for a while, but this time I don’t want to. I needed a distraction.

Then my Father told me he’s running errands and he wants me to join him. I instantly said “yes.” After all the errands, we bought 3 tubs of ice cream – Rocky Road, Double Dutch and Cookies & Cream, my favorite. Thank you, Father, for the ice cream. I needed that.

And to cap off today, I went to Satchmi and write on my journal while having a BLT. Unfortunately they ran out of their house blend iced tea, so I ordered something different – an iced peppermint tea. The drink tastes… interesting. Weird but interesting. Anyway, I’m glad I can depend on my favorite cafe whenever I feel down. Thank you once again, Satchmi.

And time’s up.

OK. What can I tell here in under 10 minutes?

First of all, I would like to say that in a few days, I will be publishing my 100th post here on The Dispatch. And as I approach a historic entry (for me, that is), I’m planning to make fewer Minute Warning posts. I’m planning to make more non-time pressure content like Gratitude Logs and Notes to Self. Watch this space, my friends!

And as for what happened today… other than helping someone with a small debt and having Jollibee’s Chickenjoy for dinner with my Father and Younger Brother, nothing much happened. Today has been OK. But at least it’s not a bad day.

And time’s up.
