10-Minute Warning CXLV

OK. I give up. I will not force myself to blog twice today because I still feel weak. I rested early last night but still feel weak after waking up.

But my weakness did not stop me from running errands, having a haircut, and going to my favorite cafe Satchmi. I had to do all of them today because I expect a heavy workload this week. I also had to do all of them today in case I still feel weak.

What else can I share before my 10 minutes is up? Well… tomorrow is October 1. That means 3 more months before 2024 ends. That also means my Mother’s, Father’s, and younger brothers’ birthdays are coming up. “Octoberfest”, as they say. This is going to be fun.

Speaking of birthdays, I’m supposed to plan my birthday a few months from now. But then again, why should I worry too much about my birthday? And it would be nice if I’m not the one who’s planning it… yeah.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CXLIII

So, what can I write here under 10 minutes?

Well, I started having a movie marathon tonight while enjoying some ice cream (cookies and cream flavor). The 1st movie on my list is Horrible Bosses, but I got bored halfway through the film. So I went on to the 2nd movie: 3 Ninjas Kick Back. It’s an old and silly action movie about, of course, 3 young ninjas, but I grew up watching it, and watching it again after many years brought happy childhood memories.

I’m still looking for the 3rd movie to watch. Either I choose DC League of Super-Pets or The Bourne Supremacy. I’m also thinking about whether I drink another Jack and Coke Zero. I only drank 1 last night, so…

That’s all I can share for tonight.

10-Minute Warning CXLII

All right. After 2 weeks of physical weakness and depression, I have gained the energy to finish work on time and now I want to walk and jog tonight. The energy may not be 100%, but it’s a start. I thank that cold brew this morning, my family, and my “lamp posts” for giving me the energy and hope today.

I learned a few years ago that whenever I’m in a depressive state, I should not rush to bounce back. I should rest and dwell in the darkness for a while. And then when I find my lamp posts and gain enough energy, that’s when I start to bounce back. And The Diary, I will let you know when I truly keep fighting.

That’s all I can share for today.
