10-Minute Warning CLXII

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

It was a pretty dull day, especially at work. Since I didn’t have any paperwork today, I ran an errand and that was it. And since I was done early, I dropped by my favorite cafe and had my favorite affogato. After an hour though, I went home early—like before rush hour. I don’t feel like staying at the mall until closing time today.

What else? Well, that’s it. Besides having my favorite caffeinated drink, it was a pretty dull day.

10-Minute Warning CLXI

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

Well, today at work, I ordered some spare parts, I got those parts earlier than expected, and I finished all of today’s paperwork on time. I feel so productive and happy after that. And after work, I started watching Daredevil again on Disney+ in preparation for the upcoming series Daredevil: Born Again. (The new series about The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen will be released on March 4, 2025.)

Tomorrow, I’m expecting a bit more work. I’m finishing work early though and then I’m going out to an event at night. I’m an introvert; I rarely go out during weekends and I’m not that good at socializing. But I’m expecting some socializing during the event that I’m going to, so good luck to me. Setting aside the socializing aspect, I’m pretty excited for tomorrow night.

What else? Well, that’s it. That’s for now.

Song of the Moment LXVI: Spice Girls’ “Too Much”

Last Monday, I felt so unhappy and unmotivated that I skipped exercise time and my favorite cafe time. So last night, I went to the mall, had a fresh haircut, and ate my favorite BLT sandwich at my favorite cafe. I also made time to write in my journal and planner. All of those things made me feel better.

Today, I finished all of my work tasks, and I wrote again in my journal and planner earlier than usual. Then I was reminded of a 2025 resolution I still haven’t accomplished: finding a second job. Yes, it’s early to tell because it’s still January, and my current clerical job is stable. But I have to be honest: my current pay sucks and I need to keep up with the growing bills. I need another way to save more money. That means I need to find another job—a well-paying part-time job—and I need to do it more strenuously.

Anyway, after work and reminding myself about a resolution, I watched the iconic graphic novel-turned-film V for Vendetta, and now I’m writing this while listening to a hit by the Spice Girls, “Too Much”. It was my favorite song from the English girl group when I was young, and it’s still my favorite from them now—even if some of the lyrics remind me of a painful memory several years back.

Happy Wednesday, everyone.
