10-Minute Warning XLVI

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

A bit of sad news: Because of a mistake on my part, there is a slight delay in the shipping of my Bullet Club 10th anniversary jacket. The good news though: I’m sure I will still get it sometime this August. I’m looking forward to that day!

What else? Well, when it comes to work, I started working on checklists yesterday and I finished them all today. That’s 2 days – a record for me. I hope I can be this fast with completing billings for this month. Father had told me to work on those billings more quickly.

And time’s up.

So, what can I share here under 10 minutes?

Today started at an indie gig afterparty at a small bar near Taft Avenue with my younger brothers, their bandmates, mutual friends, and the general crowd. I admit that my legs feel sore after standing for 5 hours straight, but seeing great bands in their element makes the soreness worth it.

At 2:30am, Younger Brother and I parted ways with Youngest Brother, and we arrived home at 3am. And because I took my nightly medicine too late and had no work to do during the daytime, I woke up at 2pm. That’s way too late on a weekday, even for me. And I woke up feeling a bit shitty and anxious. (That happens sometimes when I oversleep.)

But then I checked my email and learned my Bullet Club 10th anniversary lightweight jacket has been finally shipped. Cool! A dear friend once told me to “in the darkest of times, try to focus on the glimpses of hope.” In this case, my glimpse of hope and my dose of positivity is that cool Bullet Club jacket. I’m looking forward to wearing it soon!

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning XL

Nothing much happened besides doing some work and my usual daily routine today. So, instead of what I can share today in 10 minutes, maybe I should share my plans for tomorrow.

What would I like to do tomorrow? I would like to dedicate a few more hours than usual to writing on my new Moleskine 18-month daily planner, and then a few more hours also writing here on The Dispatch. I have been successful in updating my planner for an hour daily, but I have been repeatedly writing here on the blog in under 10 minutes daily, and I think that needs to change.

As for writing while drinking and eating at Satchmi, a different cafe, or at home, it will depend on the weather. It has been raining a lot this week, so I will see about that.

As for what I would like to do tomorrow that does not involve writing, I started watching The Punisher on Disney+ while I’m typing this, and I would like to keep watching it tomorrow. And maybe I should drink a Jack and Coke while doing that.

But crap. I ran out of Jack and Cokes. I should buy some.
