The Deranged Writer’s favorite caffeinated drink – espresso and ice cream. Sometimes it’s pre-mixed, sometimes it’s not.

10-Minute Warning CXLI

So, what can I tell here under 10 minutes?

I’m not going to lie. I have felt physically and mentally tired for the past 2 weeks. That’s why I have not followed my blogging schedule again. That’s why it was a struggle for me to do my daily routine.

But what keeps me going are my recent “lamp posts”. The 1st lamp post: My Father bought ice cream for me last Monday afternoon. I don’t know why you did that, Father, but thank you. I appreciate it very much. And my 2nd lamp post: my weekly affogato at Satchmi. Now my week is complete, and it’s only Tuesday. To my favorite cafe, thank you once again.

Another lamp post: the half-shell Deadpool mask that I ordered last August. I think I will get it by October or November, so I should wait and keep going. I’m so excited to wear it soon; I call it an early birthday gift to myself.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning CXL

I’m becoming more forgetful recently, even if I write a lot online or offline.

For example, I left my home and had an affogato at my favorite spot tonight. Before I started drinking and writing, I took out the box containing my wireless earphones, and the right part of my earphones was not there. I feel bad about myself for a minute because I usually check out my everyday carry before I leave home. And I had to listen to only 1 earphone while writing.

The good news is that my Mother found the right part of my earphones and I got it upon arriving home. But the bad news is, well, I’m becoming more forgetful. I need to be more mindful about my belongings.

I have another example of me becoming more forgetful nowadays, but my time is up tonight.

10-Minute Warning CXXXIII

I was truly productive this morning. I did my morning rituals without error, and 1 delicious cup of coffee gave me the energy to work right away. And then at work, I revised some quotations, photocopied a few documents, and sent several emails… and that was it. Work is over early, and now I have free time. What should I do?

I thought of making a different post – maybe a new Notes to Self or another Song of the Moment. But then I decided to make another Minute Warning post and enjoy the day more. I already spent a few of my free time watching a few episodes of Person of Interest (Season 4).

As I type this, the day is about to end, so what should I do? Maybe I should go to my favorite cafe and have a tasty affogato? Maybe watch Deadpool & Wolverine for the 3rd time? Or maybe I should do both?

Anyway, that’s what I can share (for now) under 10 minutes. Happy Monday!
