nap – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CLXIII

OK. What can I tell here under 10 minutes?

Today has been a sad day for me.

I woke up feeling sad. I’m sad when I had my breakfast. I’m sad when I took a bath. I’m sad when I opened my laptop and worked for a few hours. I’m sad when I had my late lunch. I’m sad when I looked for a job. I brought my sadness to my afternoon nap, and I woke up again still feeling sad. I’m sad when I had my dinner. I’m sad when I watched the movie Meet Joe Black, and I’m still sad while I’m writing this.

And all of this, I don’t know why I’m sad. All I know is that I’m sad, and I just hope I will not be sad tomorrow.

10-Minute Warning CLIII

For my 6th entry of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024), I want to share that I’m feeling the birthday blues again.

Why do I have the birthday blues today? Maybe it’s because today I did not have enough sleep, I woke up earlier than usual for work, and I had difficulty napping in the afternoon. Maybe it’s because I’m disappointed at a flaw in my recent purchase (that I only found just now, and I may or may not talk about it later). Maybe it’s because I still have not booked a table yet for my birthday dinner. Or maybe it’s all of the above.

Anyway, I hope to turn things around before or on my birthday, December 5. But for now, I’m dwelling in the dark again.

10-Minute Warning LXI

So, what can I share here in under 10 minutes?

Today was a good day. I ran an errand and then I had my weekly hangout at Satchmi. This is the 1st time I visited my favorite cafe at 10am. I usually go there in the afternoon or evening. And what did I have while I was there? My beloved affogato. And I was able to update my planner/journal after. Coolcoolcool!

After my time at Satchmi, I met with my parents at SaladStop! for lunch. This is the 1st time we ate there in their actual spot. We usually order their salads to go. And what did we have for today? Their Hail Caesar and Taco Loco. The former was good, but the latter was excellent! (It must be the spiciness.) Next time I will order some more Taco Loco with extra chicken bits.

After our lunch, we went home and I tried to nap… but I can’t. The affogato’s espresso that I had was so strong (which I love). So I watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother, and I’m so close to finishing the entire series (again).

I’m supposed to write more but my time is up.
