10-Minute Warning CLXXVIII

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

Today at work, I had only a few tasks, and I finished them with ease. It has been weeks since the last time I only had a handful of workload, and I’m relieved.

So, work’s over, my parents ran many errands, and I’m all alone in the house. What should I do?

Then the sadness started to sink in. I can feel this is the kind of melancholy that I experienced almost a month ago—alone in the house, with my thoughts, and with or without my favorite Jack & Coke Zero. And usually, when I feel this kind of sadness, I would just dwell on it but I would also not do anything rash.

But today, I did not feel like drifting in the darkness for long. Instead, I watched a few films on Netflix: Back in Action (a spy action comedy film starring Jamie Foxx and Cameron Diaz) and all of two Extraction films (starring Chris Hemsworth as mercenary Tyler Rake.) The impromptu movie marathon (plus the sirens I heard that reminded me of the greatest mathematician of all time, Scott Steiner) distracted me from the sadness.

In other news: I’m really tempted to have my favorite Jack & Coke Zero tonight, but I need to resist. Drinking said drink is my Friday night ritual, and I don’t want to ruin that. Not tonight at least.

…and my time’s almost up. See you in the next post.

VIII: The Deranged Writer’s 33rd Birthday (So Far)

Hello. Here’s what happened today, my birthday, so far.

I

Today I woke up at 10am; I planned on waking up earlier than that, but that’s all right. It’s my birthday.

Anyway, my Mother made some soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. My heart is happy because soft-boiled eggs have been one of my favorite dishes since I was little. After breakfast, I checked my socials (notably Facebook and Messenger) and read some of the birthday messages. I don’t want to reply to them yet, but I will later tonight or tomorrow.

10-Minute Warning LVI

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

I woke up groggy and dazed because I slept late last night. And then the weak feeling turned into this massive headache. The good news though is that I only worked for a few hours today, so I was able to get an extra hour of sleep. Eating and taking a nice, cold bath helped get rid of the pain as well.

And what’s the other good news? I enjoyed watching The Legend of Bruce Lee on Netflix with my Mother and Father. We started watching last weekend, and we have watched 4 straight episodes today. Here’s to more wonderful bonding time with the people I love!

And time’s up.
