XIX: Second Week of February 2025 (So Far)

Hello. Sorry for the lack of updates again. So, for a change, I will avoid making another Minute Warning post, and I will try to sum up what happened so far from February 10, 2025 to today, February 16, 2025.

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.

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.
