XXXVI: The Nocturnal’s Struggle of Waking Up Early / Notes to Self XVI

If you have been following The Diary lately, you should know that I’ve been making gradual changes in my life. One of those changes is waking up early for work—ideally at 8:00am. I did just that on most workdays after ToyCon 2025, and there were times I even woke up at 6:00am. (That’s a feat for a nocturnal person like me, and even my family is shocked by the fact that I woke up before they did.)

Now it’s beyond the middle of August 2025, and I admit that I haven’t really been waking up as early as 8am lately… and that’s fine.

10-Minute Warning CXXXII

So, what can I blog here for under 10 minutes?

Well, my parents and cousin May are going out of town tomorrow. They will attend a relative’s church wedding this weekend. That means my Younger Brother and I will take over the dispatching duties among others, which also means I need to wake up earlier than usual.

To my parents and May, have a safe trip and enjoy the weekend. They deserve a break from all the hard work they do.

What else? Oh! I might watch Deadpool & Wolverine again this weekend… or maybe tomorrow? I love the latest Marvel Cinematic Universe film so much, and I will watch it again with or without company. After round 2 of watching, I will blog about it.

Speaking of Deadpool, I have found a local maker of high quality Deadpool masks (both full-shell and half-shell), and I will order a half-shell mask from him soon. Probably. Fingers crossed on that. I need a new mask aside from the luchador skull mask that I have.

And that’s it… that’s all I can say for now.
