reservation – The Diary of The Deranged Writer

10-Minute Warning CLIV

This post is a part of 14 Days of The Deranged Writer (2024).

So, what can I tell under 10 minutes?

Firstly, I really, really, really don’t want to write another Minute Warning post today because I already wrote one yesterday. But I can’t write a longer post because I have been sneezing all day due to allergies, and I almost ran out of tissues. If I had more than 1 task for work today, I would be annoyed as hell.

7 days before my birthday, and I feel sick? I hate this. I hope to be well tomorrow, make a header image for this post, and then deal with the birthday dinner reservation. I should have done the latter way earlier than tomorrow.

And time’s up.

10-Minute Warning LXXXVIII

It’s less than a week away before my birthday, and I lost one of my 2 final venue choices because I waited for too long. My bad. I will drop by the other venue tomorrow so I can check the area and have a reservation in person. If I can’t get the reservation though, there’s Jollibee… kidding! Or am I?

And then there’s the payment. This will be the 1st time I will treat less than 20 of my loved ones to a birthday dinner while I’m employed, and I’m nervous and excited about that. I hope I don’t go over the budget, but I should be prepared for it. Wish me luck!

Less than a week before my birthday… I may be depressed, but yey.

10-Minute Warning LXXIII

Today I’m supposed to write my 10th Notes to Self, but I need to get something off my chest.

Tonight, I almost got hit by a car because I felt dizzy and a bit breathless while I was walking in the pedestrian lane. I felt ashamed and more anxious because of the almost-accident, so I went straight to my safe space Satchmi, relaxed my nerves, and had my dinner there. It took an hour, 1 BLT, and an iced tea before I started feeling somehow better.

Before closing, I asked one of the cafe’s baristas if I could reserve the cafe for my birthday. He told me that I could reserve the cafe as long as the event falls on a weekday, and I said my birthday falls on December 5, Tuesday. Cool. Now my favorite cafe is a possible birthday venue. I went home after inquiring, feeling much better.

What else? Hmmm. That’s it. That’s about it.
