XXIII: Becoming More Forgetful

Lately, I have been more forgetful, and I hate it.

Let me list all the things I (almost) forgot this week.

10-Minute Warning CLXVI

All right. What can I write here under 10 minutes?

Or better yet, I should answer this: How am I today?

Physically, I feel weak. It must be because I woke up feeling tired, and I started eating less rice or carbohydrates in general. I realized that I had been eating more than usual, and I felt sad about how fat I looked. I also admit that I have been lazy about working out lately. I need to be careful about what I eat and I need to exercise more as well. I’m not getting any younger.

And mentally, my mind is still all over the place. I had a bit of work to do, so that kept me distracted for a while. Now I want to go out tonight and have my favorite affogato… or maybe a different drink, any drink that will make my heart and stomach happy. (No alcohol though. It’s not the weekend yet.)

Overall, I’m not fine, and I feel that I will be like this for the rest of the week. But I hope I will be wrong about that.

To everyone, have a nice week.

XI: Full Circle I (The Diary’s 1st Anniversary)

The last time I celebrated a blog anniversary was in 2008 – I have been using WordPress for a year and I have a different name and persona. Since then (evolving into The Deranged Writer and all), either (1) I blogged for several months and then stopped it and gave my blog a hard reset, or (2) I forgot to acknowledge my blog anniversary. That is why it is so sweet to celebrate my anniversary today after many attempts and years to blog regularly. (Even if many people don’t read blogs anymore.) Good job, self!

So, what did I learn and do to blog frequently? Here are the things I learned and my writing process on The Diary. (Buckle up because this is going to be a long post.)
