It's 1.13AM and I'm catching up already because it's too much of a backlog, there's still 4 posts from last month I need to fill up and the novel-writing has been playing catchup because I won't get the dedication to get these posts complete. So I'm going to do a few more posts today right now though it's going to be very late so I can just do four posts in the morning and four in the evening for tomorrow and be done with it. It's going to be an intense two days but I'll be sane and writing my novel again after this is over. Also I'm getting too far away from my journal days to accurately remember what happened in those days.
Got late because slept late. The sleep was deep and comfortable though the bar tells me I only slept for 55 minutes of deep sleep. Not sure if I want to believe a old tracker that has been dead for a year now until I revived it. It's helped me keep my sleep cycles straight and the step counts in so as long as it's not completely dead I'll keep it with me. Really the thing I'm waiting for is a certain brand of fitness watches to get cheap to their regular levels so I can get an order in and get it replaced.
Got up at 10, out of bed at 12, talked to PN who have been working on their new house for a week now, for an hour-and-half. There was much to catch up on and they've been doing a lot too. They've started maintaining journals too, I'm excited about how that's going to pan out and how much they'll enjoy doing it. For lunch I made a nice omelette with eggs inside it, soft and pillowy. Made kimchi fried rice dumped the well-folded egg on top and pretended to be in terrace house as I had it.
While eating the rice-and-egg, watched Our Man in Japan: James May, a show for which I had seen trailers and random bits of youtube trailers the day before but wasn't completely sold on it yet. It's a great show, I got hooked. I meant to go to Haymarket to get bulk veggies for some project but that went out of the window as I absolutely had to binge-watch it. I watched 3 hour-long episodes before I could call it quits, the Haymarket plan didn't happen so there's no preserve-making going to happen as I promised N. The show's great I'm making a post about it just to kill the count.
Had to get of the house anyhow and my regular walk was getting boring so I decided to walk to Sullivan Square and back. Dropped by several hispanic and Nepali/Indian groceries stores on the way, none of them impressed me. I need to create some malted barley for a future project, none of them had unpolished barley which is the only form of grain that is usable for me. It was a minor disappointment.
Took a bunch of photos of the public art near Sullivan. So cute. Despite living in this area for almost a decade now I had never made the walk. It was refreshing if a little...boring, the inside streets are more creative and whimsy, though the station itself and interesting marks. Should walk to chinatown or Boston tomorrow. The walk took me 50 minutes to get there.
The walk from Sullivan took me 36 minutes. It was because I walked quick and didn't drop by any groceries for no real reason. Which means on bad winter days if I ever have to do my old commute again it could make more sense to actually walk the entire route than take the bus, though on snow-heavy winter days the pace would probably be quite a bit slowed so the math wouldn't translate as well.
Walked straight over to SS's place [Phd], took hair dryer from him which I'll be using to repair my phone tomorrow. Got caught up on the state of matters, future plans, how our families are, where we want to be, savings. We had iced tea with stevia and dear gods I'm not sure if that was the first time I've had stevia but there's nothing I hate in terms of food additives that that dastardly chemical i've realized. Proposed to SS about how he should write a fictionalized version of his life story, told him we could work together on it, could be a great inspiration to the young'uns in Nepal. He said he'd think about it.
Came back, made ramen, cracked an egg into it along with a handful of cheese, the cheese was a really bad idea even besides the lactose intolerance, I'm not going to add cheese into my ramen noodles again. Watched two more episodes of our man in Japan on Amazon as I ate and after. PK and ND must have come in during the time because I was so engrossed in it I didn't really notice them. Came into my room at 15 to midnight and started working on a bunch of these posts because if I don't write four and hopefully six posts, my goose is cooked because I'm running so much behind.
