7:55AM

there really is merit in coming in early. the traffic is pretty good and the parking lot isn't crowded.

i just need to get home earlier. maybe i can try a 5pm getaway later. i run out of time in the evenings and i don't get to do my usual leisure stuff. i had to finish all the chores first including making myself dinner.

yesterday i left the office at 5:30pm, was in my home area an hour later, went straight to the gym, 30 minutes of continuous workout (happily, i was able to sustain it like i never had three weeks of rest), then some grocery shopping for food. i got home around 8pm, cleaned up the fresh squid before i could cook it. by the time i was eating dinner i was so tired i almost fell asleep on my squid. to treat myself i drank a lot of sparkling red grape cocktail juice pretending it's wine.

i couldn't make myself do chores immediately so i stretched out on the bed and felt i could stay there for the next couple of days just sleeping. i pushed myself about an hour later, did my chores, took a bath, and then crawled back to bed. i did read a couple of chapters of Trinity Blood (the novelized version, which actually had more sexual references than the anime or manga) so i would not end the day without being able to do non-work/non-chore stuff. i dozed off easily in less than half an hour.

i've taken to leaving myself post-it notes around the place to remind me of things i need to do. i don't like the feeling of loose ends scattered all over.

in the middle of cooking dinner i messaged jacob. just because i wanted to. and i wanted to feel his warm spirit. our exchange kept me awake through the evening, allowing me to get the important things done. we were able to say goodnight before i tucked in with Abel Nightroad.
