Small things have been bringing lots of joy. I set up a hummingbird feeder and now I have a tiny visitor every day all day.

a friend who I admire a lot invited me to a comedy music show. I wasn’t able to make it, but the invitation was what I needed.

And what about waiting 45 minutes for the best Russian shawarma. Why do we like that. Why do we like what we like.

sad men say the heart wants what it wants.

grateful for the taxes I have to pay, bali blinds, my work besties, nasal spray, curious crows, kitchen space, eBay, relaxing, bro dates, free coffee.

1:04 am.

Finally a healthy dose of social interaction. My bestie neighbor from the old building ventured up the hill for drinks at one of my new local watering holes. We enjoyed sunlight during the golden happy hour—she said little Tokyo is dark compared to here. She knew one of the bartenders—he gave us the locals discount. Afterwards, we went to the other spot and ran into my new friend Laura. We were happy to see each other.

Some people have a hard time making friends. It was always easy for me, but don’t get too close Else I might decide I don’t like you. I’m different now. I’ll still like you if you see a mouse and scream or if you flip your own car. Or if you don’t drink coffee. Okay maybe not that one.

People come and go. Love is eternal. I liked when my friend’s dad said save the drama for your mama. We graduate this class with honors.

Grateful for true friends, new friends, pickletini, my mom, food rich, my neighborhood, no judging, naps, messy apartment, strong women, mom’s kimchi.

2:38 am.

Another day of minimal social interaction. I liked it though. I was able to get lots of household chores done. I was so busy I forgot to drink my wine.

I spilled coffee today—I never spill—I could hardly believe it.

I will see my mom to help her file taxes. I can’t wait.

grateful For enchiladas, weird sleep schedules, buying stuff, beautiful bed, richard’s mom, Easter eggs, hummingbird stuff.

12:51 am.

Happy april. The cruelest month. I made my first mortgage payment. An April fool.

i enjoyed today except very little social interaction. Did I talk to anybody except for work people on the screen? Ah yes, the old man in the elevator. He counts!

I tried to do stuff around the house. Set up some smart lights, organized a closet, enjoyed an apple on the couch. I need to list some items for sale but it’s the last thing I want to do. Maybe just one a day.

grateful for 3m, Doug heffernan, my coworkers, kohler touchless, Vancouver pics, kitchen space, chicken thighs, deliveries, bombas.

12:58 am.

everything’s a blur. It feels like tomorrow could be Monday. I had three big coffees.

grateful for great weekends, bright lights, tineco, falling asleep, frozen foods, free time, patio furniture, work peeps, scummy Jon, theragun, being sweet, Chris Clark, pitchers of Sapporo, azizi bbq, laughing all the time.

2:23 am.

I wanted to go to sleep early, but midnight to 1:00 am is the shortest hour. Lately, I’ve been working a lot, not sleeping enough, eating what I want, and feeling good.

I wanted to talk about tv and art but it was so boring I couldn’t even type it.

grateful for white peoples tacos, spring26 coupon code, itfdb, Sonos, good candidates, northern lights, easyplant, chips ahoy, healthy relationships, free money, zero sugar coffeemate, my family.

1:44 am.
