Not Flo in my brain hopped up on SSRIs telling me to go outside and get some sunlight.

Going to experience the Antioch Richmond transfer for the first time tonight and we shall see what happens.

Good commute juju is beating the estimate to walk to the BART station by 5 minutes and also having the correct train come in 2 minutes after you get there.

My current state of being.

My urban walking skills have peaked. Walked 14 city blocks in 21 minutes, made it to a Broadway show with 3 minutes to spare.

Been cooking a lot to try and not waste food and also as a main way to relieve stress and fulfill enjoyment, so here’s some meals.

Nothing worse than a coffee withdrawal and hangover headache merged into one.

Nothing like going to a meditation event with your friend to notice that you cannot sit still for your life.
Look, evolution needed people who fidgeted.

Me every time I go to Europe: “Ugh, I miss Chinese food.”
I’ve become my dad.

Everything’s fine over here - nothing to see other than me just mass producing dumplings to quell my anxiety.

I know I’ve reached my true self when I actively think about moving closer to my favorite grocery store.

The crux of my relationship
In SF, you must go to the fireworks. In Oakland, they come to you.
Who knows what kind of sleep I’ll get tonight.

Only in the Bay Area do you have to take 3 modes of public transit in order to go 30 miles.

It seems like every time we have a COVID scare at the house, I have serendipitously gone to the grocery store exactly two days before and overbought food.

The thing saving my mental health right now is doing stuff with my hands and forcing my brain to not think about anything other than what my hands are creating.

Days like yesterday really make me hate my brain.

Me, having a meh Monday and being checked out: “I guess I’ll meditate and then go exercise.”
Me, after doing those things: “Damnit, why do these things work for our stupid mental health.”

When can I get back to a normal level of whelmed?

How do I make my motor skills more fine?

Turns out nihilism is genetic.

I picked the absolute wrong two weeks to have too much going on.

Me: "Maybe we can play Mario Kart [on the transit back]. Maybe I'll finally beat you!"
Partner: "I must confess...whenever we play together, I use handicaps."
Me: 🤯😭🙈🙃
And here I thought, I had a chance...since I had been practicing...never mind...
