Friday 4am

Up early after a good sleep. Still haven’t finished my essay. Throat a bit sore. Will work out and run by 6am.

5am, Back from my jog. Worked out. Can feel the endorphins.

6am, Early morning errand to get bread with Mom who’s going for a scan. She can’t eat anything else apparently. We found some stray loaves at Petron. Dad was mad at us for going out on our own.

8am, Busy with my essay on human rights for Portside. The hard bits are over. Now for the closing arguments, the actionable points. It was a fun write. Feeling sleepy somehow. Managed to get cleaned well.

12pm, Had takeout noodles for lunch. Cleaned my bathroom which was very grubby. Missed some unobvious spots like the wc pedestal, unfortunately. Next time. Took a brief shower and changed into my gray FoTL tee. It’s just 5 days to Raya (Id). Helped ‘Prince William’ exorcise his witch problem which drove him mad as a hatter onto me and my friendly group of repentants. Remember, I’m retired. No job is very urgent or important anymore. Will resume my essay writing later. Took some hits.

2pm, Busy inventing a game for Tarot cards. Need to prepare some materials for players’ reference. No hurry on the essay.

6pm, Helped make dinner. Jalapeno pork, Greek chicken, and couscous which was fluffy this time, and rice-texture dry. Mom is going for a scope to check her stomach for cancer as she lost 5 kg lately. The rest of us are okay for now, thank the Lord. Making a story reading video. Learning to do it right. But does the world in crisis really care about one Chinese guy’s dumb short story? Want to take another shower. Maybe draw up the quasi astrology game thing.

7pm, Took a good shower and changed into fresh clothes. Want to wake up early tomorrow. Take meds at 9, sleep by 11. Jog and pushups tomorrow.
