I’m really struggling here. I love writing in this space so much but it’s hard when there is nothing to say because there is nothing to do. (Side note: not whining, happy to stay home and do my part in not spreading Covid, but you know what I mean!)
So for today I thought it would fun(-ish?) to do a picture or three every hour throughout the day. I mean, I’ll mostly be chained to my desk working, but maybe it will give me inspiration to look out the back porch windows or something. Maybe HNC will be doing something exciting in the backyard. You never know!
So to start, here are some pre-8AM photos of my breakfast adventures. I used to just be a bowl of cereal type of bitch, but since the kitchen isn’t a junkyard anymore, I sort of cook now! (I mean, barely.)
My breakfast is always a mix of vegan/vegetarian stuffs. Almost always some type of egg beaters, vegan cheese, vegan deli meats, sometimes spinach but I couldn’t find it today (Henry?????), and toast. Note: the I Can’t Believe It’s Butter brand of vegan butter is SO FUCKING FOOD.
My ritual is telling Echo to play some type of 80s new wave mix or the Genesis “Invisible Touch” album while I’m breakfasting and cleaning up. It’s my go-to comfort album!
Now that Henry has a place to put all of our card-making supplies, I have a dining room table to eat at again!
8:00AM hour:
Time to feed the squirrels!
HNC was leaving for work when I was laying out the peanuts on the windowsill, so much for catching him doing interesting things outside today lol.
I like to have at least 1000 steps before I sit down to work at 9 so I usually spend my 8 o’clock hour either doing walking workouts or jogging in place while watching booktube or Kpop videos. My life is rich! Today I’m watching some “upcoming 2021 thrillers” round ups.
Mr. Grey Guy is the bistro’s first patron this morning!
Obligatory Chooch Check-In before I log on to work. He’s playing Minecraft in between classes. How thrilling. Also that lighter on his desk isn’t for his smoking habit, but his candle addiction.
9:00AM hour:
Time to chug water and work all day! Actually, I just sip water when I drink from a glass in lieu of my jug.
10:00am hour:
I was about to say I haven’t cried yet but that’s not true because there was a segment on the news interviewing young widows who lost their husbands to Covid and I immediately called Henry and begged him not to die. I hate that he still has to go to work but at least he’s largely working alone at his job. Sigh.
Speaking of Covid, we always get Chooch some type of Frozen or Disney Princess shit for Xmas to piss him off. This past Xmas he got Frozen hand sanitizer in his stocking:
11:00AM hour:
Chooch made cookies last night & I’m trying not to eat them all so I’m making coffee instead god help me.
Action shot of Chooch eating a cookie while making lunch in my 2005 Coachella hoodie which he has co-opted into his wardrobe.
NOON HOUR:
Chooch was added to some spam/scam group message and just CANT HELP HIMSELF. Some guy included in this group actually called Chooch yesterday and threatened to turn him in lol good job Chooch.
They both lay under the church pew all day because the heat vent is there lol.
Also I had soup for lunch and it was ugly so I didn’t take a picture.
1:00PM HOUR:
I HAVE WAITED FIVE YEARS FOR THIS. BOUGHT IT. SO STOKED.
Drew approves.
2:00PM HOUR:
I bought chooch this Keith Haring Swatch for getting good grades bc he loves Keith Haring.
C: Why do you want this picture
M: because I’m posting a picture every hour on my blog.
C: wow. That’s really interesting. I’m glad I asked.
3:00PM HOUR:
OMG GET DOWN.
4:00PM HOUR:
Hello? IT’S FOR YOU.
5:00PM HOUR:
It’s Valentine Time! Well I technically have 30 minutes left at my day job then I can help. Henry is on his own for now lol (which he’s used to!).
Vegan egg salad & sides from Zenith! Picnic vibes.
6:00PM HOUR:
Needed steps so I walked to the teen center to meet Chooch (he goes twice a week – they have tight Covid regulations and every one wears a mask) and that was dumb because now I can’t feel my hands.
7:00PM HOUR:
Getting in some pages before it’s time to exercise!
8:00PM HOUR:
Starting phase 2 of Body Revolution! Love Jillian so much.
9:00PM HOUR:
Back at it!
10:00PM HOUR:
Time to start winding down, according to my FitBit!
Korean practice time!
Chooch is going through a box of Henry’s grandma’s recipe collection, some of which are cut out of magazines so that’s fun.
Well I have to rejoin the Valentine assembly line so peace out. This was…mildly fun. Well, not fun, but…
