My sweet potato is done cooking in the microwave. I guess I should eat that. I can clean after I am done with breakfast.

I think that is a thing too, I have been taking my time eating food. I have been really enjoying my time in my apartment and my three computer, lol.

The computers are the high tech part of it, but my human body is living some sort of sedentary life style similar to that of a Victorian lady.

I also feel magic creeping in from outside. I want to take advantage with another gummy but I dunno. I only have 10 doses left so, I shouldn't be greedy.

i feel like a little kid eating this sweet potato. I want to curl up on the couch with a blanket.

I popped another gummy in and brought the blanket out to the couch. I know I can't stay on the couch but I feel like the couch is better than laying in the bed at least.

A part of me feels like I should just down my coffee quickly and get to work but this other part of me is enjoying the heck out of just being bundled up and sitting on the couch.

I am worried my sense of Japanese is not the same. In this day and age, communication is scattered so much. I mean we get enough of it to be adequately stimulated but it is not connected at all.

Perhaps that is why my sense of Japanese is not there, the media I am consuming is not allowing me to have a steady sense of the language.

I feel something inside me, is this a kundalini awaking? hmm..

Right now I am focused on getting water. The coffee is delicious but I need water I am pretty sure, or I feel like I need to save a bunch of water for later.

I opened the windows.

I started turning off all the lights in the house because I was like, " free light! "

It is still a little gloomy. My mom is listening to Yanni for some reason but I am not mad, it feels like a 80's video game.

I have that stupid appointment to go to on zoom with Andrew. I am annoyed with it. But it is actually fairly painless.

It wasn't bad, I just told him some lies and got on with it. It sort of helps to open up to him even if I am keeping some things to myself still.

There are flies in the house now, it is annoying. I did enjoy seeing my little sister but I really wish it didn't mean flies in the house.

Almost time for my next appointment. A part of me wants to pop in another gummy but i can wait an hour while she's gone.

Mom brought a quiche, it was good. I was grateful for food.

I want to lay down mostly right now.

I am very annoyed by everyone right now, I almost don't want to see Keely. Perhaps I should pop a gummy to just be in a better mood.

I guess since I lost my game on Mobile Legends bang bang. That's actually not important, I need to make that power point presentation now, even if Keely comes, I need to work on it earnestly.

I am just going to type now as my stomach is sort of upset and I need to eat or take the antiacid.

I am just going to keep writing until this is finished since it is almost done and I can work on the Japanese entries after this. I need to get to the work and school computer.
