I think the timer system actually is working out fine. It allows me to work on stuff but also fluctuate when needed.

Since I didn't have an appointment, I don't want to waste my work timer at all so I am considering streaming.

Its odd to think, " Yea, I have time for that. " I mean it was always written into the plan so I don't know why I am surprised.

I have to prepare minimally thanks to all the optimizing I did before that one day. I've eaten and I made the smart choice of making tea instead of coffee.

Yes, I think I'll prepare for that now.

I called my mom and organized a time for everything.

I need to call Teresa next because I think I am going to take her up on the gym. It is probably one of those things that I don't really want to do but will be glad I did once I go.

I only have 30 minutes on the work computer, I am already making more noodles. It's a stress response after talking to everyone.

I probably need to stand outside and absorb some of the sun.

Something is telling me water and tea are my current tasks despite whatever is written down. I need to prepare a lot of water, and I have been thinking that for a while. I was surprised at how quickly mom gathered water.

I didn't force myself to eat the noodles at the table. They are so spicy even with the cottage cheese. I think Umqua cottage cheese is good but I think it is lacking in something that the lucerne cottage cheese does to cool down spiciness.

I am listening to the Egyptian music still. It feels like a window a little bit if I still think of myself as an ancient scribe.

I am actually really content and I think the spice is opening up my sinuses so it was actually sort of intuitive eating.

My job now will be to gather water. I need to pour the water into a filtering system, so it can become potable. I can maybe get a gallon a day. The irony is that I can easily take a shower but to drink it, it is a lot of work.

If I think of it that way, my life is actually very simple. I am an Aquarius.

I have only a little time to work right now. I love the couch.

I shut the window to that other world for a moment and came back to admiring what is actually outside.

What are in those woods?

I offered Sebastian a hike but he didn't want to do it. He actually got sick so I understand why. I think I need to be ok with having my opinion on things and not worry about whether it is appropriate or not.

I finished my spicy noodles and enjoying the sun as if that is my reward.

Watching the cars go by is sort of odd, it happens to be a little bit of a busy road surprisingly.

I am very satiated. I need to go to the bathroom soon but I am enjoying sitting here for a bit with the bright light of outside flooding into the room.

Very good.

There seems to be two worlds. One of Pleasure and one of Toil. I have been in the pleasure realm for too long. I ran out of time for both computers. But some how I also simultaneously ahead of time? Since I have to wait to do laundry at 6pm.
