Last year's Festive Feast Event was a fun celebration. I branched out from my bland diet and my basically empty fridge to go on a food spree to commemorate my mom. Pretty empty fridge I included photos in my post Festive, but those were from only the first half of The Event, and I had … Continue reading Festive Leftovers

Memento Mori
Day 365. It's been a year. It's the end, the last day. There was at least one point (like day 269) where I felt I wanted to keep going to see this through to the end, this daily writing which I ended up deciding to do for a year, until the anniversary, until today. Making … Continue reading Memento Mori
Oversized Chocolate Bar Day
Today is Oversized Chocolate Bar Day. "What?" one might ask. "Isn't it St. Patrick's Day?" Fret not; I shall explain. Exactly a year ago, I sent my therapist the following text messages. (My therapist replied saying that I've always tried to fade into the background and don't like to be noticed; that she thinks the … Continue reading Oversized Chocolate Bar Day
Festive
To eat, drink, and be merry—that's what you and I wanted for you. (I found it intriguing when you said the same phrase and I hadn't even mentioned it to you.) Yet you couldn't eat much, and in the end, you didn't drink or eat and merriment was hard to come by. So this month—especially … Continue reading Festive
Car
A few hours after having my car battery replaced on the side of the street (day 315), I realized that battery was the one that my mom had bought. I hadn't thought about it and felt sad that I hadn't gotten a picture of it. And when I realized, I kinda felt like I'd lost … Continue reading Car
2 5ths
Remember, remember the 5th of... January. In 2021, I made a blog post on January 5th, and in 2022 I made a related post on January 5th. I find it interesting how that occurred, so I'm doing so again, but this time intentionally. First, two years ago, I wrote the post Feariosity in which I … Continue reading 2 5ths
Days 271-272
Day 271: Rethinking my decision from day 270 of walking instead of driving. While making a pros and cons list (at midnight after being awake for an hour or so... not sure what's going on with my sleep schedule), learn that a place with free easy parking is supposed to be open despite it being … Continue reading Days 271-272
Days 214-218
Day 214: Another anniversary. Day 215: Walking followed by exercise (swish swish) followed by more feet-aching walking (wonder if all this walking is sustainable, not wanting my body to fall apart (see day 205)) and then some productivity at home after trying again to learn what I'm doing. Day 216: Wake up stressing about the … Continue reading Days 214-218
Days 208-213
Day 208: Coding. Mood declines. Take a nap. More coding into the night. Maybe not so much coding as trying to clean up the code. Day 209: Manage to get my writing juices flowing and write a super short story (that I find amusing) that I could expand on. Also more code cleaning until I … Continue reading Days 208-213
Days 200-207
Day 200: Paycheck deductions have me looking forward to getting out of here again. Day 201: Ye old depression. Day 202: More existential dread and depression. Day 203: Emotional breakdown of sorts in the morning followed by a milder mood and productive enough day. Moving my car, including the thought of needing to do so, … Continue reading Days 200-207
