sure. wait. what?

The plan was to post my May 2026 log tonight but I didn’t finish writing it so here we are.

I had a semi-busy day today. Semi, because it’s not quite busy – just sorta busy. Kinda busy. Busy adjacent.

Anyway, it was only medyo busy and not busy busy because I had to go to an event for work instead of the office. I thought my boss was going to be at the event too, but he ended up joining later in the afternoon.

So, for the first half of the day, I awkwardly walked around the exhibition halls all by myself while texting my friends and instigating them to instigate me to play hooky. It didn’t work because, well, I am simply not the type to play hooky.

I made a friend eventually (yay me!) and I tagged along with her as we grabbed goodies and swag from the different vendors and exhibitors. I was high-key exhausted by the end of the day, mostly from being surrounded by people even I didn’t necessarily talk to them.

When I got home, I had a quick call with my therapist, then I did some work work – like actual work because I obvs didn’t have time to read my emails while I was at the event – then I cooked dinner, I ate dinner, I tried to finish writing my May 2026 log (and obvs failed), I watched YouTube, I took a shower.

In the bathroom before taking a shower, I saw my reflection and thought, woah, are my workouts actually working? Are those…muscles? Do I look…good?

Delulu amp.

I am so tired y’all. It’s almost midnight and I need to go to the office tomorrow and go to the event later in the afternoon – oh, yes, my dears, it’s a week-long event. Most days I like being a corporate peon, and then I get reminded that corporate peons are expected to move up, to relinquish their peon-hood at some point, to do annoying-ass things like speak in front of people or speak to people. Ugh.

It’s past midnight now, which means I already missed my Tuesday deadline. And I am still only at 300+ words. Ugh.

What else can I say to make it to 500 words?

This week I’m going to a pottery thing and a swimming thing. I am low-key excited for both. Maybe a little more excited for swimming.

Tomorrow I’m pan-frying duck meat and making stir-fried pea tips for dinner. Kiwi and mangoes. Leftover miso soup. I might dine out on Thursday.

They say you need to get enough sleep to lose fat and develop muscles. I am for sure not getting enough sleep tonight.

Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy. How do I get to 500 words boy oh boy oh boy.

When I was much younger, I could easily wax poetic about the randomest shit whenever I forced myself to free-write. Now this is the kind of shit I come up with. Surface-level word vomit shit.

Okay, wow, it’s 12:30pm. I might just turn into a zombie right about now.
