Chill Week | 21 February 2018
Wednesday, February 21, 2018
It's Wednesday.
It's chilly. Nearly record cold across the Bay Area this week. This comes after a warm and dry winter so far.
I was in LA for President's Day weekend (Feb 16-19). I had the house to myself; because my mom and uncle are both in the Philippines (my mom on her cruise). I joined Eric (and his bf Jason, along with Sara and Stad) for an escape room I met with Jenn and Ray to plan for next month's wedding ceremony. I also spent plenty of time with Juan, going out on Saturday and Sunday - WeHo Saturday night (with Alex and a group of gay bros including Eric, Alex R, Henry, William, and Markose), dim sum Sunday morning (with new friend Adriana), stopped by Juan's house, then back to my house, off to Westwood to pick up Alex and off to Eric's place for birthday games (Jackbox). Then went to dtla and drank at Redline (where I ended up leaving my credit card, and where Alex and Richie left together). Then walked to Precinct (it was lightly raining along the way), which was mostly empty. James and Juan had a little get together, and then Jose's party showed up. Adrian, Priscilla, Michelle, Naomi, Mo. The two groups merged together and it was fun.
Monday I had the whole day to myself. I went to Glendale, bought a 3V battery and watched Black Panther - AMAZING! Then rested at home, Netflixed a bit (Queer Eye), and then went to dinner with Chris and Michelle. We are old, lol! Good times to catch up with friends. So glad that Michelle's back in LA for good. And good quality time with friends all around - a successful weekend.
Tuesday, I woke up at 5:30 to get to the airport in time (my flight was at 8:30). It was cold. My Lyft driver was really friendly and interested to hear stories of my well-traveled life. I had a breakfast burrito and got on my flight, landing in Oakland and heading straight to work. I was exhausted and couldn't really focus all day. But I persevered, even without drinking any coffee. I also skipped lunch - because I wasn't hungry. I ended up fasting until today's lunchtime (over 24 hours). By fasting, I hope to unlock several health benefits and lose weight. I left work around 4:45 and got home and immediately laid down and soon slept. I ended up sleeping over 11 hours, with only a small break to watch the first episode of Netflix's One Day at a Time.
Today was a good day. I was well-rested. Made sure to bundle up. Podcasted on my way to work, and I was notified that my coworker had 2 free tickets to tomorrow's Warriors game (vs the Clippers) and I took them! I offered the second ticket to my flatmates, and Evelyn offered it to her sister (whose dream it was to see a Warriors game.) Because I had a call (Criteo) I had missed the lunch order. So I went to Panda Express and redeemed my 3-item combo coupon (taking the rest home for dinner). I'm counting my calories on My Fitness Pal and trying to stay within my 1570-calorie daily limit. Lazy afternoon, then back home (getting a forward-facing seat in an otherwise crowded BART train) to watch another episode of Queer Eye and One Day at a Time and Chris Rock's new comedy show.
Now I've grown accustomed to sleeping early, but I know I'm going to a basketball game tomorrow, so we'll see.
