Recent things: developing an intense interest in sandwiches, throwing myself in the pool at 6.30am every morning, collecting strawberries from the garden, reading in my car, making brekki at work, reading Jonathan Franzen's Freedom over the space of two weeks (still unfinished!), and hanging out with friends in bars and cafes more than my income technically allows.

Today has come teeteringly close to being good. So far, I've:

Jumped into the pool at 6.30am with B (cold water immersion club ftw)

Listened to the new Binchtopia episode on my way to work

Worked 8-2 north of the city

I received my delivery of seaweed snacks <3

Went to Strange Grains bakery and bought a gourmet sandwich and loaf of bread on my lunch break with E

J got me my favourite kombucha on her lunch break

Picked up a reservation from the library (and about five other books)

Did two loads of washing and put washing away

Dusted and mopped the floors

Changed the kitty litter

Cleaned out the fridge

Went for a 35-minute walk to reach 10k steps

Unpacked by bag from last wkd down south

Organised plans to meet with a friend tomorrow after work

Discovered another Huberman podcast I haven't listened to

I still need to:

Prep for meeting with A tmr

Make lunch for work tmr

Book accommodation for Tokyo

The main reason today hasn't been Objectively Good is because I still haven't done any actual PhD work which is looming over me and making me want to crawl into a hole and die. I will make progress soon? I hope? Maybe? Fuck

making the most benign moments the signposts by which i'll live my life. keep going till i see a toddler running through the supermarket. keep going until i catch dew on the grass. keep going until the cherry blossoms start heaping all over the cars parked by the verge. keep going until i see a robin by the train tracks. keep going until i get a warm apple crumble. keep going till i get to admire the cashier's eye makeup. keep going till the bus driver says "thanks, lovey". keep going till i hear rain in the morning. keep going till i peel a perfect boiled egg. keep going till i press a warm mug of tea to my cheek........keep going until until until until until until
