Mood/activities/thoughts: (night) Was quite an eventful weekend. Went to have dinner with M on Friday at the Coop (outdoors) and ate about 6 hefty soy garlic wings plus lots of yummy sweet potato fries and a Stella. Then we rode my bike home, and he enjoyed it a lot. We did an unboxing of my laptop sleeve, and my new Tarot of the Divine! It is such a nice deck. I need to read up on it before bed, even though it’s already 10:30 and I work at 8:30 no worries! Then he left to go home to city. I went hiking the next day with my HS girls and had a ton of fun catching up, doing silly poses, braiding their hair, and sharing snacks and stories. It was probably close to 10+ miles total, from 8 AM to about 3:15 PM. I was so sore (thighs, knees, toes, heel) by the end it was crazy… I feel old for real now..never did my knees feel pain like this. It didn’t seem too much climbing, but then we realized we did a lot of uphill the whole initial way to the lakes. 2 lakes and a waterfall = success. We went to mitsuwa after, and I got onigiri for fam and m, bubble tea for me and may, ramen packets (2), and candy (hichew, yogurt hichew, grape gummy). Yum!! Went home and had steak dinner with mom dad, and M had come over right when I returned home from hiking at 7 as well. So we ate, and he ate my onigiri (spicy tuna) as well. The fam ate theirs today and loved it 🙂 So I’m happy. After food, I went to M’s place for the night til sunday. I had gotten my new leggings too, they felt so comfy!! Only $8!! Lovely. It was less than 2 weeks too.
In the morning, M made me a tasty waffle filled with PB and maple syrup and I chowed it down before working with Brandon and charles for an hour. Then we decided to get lunch, and M had done his laundry while I worked too. Yay that was efficient timing. I am proud of him and I really appreciated his effort (esp making me my yummy waffle!). We got zen ramen and he paid too. I got spicy tonkatsu and he got the regular tonkatsu with extra noodle. We watched overlord (ww2 and nazi zombies) movie, and it was thrilling, and very good overall. Then somehow I knocked out after it, and so did he. We woke up and it was 5 PM (mom had called). Wow, that was crazy food coma and just my soreness/headache/lack of sleep probably finally caught up to me. Haha. then started to get ready to head back home, while he would get his alcohol and dinner. I accompanied him, and he accompanied me to the bus stop, very sweet and caring. I appreciated that a lot, and how he tried to kick open the front door of the bus LMFAO the bus driver was like keep this closed please, and I went through the back doors as usual for the 44. Lmao. Was a good weekend, and he was very considerate and loving, minus our little attitude on the walk home sat night, and finding out that he had lied about coming to me thru bus when he took an uber..I wish he would just tell me the truth and stop assuming I’d be a certain way and use that to choose lying instead. I really wish he could just say the truth regardless of the impact. Had a lovely dinner with family tonight. We ate and talked and laughed about calling me and syl “yan hong” and “lee xia” lmfao. Good times. Just sad how little time we get together nowadays and how we are all getting older, especially dad and mom 🙁 immediately makes me emotional when I think about that. sigh. Anyway, gotta keep earning and treating them right.

Just made some candles earlier as well with my new tiny 2 oz jars!

Tarot Card: four of swords, reversed

Notes on card: you need to withdraw from the external world, retreat and get some rest, maybe coming out of a period of solitude instead, healing after bad relationship..or things getting so bad you’re losing faith in general for relationships, going back to work after some time off, unhappy with job, running low on energy*, wanting to do all at once*

Reflection: I definitely did a lot all weekend, that today was mainly a rest day. That hike tired me out like crazy, I am getting old. I needed the rest recovery day today. But what a perfect weekend overall. Socializing and time to self now. Maybe I need more time to do hobbies though. After work I suppose. Hoping for a good work day tomorrow. Toodles
