We still don’t know what this mystery illness is. Could be covid, could be something else. My own theory was that it’s a pathogen that has been frozen in glacial ice since time immemorial and has only now been released due to global warming. Roommate’s theory was that it’s the bubonic plague. I coul...
11:58 PM I'm back from the gym. I was working out a few minutes ago, and I did an hour's worth of dumbbell exercises. The exercises were pretty hard, they tired me out and I sweated a decent amount. I don't know if I'll gain any strength from this though, as the heaviest dumbbell weights are only 2...
11:59 PM My entry from a few nights ago was a mess. I have kept journal entries since 2010 when I was 16 years old, and honestly, reading my entry from last night took me back to those earlier days because the entry was so immature and was just all over the place. In 2010 when I was in 10th grade...
Yesterday before roommate's weekend d&d session I gave him a cough drop, and he set it down on the table and did not eat it, and coughed all through the session. Today I learned he DOESN’T KNOW HOW COUGH DROPS WORK!! He was like “Well, you didn’t give me a drink. It’s like a pill, right?” So I ...
11:55 PM I think today was a good day. Again, I really barely remember any of it. Last night I said I was going to go to the gym, but that turned out to be a lie. I ended up not going to the gym. Maybe I'll go to the gym tonight? We'll see. Nope. I just asked my dad for the key to the gym, and he s...
11:40 PM It kind of seems like the day just goes by so quickly when you are working. It doesn't feel like anything got done, even though you completed some work tasks and earned some income. I'm turning 31 in a month and I still feel like my days are just going by without getting much done. It sti...
Ignoring roommate’s constant advice to “mask up or cask up,” I spent most of the Iceland trip maskless, and then fell sick upon returning home. oops!!! Sunday afternoon I had a mild sore throat. By Tuesday it had progressed to a moderate sore throat with fits of dry coughing, runny nose, mild flu-li...
1:08 AM (of Wednesday, August 7th, 2024) Today is Tuesday, August 6th, 2024. I don't know what to say about today. I fell asleep at around 5 AM and woke up at around 10 AM, so I only got around 5 hours of sleep. The rest of the day, I was just on my computer, but I barely remember anything that I d...
Back home. Walked in the door Saturday night at around 11:45 pm and immediately started bagging trash left on the counters (so many empty pasta boxes and 7up bottles…). Gathered up three full bags of trash, not counting the already-full kitchen trash, and wiped down the kitchen countertops. Is it we...
2:04 AM (of Tuesday, August 6th 2024) Today is Monday, August 5th 2024 and I stayed in Philadelphia from yesterday (Sunday) until today (Monday). I went there with my parents, and it was a 3 hour drive from our home in Virginia to Philadelphia. One complaint I have is that I would have preferred to...
1:05 AM (of Sunday, August 4th 2024) Today is Saturday, August 3rd 2024 and I'm back in Virginia again as of Thursday, August 1st. Prior to heading out to Virginia, I went to the gym again with Eric, and just Eric, Gus wasn't around and neither was Guy. I did the most workouts I've ever done, I thi...
We started the day with a long walk along the volcanic cliffs in the company of 5000 screaming seagulls. Green and gold and black and white—Coigreach colors, or maybe Natron colors if you factor in the blue of the water and pretend it’s way warmer. As we paused to enjoy the view, F told us that ther...
