This morning I made myself a maple chai tea, and it turned out really good. I only added a teaspoon of maple syrup—just enough to sweeten it without overpowering the chai. You could still taste both the chai and the maple. I forgot to add vanilla extract, but honestly, it still tasted great. I even…

My room overlooks the driveway, so I can see when anyone pulls in. That’s why I spent the whole morning in there with my laptop, keeping an eye out for the pest control team. I worked while also glancing out the window— for hours. Eventually, Kel called the pest control after I mentioned they still…

Tommy was cleaning out his car’s center console and found a couple of black tea packets tucked in there. I’m guessing they only got there in the past few days, so they should still be good. I might make myself a London Fog with one of them later. Right now, though, I’m just sipping on…

My doctor’s appointment took us an hour to get to, and the actual visit lasted all of five minutes. CT scans really are that quick. It’s wild that they couldn’t schedule me in the city, especially since it’s the same hospital system. My ENT appointment in October is also at the same place where I…

I have therapy today, and I thought I’d talk about how I don’t give myself a break. Even though it’s been 11 years since I left an abusive relationship, I still feel guilty—like I was the one causing harm. There’s a clear divide between what I know and what I feel: I don’t give myself…

Suddenly, many people on TikTok are talking about Gilmore Girls Fall, and I can’t help but laugh at how an old show like that is taking over again. It makes sense, though—the cozy, small-town vibe and witty banter are perfect for autumn. I used to never miss an episode when it was on TV, and…

I finished Summer in the City last night. It was a cute, fun read, though the ending dragged on a bit too long. There were several moments where I thought it was wrapping up, only for the author to add more drama and stretch things out. The main character frustrated me at times—her pride and…

I got home a few hours ago and jumped into coding. At first, I felt a little lost—overwhelmed by the multitude of tasks I needed to accomplish. A few minutes and a cup of coffee helped me get grounded. Starting late in the day always makes it harder to focus, and that’s usually when procrastination…

Around 10 a.m., I always get hungry. The problem is, I still have two hours to wait until lunch. I’m making some hot tea to hold me over. I’ve already had two cups of coffee, and I don’t think my stomach would appreciate another. I boiled some eggs for my lunchtime ramen, which I’ve been…

It’s a gloomy, rainy day, and I love it. The rain always brings me a sense of calm. It’s not that I don’t enjoy the sun, but there’s something peaceful about the quiet, gray sky and the steady sound of rain. It feels cozy, too. I’ve got a cup of coffee by my side and…
