Mindfulness

• How to be polite – Really enjoyed this article! I often think I’m a polite person in general, but recent car trips with my girlfriend have proven otherwise… This is inspiration to practice more patience and politeness, especially in the car and surrounded by idiots
• Being more considerate – I think I’m a pretty considerate person too. This article also resonated with me 🙂
• Putting things into incredible perspective. How do I continue life with this in mind?

• “But the 8-hour workday is too profitable for big business…because it makes for such a purchase-happy public. Keeping free time scarce means people pay a lot more for convenience, gratification, and any other relief they can buy.”

• Or build this house. Then all the cats will want to come hang out. Right?
• Pup does not want to go home yet. He’s not ready.

Weekly Life Checklist: August 11 – 17

Let’s shoot for another A this week, hoping to get some bonus points and definitely some creativity points this week!

47.5 / 45 = 106%, A++, did better than I thought!

“Lazy Sunday” Date Day

Sunday 8-17 BL
1) Babes got up so early so I kinda did too. We got up and went for Life Alive and talked about feminism, more specifically, how stupid dumb girls pose for pictures. We sat outside on City Hall Lawn again and talked about dirty nasty birds “hey we’re eating” and other things.

2) Food shoppins at the Co-op and got a few meals worth of food. Got home and realized we have all the food and leftovers that we really need to eat up. Gonna try and not buy any other food this week. We’ll see how that goes. We talked about life priorities and what needs are the most important to us. Things are gonna change schedule-wise so I’m trying my best to prepare for it. Sucks that I totally did read about this way back and I knew deep down that this was gonna be how it is, but I didn’t realize that it was gonna happen so soon.

3) Lunch #2 for cutie and then we took a glorious nap for a few hours.

4) Tattoo time! We played tattoo parlor and drew our tatt ideas on each other. K did a real cool rainbow line on my left forearm and then ‘let it go’ on my right. I really want it in her handwriting but it’s not a great idea to do that even though her handwriting is the best and it’s so pretty. Maybe someday…I drew some ugly ass flowers on her sleeve in smelly markers and actually liked the sunflower quite a bit, but the daisies were shit. My concept rose turned out ok and my lettering was pretty good too.

5) Cooked dinner. Quinoa, potatoes, kale, garlic, and onions. So yummy! Babycakes is the best at making healthy vegan foods and it’s a good thing for me!

6) We had spa day, cucumber clay face masks and giggled at each other before separate 😦 showers.

7) Trolling the cutie for her naked girls in her ’email’ and gotta remember to ask about her secret paper and research on tattooed sexy ladies. Def gonna remember that one. Trolling K is pretty easy, she just digs that hole deeper and deeper… Yummy sexytime and sleep. I had a rough sleep and crazy dreams tho.

It All Works Out In The End

Saturday 8-16 BL
1) Brunch at Red Lentil was yummy. I was stuck in a negative feedback loop til I started writing some in the car. Still don’t get how and why she’s so patient with me, I’m terrible in a bad mood.

2) Limited cuddle time was hot and then baby had one of her rare moments of conflicting needs. Emotional blanket time, stalling and such before she angrily went to her zine fest event.

3) Met up with her there just as a zine girl came and chatted K up. She still doesn’t get that all the cute girls want a piece. We finished up and went across the street for chill time on City Hall’s lawn. Cuddled and ran out of time. Again!

4) S and M’s for M’s going away ‘surprise’ party. Weird and awkward and I just wanted to chill with my buddy S. Hotdogs and soydogs and such. Asian slaw, candy sushi. Conversation went from Poptarts, to Bschool and back to candy. I wonder what everyone thinks of us – the weirdos who come and don’t talk or drink and then leave early. Whatevs, I had lots of fun and they are good people.

Ohhh, that’s what they’re supposed to look like!

5) Home for sexytime, musics and yummy, much deserved and anticipated time with cutieface.

Koala Date To A Comedy Show

Friday 8-15 BL
1) Slept in hardcore. So bad when I have a day off, but at least I got some good sleep and lots of Tiny Death Star time.

2) El Pelon lunch date with cutie was fun. She’s the cutest, had on a cute navy brown outfit and we flaunted how cutie we were in the heart of straighstville BC. Creeps and breeders abound. El Pelon is so yummy!

3) Babycakes took me to the Funny or Die comedy show with headliner Louis CK at the Xfinity Center. Lots of grumbling from me about all the breeders and creeps before the show. Pedo guy from workaholics and his entire sexist rape culture bit. Hannibal Buress “Rap rap rap rap rappin’.” Sarah Silverman and feminism, talkin’ about vaginas. Amy Shumer and her deprecating body shaming boo fest. Louis CK, the cricket, being a dad, he was the best! Worst traffic and crying on the way home ruined things for me a bit.

So Much Gossip

Thursday 8-14 BL
1) Work today was not as much training, more job postings and then a long E chat about: Ferguson, MO Mike Brown, K and her work schedule this year, elections 2016, state of the union basically.

2) Lunch walk to HMart for chap jae. So cheap and healthy. Lots of txting today and missing babyface, dating advice to the sis, roomie finals, F chill time setting up.

3) Home for best nap ever, power nap 30 mins!

Cute kitty demonstrates power napping

4) F time & pet therapy. We watched a ton of Big Brother and ate Wendy’s and played Tiny Death Star.

When I’m Without

Wednesday 8-13 BL
1) Training day three I’m losing a little steam from all the talking and tired from all the early mornings. Dropped cutie off at her study because of the rain then went to Target for an umbrella. Ended up spending $$ for new pillows, a sheet set and ladyproducts. Random, but I was gonna end up buying more bedding eventually.

2) Izzy’s lunch and postings everywhere. Trying my best to find our last team member!

3) Home for potential roomie interviews. Two different individuals and they had interesting personalities. Google hangout with M, in person with J. I liked em both.

How to do?

4) Roomie time! Wine and B’s old roomie C. Chilled and got deep about gender and sex. Watched the Birdcage and went to bed! No cutie to cuddle tonight

Peeking Back And Forth In Time

Tuesday 8-12 BL
1) Training day two, calendar walkthrough and nerd sidebar with fashion, hedgehogs, nerdiness, and pants. Walking tour of the schools with more discussions about police brutality, religion and lots of other things!

2) Lunch at Bon Me, my fav, saw Mr Chan before a Patriots training camp. It was nice to see him again. D and I also talked about sports and life again.

3) Back to the office for talking about roles and responsibilities. Lots of new things to add to my plate, it’s what I get for opening my mouth. Haha, more like, I do so much that I forget how much I’m actually doing. Lots of coverage for our roles and responsibilities and we definitely do a lot of stuff!!

4) Drinks with coworkers at the Phoenix Landing! (Saw Ms. N too! what a crazy coincidence to see two people from my past volunteering in one day!) Fun and talked about social medias, Peace Corps, books, and whipped cream.

5) Chill time with my old coworker K at his house. He made some clam sauce and offered fresh clams for me to try. We bro out and it’s great. Fire near his house, his ridiculous landlord, coworkers, he asked about cutieface, his new work, Robin Williams passing, etc. My K came over for a bit and when we left she commented on how awkward he is. I don’t notice it and/or I feel so comfortable around him that it’s a non issue for me. We hung out for two years, figuring out life together, kind of and it’s cool to have a very great straightdude friend who I like and trust a lot.

6) Sushi dinner in bed in our underwear. We’ve reached that point in our relationship. It’s fantastic. Gonna miss babycakes the next few nights when she’s at her mother’s but it’s necessary training for the fall schedule we’ve got coming in a few weeks.

Just Like An Episode, But Wayy Better

Monday 8-11 BL
1) Dropped K off early and went into prep before D came in for training week! She’s very nice and it wasn’t as awkward as I thought it could’ve been. Walking tour of the neighborhood and she ran into people she knew from church! My boss E def said some things that were out there, but other than that it went pretty well.

2) I even came out to her at lunch at the Middle East, which was so yummy, with cutie next to me and she didn’t seem fazed (to our faces) about it and asked us some questions too. Lots of talking at her but it was ok and I think she’s gonna be a good fit for us.

3) Went home and had leftover dinner with roomie B and her friend L. We watched some of The L Word while I complained about how horrible the show is.

Sure they’re attractive, but some of them can’t even act

4) So we snuck off and took a yummy shower before an epic sexytime. Babycakes wanted a piece of me and she definitely got what she wanted 😮
