So I wanted to find a way to insert a calendar plugin here, but I lost patience. And so I will document my tasks with the next best available option, bullets!

• 10am:
  • Wake up to alarm set somewhere between 8-9 hrs after I decide to sleep.
• 10am – 12:15pm:
  • Proceed to snooze about 13 times (at 5 minute intervals) before deciding to set an alarm for noon.
  • Why? Because a psychic had told me the day before to, “pay attention to your dreams. They are one way for your past lives to communicate with you.” At least I tried.
• 12:15pm – 12:45pm:
  • Get up, brush my teeth, wash my face…
  • Spend 15 minutes playing trying to domesticate weird hair that grows quicker in the middle.
  • Wear the same clothes I wore the day before.
  • Read some Disney music on the piano and sing a little.
• 12:45pm – 1:05pm:
  • Leave for psychiatrist appointment believed to be scheduled for 1pm.
  • My self-projected ETA? 1:02pm. Oh well.
  • Despite it being 103 degrees outside, lower the window and sing (quietly) along with a few Taeyeon songs.
  • Discover that my appointment was not entered in correctly, but get lucky and slip into a 3pm slot.
• 1:05pm – 1:45pm:
  • Sit in the parking lot and wonder how to meditate, ultimately deciding that 92MB was too much data to use on a (“the best”) meditating app.
  • Drive two minutes to the psychic shop I had gone to the day before.
  • Loiter approximately 10 yards from the entrance because I will not be associated with sketchy psychic shops. Hmph!
    
  • Shift from thin lamp post to skinny tree to appear like I knew what I was doing.
  • After about 20 minutes, find the ideal chance to edge up to the door—only to find that no one is in.
• 1:45pm – 2:15pm:
  • Quickly remove myself from the area and proceed to evacuate… to the left! Now what places do I know in this direction… aha! Proceed to head toward a movie rental store I remember visiting weeks before.
  • Realize how much sweat is about to show through my shirt, so immediately (but stealthily) transfer it from my chest and back to my khakis.
  • Enter the cozy, antique-like, sophisticated establishment sophisticated-ly.
  • Loiter for 20 minutes while appearing to look interested at the movies, feel satisfied with the state of my body and my shirt, pick two movies filed in the “kids and family” section out of guilt, and decide my work here is done.
• 2:15pm – 2:30pm:
  • Make my way back to the psychiatrist’s parking lot (two minute drive and all), decide that idling the car for sub-par AC was not worth it, and head into the building.
  • Get my routine vitals checked (weight, height, blood pressure, height)
  • Rest for just shy of ten minutes before being surprised that psychiatrist is free at the moment and wants to begin the meeting now.

At this point, my sister has returned from her Walmart shift, and I am realizing how long this is taking to type (45 minutes and counting)…

• 2:30pm – 3:25pm:
  • The psychiatrist declares that we are going to develop my curiosity quotient, because my mind is too utilitarian.
• 3:25pm – 6:30pm:
  • Turn on Uber and proceed to get lucky and make $84.92 from at total of four trips, five passengers, and three hours of being online. There is one passenger that I believe will not be forgotten easily.
  • Decide to go to the library, in order to begin my daily posts.
• 6:30pm – 8:45pm:
  • Pick up a book on the hold shelf (“A Briefer History of Time” by Stephen Hawking) and beeline to the computer lab in the basement.
  • Look up curiosity quotient.
  • Try to write a post, sidetrack to edit the “about” page, and get electronically kicked off the computer (the library closes at 9pm) before finishing.
  • Head towards the exit, but not before giving the nonfiction shelves a cursory glance, and luckily see “Give and Take” by Adam Grant. Hesitate to take it, but due to liking his other book “Originals”, take it.
• 8:45pm – 9:30pm:
  • Decide to go buy cheap $0.17 notebooks from Walmart and visit sister at the same time.
  • Buy frozen pizza, get notebooks, and self-checkout while asking sister what time her shift is over.
• 9:30pm – 10:57pm (present):
  • Bake the pizza, cut said pizza, and turn on old macbook pro to write a post.
  • Eat and type until now, as a computer timer ticks signalling :54 seconds until automatic shut-down.

This is fun. I have an appointment with the psychic tomorrow at 5:30pm.

I hit the publish button just as log-off occurred, so I had to check if it worked (on my phone). And alas it works, but I found typos… and so I fixed them. But then I couldn’t just act like I hadn’t fixed them, and so this paragraph exists. Oh the discomfort, how I must learn to live with it… :]

Goodnight.
