Today I woke up with no motivation to wake up. It was one of those days when I couldn’t function as a human being, so I called in sick and decided to take the day off. I acknowledged that I wasn’t okay, and that just for today, I’ll give in to the blues so that tomorrow, I’ll be better.

I woke up close to 4pm already, and prepared for a scheduled dinner with my old team. I’m glad this was planned ahead because I needed people to pull me out of the hole I dug myself in today. We had a great dinner (shout out to Los Tacos), followed by desserts at Crepe Glazik. For a few hours I was able to laugh, and I was also able to share with them my thoughts the past few weeks about life (what it’s like crossing over to the 40s – yikes!).  We imagined different scenarios of how our lives would have been in an alternate universe. We also talked about our plans for the near future and what we’ll do to achieve them (desperate times call for desperate measures). It was the pick-me up I needed.

Anyway, here are some photos of dinner.

After we parted ways, I walked around the mall a bit and bought a case for my Switch 2, as well as this game that was introduced to me by a friend when I visited them in Australia! Question is – who do I play this with? 😂

Now I’m trying to fall asleep because tomorrow is another day. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t stop for us, no matter what we go through. So yeah, time to face the music again tomorrow. I just hope that people will be kind, work will be manageable, and that I wake up feeling better, with more energy and zest for life than today. Because today really sucked for whatever reason.

Ending today’s post with this song. Sorry Hikki, I couldn’t fight the blues today.

じゃ、おつかれ!
