[0:54]Please ignore all the boxes we have here. We still haven't really set up our entryway since we moved in. So it's just still filled with a little bit of boxes, but I am about to head out and this is my outfit of the day. I just have something very simple on because it's raining a lot right now. Whenever I wear this jacket, I get a lot of compliments on it. It's from Gap and it's kind of like this oversized rain jacket. It also has a hood, which is perfect for today, because I'm going to need it. Underneath all this, I just have a plain long sleeve t-shirt. Something simple. All right, so let's go.
[2:00]When I'm here, I usually get the Earl Grey matcha, regular sweetness with whole milk. And Matt gets the Hojicha latte with no sweetness at all. Well, he does add the cream puff.
[3:34]I've just been chilling since we came back from the market and just walking around and I don't know what it is these days, but I feel like any sort of movement is really exhausting. If that makes sense, like I just feel really exhausted. I kind of feel like it's because I'm lacking vitamin D and there hasn't been really much of a sunny day for a while and it's just been really gloomy and rainy. Obviously, like living in Seattle, I've heard of seasonal depression and I feel like I never understood it, but I think going on to my fourth winter here, I finally get it. Like I really crave just sunbeam hitting my skin right now. And we just won't get that for a while. Uh, I just want to go somewhere warm and nice with a lot of sun. Just something that I am currently thinking of right now. It's like 8:50 right now, so I am just on my laptop. Howl finally left, he's sleeping somewhere else. I'm just like catching up with my friends right now. A lot of my friends like live out of state unfortunately. So the best way to just like communicate is just like random burst of messages, um, if you know, you know, and right now we're just talking about music and songs and stuff like that.
[5:52]So somehow I got sick. I think I feel a lot better now. I'm still feeling kind of groggy and my throat still hurts. I have no appetite. My sinuses feel a bit, you know, like loaded right now. I don't know if that's the right word, but I feel a lot of pressure on my sinuses, hence like I feel pressure on my eyes, but, um, basically I got sick somehow. I did kind of lurk on some Reddit pages in Seattle and apparently there's like a really nasty flu going around and hopefully it's nothing worse than just like a common cold that I have right now. It's just a lot on my body right now. Yesterday I did set up a lamp. That was like the only productive thing that I did. Today I think I'm going to do the same, just kind of like have a chill day at home and rest as much as I can. Whenever I'm sick, I drink Theraflu. I don't know if you guys heard of that, but it's basically like this packet that you make a tea out of and I just like mix honey and lemon. I had one already in the morning, so I'll have one later in the afternoon.
[7:00]Since I'm sick, I kind of just want to do a lot of activities that are offline and the first thing that came to mind is I got this frame um, a couple weeks ago and I just haven't really been doing anything with it. And I recall that I have these like cute photo booth pictures that we took at Pike Place Market um, earlier in the year, so I thought maybe I should just set it up today. I've been seeing people online, they only cut out like one of these photos and just place like one on a frame, but I just can't commit to which photo I want to cut off. Plus I don't really want to like separate any of these photos, so I think I'm just going to like layer it on top. It's the same set of photos, just one's in black and white and the other is colored.
[8:04]So this frame is actually supposed to go right where Howl is right now. He's at the top of his cat tower, which normally doesn't happen that often. Um, so I guess I'll just have to hang it up later because I don't want to bother him and he's very sensitive to noise, but just imagine this is going to be hung up on that wall.
[8:52]It's finally a sunny day. Wow.
[9:28]Please excuse my messy hair. I haven't done anything to it yet, but it's the next day, so I'm going to finally put up the new picture frame that I set up yesterday. Also on an unrelated note, the sun came out and it feels so nice. I'm kind of sad that I'm still feeling really sick. I do want to take advantage of this weather and just go for a little walk. Maybe just like a 20 minute walk or something, and then get a pastry at a cafe, just get some fresh air. But first, let's do this. I actually think it'll look good over here.
[10:05]Maybe like this.
[10:16]Cute.
[10:22]Okay, so I just called my hair. I put on a very cozy, comfy outfit for the day. I think I'll go and just do some quick admin work. I know if I'm out longer than an hour, I think I'm not going to really feel that well because I feel like the medicine is just kicking in right now. Yeah, and maybe I'll just do some journaling as well.
[10:45]And there we go.
[12:42]Today is a very exciting day because I'm going to my very first ceramics class. Well, technically it's not my first ceramics class. I did ceramics for an entire year when I was in high school. But that was like 10 years ago, so I don't even know if I would remember how to do a lot of things. So I'm taking a standalone introductory class that does wheel throwing as well as hand building, because I've never done anything hand building related before. Also, sorry, um, I got a lot of notifications just now, but yeah, I'm really excited. Like, I'm actually quite nervous to go to this class and I think I'm starting to get nerves and I think it's just because um, it's like a new thing that I've kind of introducing myself to again, like a new hobby. Being in a new environment, new setting, meeting strangers. Um, I feel kind of nervous, but I think that's like a good feeling to have in general. I'm just in a really good mood. Like I feel a lot better today. Like I don't feel sick at all this morning. Um, my childhood best friend just messaged me saying that she's going to be visiting Seattle in June and of course she's going to stay with me. I'm like forcing her to stay with me, like she has no option. And then I'm going to my first ceramics class after a really long time. It's like technically my first art class I'm taking as an adult. Um, which is maybe why I feel really nervous because, you know, I'm an adult. I don't know if I could, you know, if my skills from when I was younger will transfer to when I'm older, but I don't know. I just feel like it's a really good day and the sun is out. Um, it's really sunny here, so I'm just going to have a really nice day and I'm going to take you guys along with me to the ceramics class. I honestly don't know what to expect, but I'm just really excited, so I'm going to get dressed soon and then head over there.
[15:37]Second try.
[15:42]I think I did.
