I am so happy and grateful that Kim Chi is eating again and starting to look like normal. Soon she will be running around like crazy and chasing Cap. Cap has been trying to play with her but she hasn’t been interested.
I am so happy and grateful that today I can grab coffee at 22 Grams in the city. We have to take Kim Chi to the vet, hopefully for the last time. Thankfully, she is starting to eat again and acting more like she normally does. Due to Covid, I haven’t been going out to have coffee so it’s a positive that 22 Grams is close to the vet.
The best thing about today was laying lazily in Amy’s arms (or she was in mine), naked, aircon dreaming, drifting, relaxing – purposefully relaxing. It was a very nice feeling once I could strip away things I had to do, supposed to do or wanted to do.
I am so happy and grateful to my cousin Sharon. She sent me an email on my mum’s birthday with a picture of her garden and a plant my mum gave her.
I am so happy and grateful that when the internet people came yesterday they didn’t charge us anything despite it obviously being our fault. Maybe we have a premium service or something but anyway, it was a pleasant surprise especially as Amy said that I would have to pay for it (and not her!).
I should get back to you but I’ve been lazily enjoying my ‘holiday’. If not going to work means staying at home for me, I need to make sure I do something to maintain the good habits I have started when I do go to work.
I am so happy and grateful that the internet people can come and fix our internet so quickly after I accidentally cut our cable when clipping things down in our garden. I am ok without the internet but it does make me realise just how much we use it in our day-to-day lives.
I am so happy and grateful that today I can go out and buy coffee at Utopia – takeaway only. Usually, I would go there every day when on holiday but due to our home quarantine we’ve been going out as little as possible. No instant coffee for me this morning.
I am so happy and grateful to visit Amy’s mum and dad last night – even though I was tired and concerned that we had sick Kim Chi with us it was good to get out of home and especially good to see her grandmum looking well.
They are building a karaoke/entertainment room and a new garage so it looks like a lot of changes going on there.
I am so happy and grateful that Kim Chi seems finally to be getting over her cold. It had me worried for a while that it was something more serious – she wasn’t eating because she couldn’t smell and not sleeping well because she couldn’t breathe. Usually, she is crazy and playful but this time she was quiet and docile. Thankfully she seems to be slowly recovering.
I am so happy and grateful for this crazy book ‘The Infinite Jest’ I have no idea what is going on but finding it very readable. The writing really digs down into the way the mind thinks so it’s easy to empathise with the characters. It’s a challenging read but ultimately becoming a favourite. And I’m grateful for the online Lit Notes that can help me understand it more.
4th June 2023 – I was also reading other things but it took me around 18 months to finish reading this. I also wanted to immediately start reading it again!
I am so happy and grateful for this light breeze pushing air through the house. It’s hot and sticky and this breeze feels deliciously cool.
