A few good things:
1. Had a coffee date with my wife! After 8+ years I’m still unreasonably excited to go on coffee dates with her.
2. Had a delicious claypot rice meal at Bow Hon in SF Chinatown
3. Spoke Teochew / Chiu Chow to a few aunties in Chinatown
4. Nobody laughed at my Cantonese today
5. Had a beautiful walk around some local parks with friends. Some days I’m really mad at this city, other days it’s hard to be mad at it
6. Remembered to send my mom money for Mothers Day (Chinese gift giving be like that. Just money. Everything else is nonsensical)
7. Got delicious cherries from the farmers’ market
8. Developed 5 rolls of film, scanned 1
A few weeks ago I did not have time or headspace for even one of the above.
I’m thankful. Still stressed, but thankful.
