1. What did you do on Monday?
Ran bank errands and resisted the urge to get a sweet iced beverage. Bought a plain white cotton shirt and plain black cotton shorts because it's summer and because most of my t-shirts are Uniqlo which are awful for summer.
2. What did you do on Tuesday?
Got teary over Witch Hat Atelier ep3. It's the episode where Coco takes the first trial. The anime paced it so beautifully, added scenes of Coco's mom to emphasize her ever-present absence in Coco's life, and scored everything with well-timed and truly moving music. The ending sequence shows you how Qifrey's apprentice uniforms are put on and that too was moving.
3. What did you do on Wednesday?
Received omiyage from my brother who just came back from a trip to Kyoto: ~sakura fromage~ chocolate from Royce (v. interesting!) and a Uniball Zento (retractable/click gel pen). The barrel is wider than the Uniball One. I vaguely recognize the Zento line being award-winning but I'm not nerdy enough about stationery to understand why.
4. What did you do on Thursday?
At noon, I heard an unusually noisy maya (Eurasian tree sparrow) whose chatter was so loud and incessant a yellow-vented bulbul came to take a look (it left immediately). Found out that the target of its yelling was a fledgling which might have fallen off the nest. The fledgling was motionless at that time so I thought the adult was calling everyone's attention to its dead offspring, but when I checked again at sunset I saw the fledgling flapping its wings, toddling around, and meeping in the direction of where its parents presumably were, somewhere higher up. Parent and child are now nowhere in sight, but it was funny seeing the adult visit its wayward child every now and then to yell at it (after feeding it). # tough parenting
...I also put away my laundry!!! It's a big deal because I needed to arrange my closet and re-fold clothes (I am very disorganized and just throw them in) to make space for the new laundry. But I did it!!!
5. What are you going to do today?
It's almost the end of the day for me, so just uhh last-minute watchparty stuff and maybe checking messages? Ideally I'd be doing one leisure activity (watching one of two shows or playing one of two games) but I'm more likely to be paralyzed with indecision and do nothing for 3 hours and wake up sleep-deprived.
