Center of Gravity

things i did this week:

• I went to Irvine for my last regional work thingy. I had korean food and macarons. The next day I had a vietnamese coffee and BJ’s. I drove 6+ hours total and listened to a bunch of old favorite albums. 
• I cooked too much salmon. Like, close to four pounds for three people. We finished it today, four days later. 
• I struggled through a minor detox after three straight days of extreme caffeination. 
• I made salsa for the first time in a few months. I wanted something spicy. My dad tried some and said “this is really good with beer, but you don’t drink anymore right” which was surprising because it always surprises me when he notices something about me 
• I read through most of the seventh dungeon crawler carl, three full evenings dedicated to mostly reading. It wasn’t that good but I’m excited for book club 
• I trained the new person and packed up my office. I was surprised but not a small amount pleased at how sad everyone was to see me go. I got a nice letter and a goodbye lunch at Lure. I ordered the sand dabs. 
• “Rainy season” officially arrived. It’s been coming down nonstop going on three days now. I’m impressed. The foot well on the passenger side of my car is flooded. 
• I had my first appointment with a new salonist. Her name is Taylor and we talked the whole time. I should’ve been doing this all along.
• I went to orientation for my LVN program. 
• I crashed out over a pretty girl 
• I went for a long run 
• I made Thanksgiving plans with my siblings. I’m spending it in Murrieta. I scrolled through google maps for 15 minutes while I should have been writing and experienced a minor existential spiral 
• I made cauliflower soup and enjoyed it while watching old smash ultimate content.
