Today the girls had hung out with their two friends in UP. While I did my walking exercise, I let them roam around by themselves.

But before that we had a hearty meal as I grilled marinated porkchops. Because it was sunny.

After we cleaned up, we fetched classmate #1 from their apartment nearby then we met classmate #2 at the College of Engineering where her parents parked.

When I was on my second loop, I met my ex-boss/ex-editor who was also exercising with his son. He caught me chatting on my phone while walking and he asked, what’s that, work? I said, yeah, one of my sources was asking me a lot of questions about xxx because xxx is yyyy. We chatted for a bit and he said we should meet with other ex-colleagues before Christmas.

We ate at Snack Shack after and drove friend #1 back home. My girls were happy, that’s all that matters.

Meanwhile, Kimchi finally used the cat tower.

I was about to give up on it and was thinking of disassembling it to Frankenstein the other scratching post. Good that she tried it now.

I want to go back to drawing again after watching videos and scrolling through the IG accounts of @shoreditchsketcher and @mysquiggles. Perhaps tomorrow.

Live/create the life that you want on weekends, not escape the life that you have on weekdays.
