The three of us are down with flu. My kids insisted on sleeping with me in my tiny room so we’re bit of a squeeze here. I couldn’t file for sick leave because I must meet my story quota for the month. It’s so difficult trying to concentrate on writing a story while chasing people and editing when you just want to sleep. The sink is a mess because I have no energy to cook or wash the dishes. Food was delivered from my mom’s house or via Grab. Cleaning the litter box was a struggle.

Ah school… The petri dish. You can’t escape illnesses if you have school-age children. My girls learned through chat that a lot of their classmates are also down with flu.

All my plans of attending meetings and covering presscons have gone the drain. 😑

And why the fuck is Zuckerberg pushing JD Vance down my throat?!

This anime has hit me hard the first time I watched this. It was a time in my life I knew everything wasn’t working out and I wanted to escape and be myself again.

I started sobbing at this scene at the crater. It’s like two people running along separate parallel lines but it turns out the lines are perpendicular and at one point they will meet for a brief moment. Then the lines will drift away again, never to meet.

Maybe that person’s line and mine haven’t met yet. Maybe we’re leading lives that are parallel but somewhere near the end, they shall meet. It doesn’t matter if it’s long and late, what matters is the lines will meet.

But for now, we’re just going to trudge this Mobius strip.
