Whoops 😬 forgot to post yesterday. I wasn't feeling well. I left work early and slept for three hours. It's been over 90 degrees and my skin isn't doing so well. We're looking like 2020 with maskne. I shouldn't wear foundation in the 90s, what was I thinking?

Griffith Park

Saturday afternoon I took Chips to the old train part of Griffith Park to chill. I packed a little picnic for the both of us. Chips had a semi permanent smile across his face. I absolutely love spending time with Chips. He's truly my best friend. He makes me so happy. He teaches me to live in the moment, put down my phone, and take in my surroundings as it comes. We FaceTimed with my mom for a bit. I read like 2 pages of the book I'm reading called SUPERMARKET. We spent an hour there just observing our space and our surroundings. Later on, we went on a walk where we encountered some dogs. Recently, he's not been fond of other dogs, so I was kinda worried if he was going to react, and he barely noticed the dog and kept it moving.

Golden berries from Trader Joe's

First time trying these golden berries aka cape gooseberries. They taste like tart cherries mixed with tomato consistency.  I think I like them. Might buy again.

Facetiming with Kyle in Madrid

Kyle had a day off in Madrid today and met up with our friend Carter, who's in Madrid to work the same festival show as Kyle. I was so stoked they got to hang together. 

chips is my best friend

getting older

Might be exposing myself here but I don't have anything to lose. 

Getting older is a privilege, it's supposed to be celebrated, not something to be ashamed of.

Why am i feeling like this? Do I have nothing to show?

How did 10 years pass by so quickly? 

When I was 10, I told my mom I never wanted to grow up. At 19, I wrote in my journal that I felt like I was retired already. At 23 when I finished college, I felt like I was retired again. Now at 35, I feel like I'm old and the clock is ticking for me to have a baby. I thought I would've had one by now, I thought I would have insurance, I thought I wouldn't have to have a roommate, I thought I would be thriving in a career. See what happens when I think?  Not such a good idea. Everything and everywhere is so expensive and time is money. I want to find something that fulfills me and my bank account. I wish that being a good person was a form of currency. I always try my best at work and while interacting with other people.  I'm at a point in my life where I just don't know what would make me happy. Something that was once interesting and what I thought was cool-job wise, after a while starts to feel like actual work and something forced. I'm not sure where I'm going with this rant but I don't know about anything anymore. 

Reflections

I got Chips a cooling jacket to wear during the summer. He didn't mind it at all. He hates water, so I for sure thought he would try to remove it by brushing up on a wall or something. Chips is a slow walker so I usually lead the way on the walks.
