I realized that during my top surgery consult I did the single straightest thing I have ever done.
So the surgeon, a cute woman, asks if I will want pec implants. And I tell her that won’t be necessary. Then I flex my pecs.
That is so cringe.

I need to keep reminding myself: Patrick, booze is not food.
But I hate cooking SOOOO much. And the pub serves hot food. And I’m so sick of eggs and nuts.
Guess I’m working on that alcoholic writer trope. Only without the alcoholism and extended fasting.

Walking home at 1:30am looking both ways before crossing a one way street. I see headlights coming from the wrong direction.

Today’s lunch is salad roulette! I just paid rent so waiting to n payday and we are eating whatever was left in my fridge, and it is salad 10+ days past the (already discounted rush to sell) date. Why didn’t I eat it sooner? Because I don’t like this kind of salad.

Dude with a wallet chain, baggy jeans, combat boots, two necklaces, a braided leather bracelet, and a Celtic knot on his t-shirt makes a reference to Plato’s allegory of the cave that shows he understood it. What goes through your mind?
I was that dude today.

Pro tip: when making boiled eggs for breakfast, make sure the pot is on the correct burner.
I get up to get my breakfast and am disappointed to fine raw eggs in cold water on a cold burner while the burner behind it glows.
I swear I am an adult.

Apparently “walking on concrete” boots are not the same as “hiking boots” and neither is a promise of water-proof-ness.
Yes that’s how it’s written. I’m an engineer, words will word whatever I word them to.
