when life gives you lemons, 7.8.24

i ordered a sparkling yuzu lemonade at earl’s tonight. it was one of the better mocktails i’ve had in a while. minutes later, the waiter dropped by with another sparkling yuzu lemonade. i was thinking how he was reading my mind, though i didn’t order one. he looked at the glass on the table and said an extra one was made and that the one in his hand was on the house. i told him i appreciated it. then when i sipped it, it was so bitter. i almost thought it had alcohol in it, but luckily that wasn’t the case. i wasn’t going to complain because it was free, but damn did that bitterness catch me off-guard lmao. we went to jp licks afterwards to wash away the bitterness with some ice cream and walked around assembly as it was nice out.

with nights like these, mondays aren’t as bad as they’re made out to be.
