transparent fridays, 2.7.25

happy friday to all reading this. i don’t have much to write today, but i’m looking forward to having a couple of days off, regardless of how quick it goes by. i have to prepare a presentation for an interview on tuesday, so i’ll be locked in. i also dropped a song today which is live on all streaming platforms. it’s called transparency, which is off my second project, staying over, leaving early. i’m excited about the upcoming music i’ve been working on and i think that’s a product of creating what you love while loving what you create. only time will tell where the music takes me, but for now we’ll focus on transparency.
and my job interview on tuesday, smh.

snow wishes granted, 2.6.25

i don’t know exactly when but recently i asked for snow during the week. i woke up this morning and couldn’t get out my driveway because they hadn’t come to plow yet.

thank you, God.

transparency release date, 2.5.25

we’re dropping transparency this friday at 9:19pm. i’ve also reached out to a few people in terms of promotions and running ads. i’ve had two recurring thoughts pretty much my whole life. one is, i needed to be in ‘x’ place before i do 'x’. there other is, what if it doesn’t work out? as difficult as it may be, i have to let those thoughts go.
last year, i got my feet wet.

this year, i’m jumping into the deep end because sometimes you have to teach yourself how to swim.

february blood work, 2.4.25

bagel had a vet appointment for routine bloodwork today. we went to north reading veterinary clinic and as we were waiting for the doctor, he starting to moan and groan. to distract him, i lifted the blinds for him to sniff and look at the street. as bagel was looking at the cars passing, he huffed and puffed as the ups truck drove by lmao. that made me chuckle because he really does hate delivery drivers. i have no clue because if only he knew they are the ones that bring all his treats, goodies, and food to him. afterwards, we went to the park as it was a bit warmer. warmer as in 43 degrees. to my surprise, there were other dog owners at the park walking their dogs, so we weren’t alone.

they said they’ll get back to me later this week about bloodwork results, so fingers crossed.

question of the day, 2.3.25

i read something today that said, what would you do if you had everything you wanted? it made me think of how i spend so much time thinking of everything i want in this life and not enough time on what i would do with it.

i honestly don’t know.

the last step, 2.2.25

i was walking down the stairs to let bagel out when i slipped and fell on the last step. it was dark and i skipped it. i literally fell and almost twisted my ankle in the process. it was so painful lmaooooo. it’s already bruised so it will definitely be sore when i wake up. i used to think of how the elderly can just fall but now i understand.

things just happen smh.

welcome february, 2.1.25

my favorite months are february, june, and october. they’re all different versions of each other, which means they’re the same to an extent. people say january is the longest month of the year, but all the months fly by to me. i’m hoping february slows down a little so i can enjoy it as much as i can.

if you’re reading this, i hope february is good to you.

snowing on the weekends, 1.31.25

it’s snowing right now (10:34pm) on a friday night. it seems to be coming down pretty good, too. this is like last year when it kept snowing on the weekends. in 2021, it snowed almost exclusively on the weekdays which is what i need to happen again lol. i love the snow regardless, but i wish we’d get a few good ones during the weekday. it’ll give me an excuse to stay home and work on the things i really want to work on.

we got about a month and half left of winter weather, so i can only hope.

french toast sticks, 1.30.25

i’m on a french toast sticks kick right now. i stopped by burger king before work to get some french toast sticks. i sat and ate in the restaurant, too. we used to go as a family to sit and eat in fast food places when i was younger and i miss that. it’s a little different than a normal restaurant because you have the freedom to roam around and get your own refills, napkins, condiments, etc. i like the freedom that comes without having a server, to be honest. the french toast sticks were fresh and so was the hashbrowns. i don’t care too much about hashbrowns, but they came with the meal so i ate them. i sat and watched some tiktoks. it was a peaceful breakfast, which is ironic because i don’t typically eat breakfast as i’m not hungry in the morning but i was craving french toast sticks.

a good day at work, 1.29.25

even though the experiment messed up (to my blame) today was such a good day at work. we hosted cytiva and were doing a filterability study. they ordered us tatte and work had a lunar new year celebration as well so i had a chicken pita with some sesame chicken, fried rice, and beef and broccoli. it wasn’t just the food though, it was the conversations, the change of pace from routine, and the overall wednesday vibe. today was a long day as i got here at 8am and i didn’t leave until 5:30pm. still, my day was good. lowkey, it might’ve been the best day at work for these past 4 something years.

more of these days are welcomed, but i’m not sure they outweigh everything else that transpires on a daily basis.
