Editor’s note: one of two January 28 entries
sun in aquarius, moon in virgo.
my usual breakfast on the days where I’m not taking kids to school: coffee made in a moka pot and oatmeal with brown sugar and sliced apples. these happened to be the only pictures I took today (not including screenshots and a video).

An average day. Not my best or my worst for any of them.
outfit of the day: black cutoff jeans. black hightop converse. black ribbed tank top. white linen button down. one ring on each hand. gold hoops in all five of my piercings. purple puffer jacket when outside.
see: rainy skies all day. the puzzle I started the night before in better lighting. a friend I hadn’t seen in a couple weeks.
taste: oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. grilled chicken banh mi without the jalapeños from Brown Street Coffee for lunch. almonds for an afternoon snack. chipotle lime black bean bowls and tostones made by Luke for dinner. magnum bar for dessert.
smell: the little pieces of christmas trees that I took from discarded trees on the sidewalk while on a walk last week. I now keep them on top of my mailbox to smell when I get home.
touch: the rocks on the climbing wall as I ascended. the soft padding of the floor when I fell.
hear: the music I made with my friends at church. a song I hadn’t heard in a while that transported me to five years ago. my own voice through the speaker. encouragement to trust myself. John Green narrating his most recent book.
in: $0
out: $22.42 (banh mi for Luke and myself)
gratitude/moment I want to remember:
Andrew telling me that the harmony I’m singing sounds nice and I should trust myself. singing in front of people has always made me nervous, but I’m always happy to sing with Andrew because he is kind and encouraging. a mantra I keep coming back to is “do it scared.” I like this quote because it’s a reminder that it’s okay to be afraid, but to not let that stop you from trying. do it scared. singing in front of people at church is something that sometimes scares me, but I do it anyways. and I do enjoy it.
