the day's not over yet but i already know how it's going to end. i'm going to have some sort of dinner of course, too hot to make anything elaborate, maybe just heat up some chinese dumplings. later, i'll go out to get some groceries. i have a craving for some ice cream, i'll probably get some for dessert. around 10pm i'll get back to work, debug for a few hours, watch some television while i'm doing it, then go to sleep around 2am, the warm air like an extension of my own skin. wake up tomorrow all sweaty, repeat rinse repeat rinse.

today was all about work. the world as i know it all fits inside my bedroom, where i sleep, where i code, where i watch television, where i eat my lunch. it's depressing. it's lonely. i watered my plants, i hope i get some tomatoes and hot peppers before the summer growing season is over. around lunchtime i had some cold peanut noodles then i called the unemployment office, activated my benefits, whether i'll use it or not. i went online to check how much money i have in my bank account and discovered some suspicious activities in the amount of $1200 worth of unauthorized purchases. i'll have to clear it up with fleet tomorrow morning. at least those places are air-conditioned, and it'll get me out of the house. i also met the water man, who came by to read the meter.

at 5pm, after 8 hours of coding, i took a break to go running. it's funny, the thing i was looking forward to all day was an hour's worth of exhausting hot exercise. my priorities are all messed up. and it's only monday.
