it was my second day of training at the cafe. i made some bubble ice tea, i cooked some rice, i cracked tea eggs, i boiled noodles, i washed dishes, i brought up more ice cubes from the basement, i assembled some bento boxes, i created tickets in the square register. i left by 3:30pm after a large order of 3 bento boxes and a zhajiang noodle. it'd been drizzling a little bit throughout the day that's why it wasn't too busy, but still better than yesterday.

i barely had any lunch, just some leftover braised pork rice, and this morning i made a matcha latte. i wasn't hungry though, though there was peppered beef jerky, cinnamon gummy candy, and licorice watermelon seeds waiting for me back at home.

pedro never got in touch with me, i had to text him asking for estimates. i get the feeling maybe he doesn't want to do the job. the fact that he won't send me a proper proposal and wants to keep it informal through text, plus the fact that he has no references other than a referral from a referral, doesn't make me very confident. he'd probably be the cheapest, but it might be worth it to pay more and have it done right.

for dinner i reheated some lentil soup (more like lentil porridge). i didn't get gassy like last night, but i did have rather explosive diarrhea about an hour later, not sure if it's somehow related to eating all that lentil.
