Hunger and Folly

We just woke up and her first item on the agenda was to play Monopoly. I give her “inheritance money” and she always wins. We practice her handwriting. I make us pancakes. After a few morning classes, I jump on the saddle for 30km workout on Zwift (2 x 15 FTP intervals). After his piano lesson, I walk I. to his 2pm swimming class. Before his class is over at 3pm, I run an outdoor 5k around Baywalk and Rizal Park. It’s cloudy, but it’s still hot and humid.  They are still re-filling the sand on that “Dolomite Beach.” I saw it with my own eyes. The enshrinement of wasteful and crazy. It represents government’s plan is to drive us all mad, both with hunger and folly.

I’m hungry all day. I have a late lunch, and D. still manages to cook a nice meal even if she’s working two jobs. After some chores and a shower, I make coffee, run the evening classes along with some admin work. There’s always some space for a little boredom, of wondering after work at night. What does the inside of a bar look like, what am I missing out on? We search for the trends in Twitter and watch YouTube. Get another snack. Contemplate on fixing a drink, craving for brandy or whisky. But I really have the mind of a child, and the diet of a child. I make myself chocolate milk.
