They’re semi-cold, but I don’t care, I’m really just eating them out of boredom.I get up now, but I’ve basically been woken up every half hour since 6:30 a.m. by the cats. I whisk some eggs with a half tablespoon of butter and scramble them. I douse the product in Fly By Jing’s Sichuan Chili Crisp.

on my parents’ Amazon Prime and make a dirty martini with Bombay Sapphire gin bought on a past grocery trip. Bombay Sapphire is pricier than regular Bombay, but I really only like gin so I figure the splurge is worth it.

, a boba place, before it closes. I know the nap and caffeine from the tea will keep me awake, but I need to do thesis work anyway. I get a medium bubble milk tea with 70% sweetness .
