Mostly home today. Raining raining raining all day. Woke up a little earlier to hear my mom clicking on and off and on and off and on and off my coffee grinder, worried the motor would be burnt out or something so I went over and poured out the beans and poured them back in and that turned out fine. Got ready and then had a chocolate muffin for breakfast -- tasted just like chocolate cake. Coffee a little earlier around 12:30. Picked up younger brother from the library around 1:45, parked on the third floor, swung by Subway and used the 2 footlongs (I got turkey, he got roast beef) for $14 and then by RnB tea. Fuck, I don't even know if this is the third or fourth time he's dragged me out to try and go eat out -- it's like cooking or trying to scrape together a snack at home doesn't even register as an option for him half the time. Didn't he just get YogurtLand yesterday? And bug me for 5 minutes trying to get fried chicken, the day before that? Whatever. Got some Vietnamese coffee from RnB tea, drove back home, Seth somehow managed to get Apple CarPlay working on his phone and we listened to a few tunes though it was pretty rainy so I couldn't catch all that much. Arrived home, tried to unwind. The sub was good. Stuck the coffee in the freezer for tomorrow so I'll see if it's all that tomorrow. Spent most of the day waiting for final packages to arrive. The manual camera flash arrived but it was a total dud. The plexiglass and sticky tack for contact sheet and magazine lift was less so. Took ~10 or so more photos on my Pen S -- it's so tiny. So tiny. Fit in my brown coat pocket just fine and it didn't feel like it bogged me down or anything. Napped for 10 or so minutes until Seth knocked on the glass of the office and the last package had arrived. Grumbling I pulled it in and took out the plexiglass and transparent sticky tack for myself and set the other four-drawer cabinet that my mom asked me to order in her room. Grandma and oldest uncle made some noodles today. Somehow after a foot-long I still had room in me to eat this bowl of noodles. But it was delicious and very very comforting. AND I MADE THE CYANOTYPE CONTACT PRINT. Gray day but a good day.
