Woke up around 8:05 today. Got ready lickety split and made breakfast around 8:45. A little bit of oatmeal with some leftover marinated chicken and some crunchy pickled cabbage. Yum. Had coffee at 10:30 on the AeroPress, regular cap. Headed to work around 12, took my mom's car. Wow. Feels like driving a metal and plastic and glass and petrol carriage. Wonderful visibility but not a particularly smooth ride -- I really miss my hybrid drivetrain and my cars insulation! Dad dropped off my key fob at the body shop and got the vehicle registration for me. Shot off another email to Mr. Peter at the UCSC TAPS Sales department to reopen my online permit form and he was right on it, bless him. Daphne, Mindy, Julie, and Aaron swung by for some ice cream (Daphne got a little burger meal) and I was able to hang out with them for a little bit. And by a little bit I mean a couple hours which is crazy writing it out because a. it didn't feel like 2 hours and b. I'm pretty sure we were decently busy a couple times but my parents didn't call. Well, I headed back to work around 6:30 and we wound down around 7:45. Drove home with mom around 8:05. Grandma made some broccoli chicken shrimp stirfry, and there was some leftover egged bittermelon which I snapped up quick. Yum. Had some watermelon for some dessert and some almond flour crackers for a more savory note. Aunt Kun and Uncle Mike called and checked in around 9:45. Spent the remainder of the time shooting off a few emails and contact to UCSC and a couple other online businesses.
