Father’s day today. We went to the nearby pho place, I planned on paying but my mom said it was okay, just needed to pay for coffee. Dad got chicken, my mom, brother, and I got beef. Brother was the only one who got the regular noodles, we got fresh noodles. Uncle also went there for breakfast, and we paid for him. Delicious food! We booked it out of there to the nearby Caffino Cup drive-thru and the total came out to $25. Dad got an iced Vietnamese coffee, mom got a caramel macchiato, brother got a matcha smoothie, I got an iced Americano with milk. Loved the round roasty flavor, and the lack of sugar made it quite savory. Went back home. Rest of the day was slow. Edited Bluebirds and Emeralds but I feel like something is missing … might need to tweak the characters of Jason and Zappy. Jason, the perennially chilly ex-boyfriend; Zappy, the surprisingly sociable AI. Ayla is my favorite character – really tried to channel Rhoda Morgenstern, so no need to update her. Helped work around 5:30 since my grandma was out and my mom was basically the only person who could make dinner for all of us. I ate 3 apples today. The chili salt really helps wake up the flavors. Made some steamed potatoes in my Instant Pot. Didn’t quite get the time right, so I had to give it another 5 minutes of cooking and 10 to depressurize it naturally. Lowell DMed me the other day asking why I’m digging through his old tweets – please, you can’t blame me for getting distracted by my browser extension pulling up your profile highlights! Ugh, and I was kind of liking him too. But whatever. An antidote to digital social anxiety: “If I have to fall on my face in a DM, so damn be it”
