Slow day today. Had some of that tonkotsu ramen for breakfast, added in some water spinach for some fiber. Finished last evening’s iced tea, then made a cup of coffee pour over style in my AeroPress funnel. Three pieces of filter paper for max clarity of coffee. Remind me to send a picture when I set it up again. Had a late lunch around 4, ate some leftover oatmeal with some pickled water spinach and some chicken and a generous splash of the black soba sauce. Made lots of peppermint tea today. Dropped off my brother around 6:00 at the shop, got a bottle of ice to cool down another serving of peppermint tea. Aunt and uncle coming over this Sunday to celebrate my birthday – trying to figure out strategies to help them understand the computer but it seems in my 6 years of help, they still don’t have the procedural muscle memory for keyboard and mouse. Horrifying to think about but it’s whatever. The older adult mind still has incredible fertility. Just a bit worried about my aunt’s neurocircitry since she took (nurse-level, exceeding nurse-level) care of my grandma with Alzheimer’s around the clock for a decade until 2015, and her burnout and recovery from even that in the couple of years after was really sad to see.
