day's stream

A couple of us (me included) got too close to the water and it went right up our feet and ankles. Went back home around afternoon, arrived home an hour and a half later. We visited a plant shop on the side of the road, so that’s why the trip home took longer. Changed into dry pants and socks, set my shoes to dry in the sun. Parents and uncles ate a few bites; I was waiting on going to the mall to eat. Ground some coffee to make iced coffee. Mom said we were going to iTea? What? Quickly packed up my coffee stuff, grabbed my wallet and phone, and … they were still eating. 10 minutes in ⁠— got irritated enough that I just made the iced coffee, iTea or no. Hoffmann’s method, a bit less water, inverted method and plunged, erythritol and oat milk and ice. It was only until the minute before I was finished that we started getting out of the house. Talk about timing! Dad sped us off to iTea, I got roasted oolong milk tea with lychee jelly. Back to the car – Valley Fair, or Great Mall? Both closed at 6pm. Uncle Bora wanted to go to Great Mall for some specific store. I don’t remember the store. I just about rolled my eyes then. Hadn’t eaten much since 10 and I didn’t need to look at the time to feel the hunger creeping in like green claws. We sped off to Great Mall. At this point I was feeling a bit spiteful so when my mom asked if I wanted to eat or shop first I decided to shop. What was there to shop? I had enough clothes. Swing by Marshalls, got a notebook for $8.64. Looking back – quite immature. Eat when you’re hungry. I was hungry then. Walked around. Mall was quite warm and stuffy. Met back with mom in Banana Republic, then we went to that Mongolian noodle place. Smaller bowl! They used to be plastic, and an inch wider on the radius. Paid, loaded up the bowl with ingredients, handed it to the cooks. We got back home an hour and a half after that, around 6:15. Chowed down. Sleep deprivation headache and loss of concentration kicked in around 7:30.
