Journal #4 of 2019 - The Coffee is Bitter, the Doughnut is Sweet.

I get a coffee and a breakfast sandwich from a shop nearby work, and as I walk out, I can't help but love the morning. The street is empty and some shops are still closed. The bus is dropping people off for work and other adventures. It's not yet full of people who need to go somewhere. The world is still prepping for the day, and this coffee shop is there to make it a good one.

Finally saw Endgame. I enjoyed it. I've had more than one friend (and more than one group of friends) await my thoughts on the matter because I poke holes a lot. Makes me laugh and feel kinda bad at the same time. But eh, I'll need to see it a second time to find flaws. One thing has been pointed out to me that I agree with, but I won't mention it here.

Game of Thrones is garbage though. I'll rant about that all day if ya want me to. I won't here, though, not on this platform. Makes me really want to read the books though.

Speaking of reading, MAN I need to pick it up. I don't know if it is just this job, or I'm getting older and require more sleep, or am no longer properly prioritizing (cause I was out of a job for a month) but I don't see myself with a lot of time. I run out of time nearly every day. Grocery shopping, cricket shopping, writing, writing groups, TV, movies, games, reading, cooking, cleaning, and other chores like LAUNDRY, Guh I hate doing laundry... I gotta find a balance, some type of routine. When I get into cooking I cook a lot, and then I'm so worn out. I need to buy a microwave. That would save me some cooking time. Back to reading - I need to read more. I am growing a bit of a backlog, and I dislike it. I have one I'm trying to finish, and another I have been requested to read for a readers group I am joining (gotta read the book to join.)

Next time I have a morning free, I am going to go do some serious writing. I want to rewrite all of The Crate Sword and edit it whilst I write. It sounds like it will be a therapeutic experience. And I'm hoping it will spark more ideas to continue book 2. I have had quite a bit of writers block in book 2. I know where I want it to end up, I just don't know how to write it properly.

Beyond all these first world-y problems, life has been easy. I hardly drink anymore. Work is good. Apartment is good. Social media is good. Real life is good. Family and Friends seem to be doing alright.

All in all, its been a good few months, let's keep this going.
