Check-In Journal #2
Sep. 13th, 2025 03:16 pmSeptember 13, 2025, the day that... stuff I intended to do for a long time got done.
Things that made me happy today
Being rid of that old plastic pitcher, reading more of The Crystal Crown, some entertaining YouTube videos.
Daily Smiley: (⌐▨_▨)
Quotes of the Day
"Open yourself fully to the Force, then, welcome it in a rush if you can. The Force can flow like an ancient slow river or crash like a waterfall, and sometimes we need the waterfall."
--Master Sol, SW: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown
(73% finished, the show was disappointing but the book is so far so good.)
Dreams
Several, but none that I remember. (I wrote down the one I remembered from yesterday, it was of the driving-turns-scary type but it was on the less-scary scale.)
Things I Bought
Nothing today. (Yesterday I went to Costco and got basic stuff--breakfast drinks, lunch stuff, snacks, Stok cold coffee, wine)
Accomplishments
Also, got rid of that plastic pitcher (it had like an inch of chai mix/milk in it for awhile and plastic absorbs odors, and I avoided smelling it, it was out of the fridge and into the trash bag). Took out all the trash right after.
Cleaned my front door! No idea why it was so much dirtier than others' but I just used water and a washcloth and it made a difference. It looks like there are stains, but maybe a Magic Eraser can take care of those.
Put away the other part of Thursday's laundry, the washcloths, towels, underwear, and socks (I always procrastinate on that part because matching socks is boring).
Food
Cheese and crackers for brunch, leftover (still sealed) Powerade from a work pizza party months ago, 2 corn dogs for dinner and 4 Godiva truffles for dessert. Soon, a drink before bed.
Today I wore:
Olive green T-shirt, black straight-leg yoga pants.
Movies/TV Shows/Books/Podcasts
YouTube videos, book: Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown, podcast: Knowledge Fight
Friends
Only left my apartment to take out the trash today, so none.
Music I Loved Today
None listened to, but I woke up with "Sister Golden Hair" by America being played on a loop in my internal jukebox. It's one that comes up often on the Sirius XM channel "The Bridge."
What I Learned Today
I should've cleaned my front door sooner, then there wouldn't be what I hope are not permanent stains.
===
Idea from here.
