Fantastic weekend

2025-09-07

Yesterday and today were great. Yesterday I finally made Juan watch Pantheon. The dog slept in the bed for a bit. Fried rice for dinner, stuffed my face, and I felt great. No stress, just hanging out with friends. Laughing and having a good time. Many times that old Vonnegut chestnut, "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is" entered my mind. I think I said it out loud at one point.

Today was a little more subdued. I was so happy today I just started chanting singing. It started as a hum in the shower I think, but turn into mantras. Talked to Dad and Grandma on the phone within the same hour. On the drive to trivia I listened to "Waves" by Blondefire and it was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude and awareness of the emphemeral nature of life. Cried a little. We did horrible in trivia as usual, but the time was spent perfectly.

I would like to be able to feel this whenever I want. I guess with this log, devoid of any meaningful imagery or stylistic skill, I can. I can always come and read this to remember this weekend. I probably will.

To that future me, it happened before and it can happen again. You can be happy. It is just a matter of remembering.
