5/19

allergy medications, particularly zyrtec, benadryl, flonase, and neti

those medications making it possible for me to go out into the warm weather and feel the sun on my skin

my nth reread of the second three body problem book and the new collection of ted chiang stories, even though they weren't as good as i wanted them to be

that the vent hood on our oven isn't very good, even though that's annoying when the house gets smoky and the fire alarm goes off, because once the smoke has mostly dissipated, you can see the light coming through the skylight in the kitchen, the solidity of the beam

sujeonggwa, which is a sweet korean cinnamon punch that i bought a can of on a whim at the international market a few weeks ago and which made me remember when we were in korea with d's parents and she and her mom had this intense fight on the top floor outside an open restaurant, where we then went in and ate a very awkward dinner, and then at the end the brought a bowl of sujeonggwa and it was so refreshing

on saturday walking in our our old neighborhood with miso killing time while d went to the farmer's market and getting some hardcore deja vu and thinking about how i have had so many eras of my life while living here and that was just one of them and feeling very nostalgic now that we've decided to move

the strawberries that d bought at the farmer's market, which were so round and red and sweet

that the peonies she planted last year are coming up and it looks like one of them is about to open
