August Recap

I don't think I improved much.

I think my nickname should be raisin…lol…hydration goal not meeting target

Hrs of sleep not meeting target

90s-100 degree weather

Less thunderstorms

Playing tennis later in the day

Some talk about getting a part time job

Some talk about going back to school

Some talk about getting a new car

Some talk about getting a roommate and moving to a new neighborhood

Maybe a drop or two of stress with all these major changes possibly happening


Major event in the world - Maui fires… I think last year we had a few fires in Colorado. This year we had none.


Sorry I have not updated the blog in a long time. No motivation to update if I am being honest. I want to reach more ppl and of course that takes work. I have not put in the work therefore there is no audience. I want to add more past years to it because before I moved to Denver and away from home, I dreamt every day and I had themes to them for a few years. I wonder if I am approaching the next chapter of my life where I no longer dream. Not like life will slow down. It will only get busier from here. I suppose that is ok. I have double digit years worth of dreams recorded so I still have material to use.


San Fran - Tried to make it up the mountain to see the sunrise at Mount Tamalpais but it was so foggy. Explored a new location-Cataract Falls. Windy roads getting to it; good thing there was nothing in our stomachs. Why do ppl like to tailgate, it’s just me and you on the road. If you are going to tailgate me, you might as well cross the double yellow, just go around me already and get it over with. As we were driving, suddenly the fog cleared and the sky was visible and the sun felt nice. Pretty place. Only hiked an hour. A little tough. Lots of inclines and steps up. Get that hams/glutes work out. Meet Fresh for dessert when we got back into town.


Portland, Oregon - mannnn the mighty green pine trees :) so lovely. All throughout the place, even within the neighborhoods. I'm glad they didn't cut whole acres of them to put houses in. No fog. Lovely temperatures to hang out outside. Parking situations at Washington Park and Multnomah Falls were dumb. But then again, we went on a weekend. But it still did not support more than a handful of ppl at a time. We didn't eat a lot. We spent the time driving and hiking instead. The logic is that if we did return to Portland, we’ll take the train next time and focus on city exploration and food. We also intended to drive to the coast but we didn't have the time for that. There was a Tillamook market at PDX that I wanted to try just because of the brand name but it sadly closed by the time we returned to the airport around 4pm. Got some yummy ice cream at Salt and Straw. I got salted and malted chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate brownie. I actually don't like cookie dough in ice cream so i was pleasantly surprised with this but it is their #2 seller. I wish I could try their fried chicken ice cream flavor haha. Pear and blue cheese sound interesting too. Of course I wish we did more and ate more but I definitely didn't want to rush the trip. We did a comfortable day trip and I am happy with what we accomplished. Even got to the airport early. Went to the Redwoods Observation Deck (bit of a hike), International Rose Test Garden, and saw the outside of the Pittock Mansion. Pleasantly surprised, my coworker likes flowers and was happy to go to the rose garden. We were supposed to drive to the observation deck but we forgot lol and from there, we were supposed to drive to get ice cream. I like the little town we drove into; stylish storefronts.


Made it to NJ! As the older sister, had to remind my younger brother to help take care of the house and be nicer to Mom. Mom does all these things for him and he doesnt even reciprocate. She works two full time jobs, grocery shops and cooks and he still acts like he in high school. I also told him ne needs to come up with a better arguement as to why he cant drop me off or pick me up from places. Not like I have a car to use. Mom bought the perfect watermelon for me <3<3

Red, crsipy and juicy

<3<3

Took mom to Frelinghuysen Arboretum. Also got breakfast with my friend! Apparently we havent seen each other in two years. Wasnt thrilled to Uber an hour away :( but time is precious and i dont want to spend the time taking public transportation to save money. Still havent met her dog :( We stopped by the Van Vlek House and Garden before going back to the airport. Need to make a second trip when the wisteria are in bloom. Flights back to Denver look a lot better this time around.


Dear inhabitants of planet earth,

We are all influenced by our environment and the people around us. Remind your friends, family and strangers that it is not ok to stalk others. Dont stalk my friend and show up at her house uninvited. Dont call her workplace to ask for her schedule. Whether it is a local or a celebrity, dont be a creep. No one owes you anything just because you are their super fan.


Best friend moving to Florida. I am sad. But he is living his BEST life and I am so happy for him. Florida is where his heart is. I can see him becoming the next station manager.

Another coworker just up and left the office.

Another has talked about quitting once he returns from his vacay.

Another has contemplated moving back to the East Coast since her breakup.

The manager I work under is leaving.

Frequent tennis partner is interviewing for work on the East Coast.

Lots of moving pieces in our business and it makes me a little anxious sometimes.


Places to Sleep

Have you fallen asleep anywhere embarrassing? Are your friends mischievous when you fall asleep around them? Do you have a hard time...
