Witnessing historical events was not on my bingo card on my way to the farmer's market. The No Kings Protest was held at the Ferry Building. Drummers, guitarists, protesters, the whole thing. I felt like I was in a Forrest Gump movie.
I bought avocado-fed pork bacon, brown eggs, and bunches of organic greens. I couldn't find any fermented foods, but nonetheless.
I headed over to Oakland for a local climbing gym there, but the bus route was changed due to the protest. I landed up in Alameda. I tried some Vietnamese food there.
On Friday, I had studied again with J. I find her presence... homely. She's chaotic.
I called my mom, and she gave me the bad news that my aunt has cancer. I don't feel down about it, but it's not a good thing. The best thing to do is to focus on the positives. Life sucks. I get it. But there's no reason to drag everyone down, especially since it sucks so bad already. Complaining and moping only adds fuel to the fire.
Lately, I haven't been exercising as vigorously as I should. Perhaps I should get back into the habit of jogging every morning.
My body is weakening. I am eating less and doing less calisthenics. I should get back into the habit of doing push-ups.

I like spending time with J. But is J right for me? Is she too chaotic and stressed out? Perhaps she'll mellow out with age?
I do feel more on edge spending time with her. I enjoy it. But at the same time it spikes my cortisol level.
Perhaps that's what partners do.
