To Love, To Clean

10:50

Protected with two gloves, a blanket and a pair of sneakers previously warmed up with a hair dryer, I washed the dishes while watching three episodes of Friends. There were still a few items left in the sink, but since I need to cook rice and beans for daddy today, I thought it would be better to leave it all there to finish later.

And it is so annoying to see Joey in love with Rachel (from all the episodes, these on the 8th season are the ones I like the least), I don’t know what the writers were thinking when they wrote that arc. But, on the other hand, do I really dislike those episodes, or am I just repeating what others say? I notice people (including myself) tend to repeat things they heard instead of thinking for themselves – much of my dislike for Taylor Swift came from those who couldn’t stand her.

You see that I had the perfect combo to quit my domestic errands: the cold, the rice, the beans, and Friends episodes I don’t like. Oh, and I wanted to have breakfast too. A slice of bread with white cheese, apple with peanuts, and chocolate (it came with the new kettle).

Not sure yet of what to eat for lunch. Do I cook something or do I go to the bakery to buy something there? It would be nice to stop by the market to buy regular cappuccino too (I’m having one with salted caramel flavour when I wake up). The weather app is promising 18ºC after 12 p.m., maybe that’s my window to get out and see real people.
