Right now where I am, I see
Three computer screens and an array of Funko! Pops. I am currently on a 15 minute break from my day job. I make it a policy that if I have to spend a third of my life somewhere it’s going to reflect my personality and have as much comfort and convenience as I can cram into it. Every desk I’ve ever had has had an arrangement of toys and, often, a tiny shrine of some sort. Right now I have a small Green Tara statue and a number of beloved stones I brought from home, as well as a carved lotus plaque a former teammate gave me.
I hear
In my earbuds: “Cruel Summer” by Taylor Swift. If I pause it I hear about a dozen people’s keyboards clickety-clacking.
I taste
The dregs of my Starbucks treat this morning: An iced vanilla oat milk latte. I don’t go to SB all that often these days for $$ reasons, but after a four-day weekend I had to bribe myself out of bed this morning.
I smell
Snickerdoodles, but there are unfortunately no cookes nearby; I had a mug full of Vanilla Spice Cheerios (This would totally be my Spice Girls name) for breakfast and it always leaves the area smelling faintly like chai or cookies.
I feel
Physically? Cold. This place is kept colder than Frosty’s left buttcheek. Also my hands are very dry and I need to lotion them (this is my current favorite). Mentally? Not too bad these days, all things considered.
See y’all tomorrow!
