Day 80 of taking it easy until that sand gets out of my eye

You heard the title, there's a piece of sand in my eye. Horrible! I thought today would be great and I was really excited but...no

• Finally Recovered!

• Forgot about (Moby)D(ick)re 
• Disappointment

My stomach ache is gone, it's finally gone and Carpe diem! I seized every opportunity I could but not too much. However! I did finally make myself some coffee and I made sure to add all that would've made my stomach cramps a day ago, except milk...I'm still lactose intolerant...sigh. it was good coffee though. Anyway, I finally got the chance to eat my trifle which I have been waiting for as I do every Christmas. I was hanging out the washing and was about to go up and dish myself some only to find that it was being thrown out because it melted. So I didn't get my trifle, feels bad. I've been waiting for it too. Well let's not be sad, I can finally look back at this and laugh, hahaha haha...ok, that's enough laughing.

I also made a few changes to my spotify. By a few changes I mean I deleted all of my playlists. I don't do this intentionally but I've realized a pattern, at the end of every year, I delete all my playlists. There's nothing better than starting fresh I suppose. Usually all my playlists have a gimmick or something. When I first got spotify, I added all my favorite songs to one playlist which ended up being over 100 hours long. Whoops! Then I tried making short playlists that had 15 songs max which was difficult. I did those monthly and every month I picked a theme and I had to find 15 songs that encapsulated that theme. Then this year I decided to toss out the carefully curated playlists and just create these 24 hour long playlists and I released them in volumes. They were great, volumes 4 was my favorite as it contained the most variety but I deleted it all. I'm going back to the monthly playlists but without the theme and without the 15 song limit. There's a lot of freedom in that. The monthly playlists are a callback to these YouTube vlogs that I used to watch where this one woman would drive and as she did, she'd listen to a monthly playlist that she made. I'm already almost done with my December playlist. Anyway, you're probably wondering what happened to all my 24 hour playlists, I had 5 so that's 120 hours of music going to waste. What I did with all those hours of music was condense it into one playlist and it only ended up being 9 hours long and they're all my favorite songs. Anyway, monthly playlists! Yeah!!!!

I listened to my favorite songs playlist all morning as I was doing chores. I don't mind chores anymore, they're not bad. I hung out the washing and did the dishes and that's about it, not too much. It's bearable. 

Oh yeah! I haven't read Moby Dick in so long and by that I mean 2 days. I'll read tomorrow and I'll have to read 15 chapters then. It should be easy if I split it up, morning, afternoon and evening. I miss the book though. I wanna get back into it but I just keep forgetting! I tried to read today but I couldn't!!! The horror! The horror! I'll get into it later on.

By later on I mean now! The future is now! We went to the beach this evening and I brought Moby Dick with. I wanted to read it on the beach because I've always wanted to read Moby Dick on the beach. We went to the beach and when we got there, we bought ice-cream. I ordered my favorite flavor. The beach was so windy that my ice-cream melted all over my hands though and then i couldn't touch Moby Dick without getting it dirty and that's where everything went downhill. I couldn't find a bathroom to wash my hands so I washed my hands in the ocean and it got all sandy and salty? Then I tried to get some tissues to wipe my hands dry but as I was drying my hands, a Crumb of sand got stuck in my eye. I've been writing this entry since my car ride home from the beach and I'm at home now and the bastard is still in my eye. How do I get it out???? I've tried everything. Then when I finally finished all that, I sat down on the beach wall and was about to begin reading but then we had to go and I didn't get to read anything. 

The beach was beautiful though. I can complain a lot but I can assure you that I'm a really positive person and I do love the beach. It was a beauteous evening so calm and so free. I love that poem! We drove by the town areas and it was lovely, I wish I could walk around there and just breathe in the salt air and feel the summer breeze air through my clothing. I've been to the beach many many many times but I haven't been to the little town area near the beach too many times, I can count on my hands the amount of times I've been to that town and the last time I was there was way to long ago, my memory of that town felt more like a dream than something that actually happened. I never realized how long it had been since I'd been there until I realized how many name changes there were and I tried looking for some stores that I've been to but couldn't find some of them. Time marches forward, I suppose. I just felt really nostalgic for that small town area behind the beach and for some reason we took that detour through the town instead of our usual route and I stared out the window all the road long. Anyway, thank you for reading this. I've been thinking of writing again, I'm getting all these ideas for short stories, maybe tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow, see you then!
