Woke up and ran a 5k, which surprised me because I didn’t get much sleep. I went to a party in the forest last night, which was incredible and confused our Uber driver. I got to sleep around 4am, but I woke up at 9am and couldn’t fall back asleep—a run seemed like the next best option. I went to the party with two great friends who I love so much. Feeling grateful today, and also very tired.
I used to think that I didn’t like dancing, but it turns out I just didn’t like clubs. I mean, my pathetic shuffle is barely dancing, but you know what I mean. Going to clubs in the UK usually meant lots of super drunk people, and lots of blokes being a bit creepy. Californian forest parties are pretty much the exact opposite. If only I’d known that I was supposed to party in the forest.
An easy day today, mostly chores while I listen to an audiobook and hopefully a little time to work on side projects. Reading, writing, building, whatever. I’m listening back to the audio I recorded whilst hiking with Cacio yesterday and surprised at how lovely it is to go a walk with past-me. The things I didn’t really hear yesterday I get to hear now, and it feels a bit like modest time travel.
