7. morning showers are cold, evening showers are half warm... this apt has such terrible water heating

9. thunder, lightning, and rain are surprisingly soothing

cyclical nature

i seem to go through a cyclical mental state of composure.

starts with happy-go-lucky, then moving forward with goals, then frustration because nothing goes the way i want, then anger towards trivial things and self, then realization at my irrationality, then longing for social interactions, then back to happy-go-lucky...

hoping something will break this cycle.

on a different note, it's getting warm enough to walk around outside...
