Things I Enjoyed this Week

“One must imagine Sisyphus happy”
– Albert Camus

I have been thinking about this quote that I came across a lot this week. It was my intent to move to Japan next month to be with my partner and begin building a life there. Being stuck here without any idea of a timeline amid the pandemic has made life feel Sisyphean in many ways. I will continue to try and imagine myself happy, even in this present uncertainty.

My total count of random acts of kindness is now at 24.
1. Donate clothes
2. Donate books
3. Send a loved one a postcard
4. Buy local stuff and eat from local restaurants all day

I want to continue posting the new words I find in the wild from books or podcasts.
1. Phlebitis – inflammation of a vein

I watched no Oscar Best Picture Winners.

I taught myself no new constellations this week.

Meal Prep and New Recipes Tried

I made Green Chile Enchilada Soup from Once a Month Meals. I ommited the cream cheese and meant to add a dollop of Greek yogurt to each serving, but it’s plenty flavourful and thick without it.
I also made Vietnamese Street Pizza (Banh Trang Nuong) following a YouTube video from b.delicioustory. It was just a rice paper wrapper that you heat up in a pan, fry an egg on, and spread extra ingredients on. I just did sriracha and green onion. It was more of a delicious, crispy omelette.
