Greetings! Thank you for joining me this Saturday, please come in.

So much has happened this week that it had left me with little time to catch up on blog-reading and writing.

First of all, my brand-new Galaxy s23 came on Wednesday by way of FedEx. It’s definitely nicer than the s23 FE I got from Amazon during Thanksgiving but then, the s23 costs twice more than the s23 FE. When I initial bought the s23, I thought it was a lot bigger than my s10e but I was glad to find out the difference in size was almost negligible. As long as the phone fits in my pocket, I’m find with it.

Right after I got it, I spent almost about an hour transferring everything from my old phone to the new phone. I was surprised how everything on the new phone looked like the old phone. I thought I would have to spend at least a day adjusting the settings to my liking but I didn’t have to. All the settings got transferred from the old phone. I only spent that night downloading music so I wouldn’t be using data to listen to music in the car.

The day after the arrival of my new phone was the company’s year end party. The party was held at the same place as the party in 2022 – in a movie theater. I tried out my new phone’s camera with this picture of my plate of food – a custom-made taco and a fruit tart. 😁

I definitely didn’t load up my plate as I did in 2022. Everything on that plate was delicious and for once, I didn’t overeat. I think my dietitian counselor will be proud.

The party included a screening of the newest Marvel movie. The day before, my co-workers were telling me it’s the worst movie ever produced. I thought it was pretty good or maybe it’s because I’m just a Marvel’s fan and enjoy everything from the Marvel universe.

I had two blood-draws this week – one on Monday and again on Wednesday. I haven’t had that many blood-draws in a long while. It was partly the doctor’s mistake though. I think my endocrinologist (the doctor who ordered these labs) might be getting a little senile.

I had my yearly follow-up on Wednesday and I believe I broke my personal record of having the longest conversation with a doctor ever. We spoke about so many things about life, health, etc. I guess I’m lonely and looking for someone to converse with me.

Another major snowstorm fell upon us Thursday night into Friday morning. When I went downstairs for breakfast on Friday, mom urged me again to cancel my upcoming road trip. “There will be snow on the roads,” she said, “you should cancel everything now and stay home.”

Mom is leaving on her trip to Japan in approximately 3 days (Tuesday). My road trip to Monument Valley and Arizona is in 2 weeks. Hopefully, Mother Nature doesn’t throw a curve ball.

I actually addressed my anxieties and concerns with my co-workers on Wednesday. One said, “What’s wrong with you? Everyone look forward to travel. Travel is fun.” Indeed, what’s wrong with me? Why do I dread traveling despite I actually enjoy it when I’m in the midst of it?

Perhaps, I’m just being influenced by mom. Is that why I sometimes feel like the apocalypse is upon me when I think of mom leaving? Have I been secretly dreading her leaving on her trip because of my co-dependency issues? I know I’m completely capable of taking care of myself, I’ve done it before, so why am I afraid?
