Journey: From the bed to the kitchen to the couch.
Cups of coffee: 1 French press with breakfast and a homemade matcha green tea almond milk latte that I am mentioning because I want to sound fancy.
Personal growth moment: I washed all of my clothes and left the house in adult-appropriate apparel.
Things in this extremely modern house that confound me: (1) Cannot figure out how to turn on either fireplace. (2) Cannot figure out how to fully flush the environmentally-friendly toilets on the first…second…or third try. (3) Cannot figure out how adjust the water temperature in the shower to anything other than scald, boil, or incinerate.

Yesterday was a much-needed break from driving and an easy training day. I spent almost the entire day glued to an enormous blue couch, thinking about all of the exciting things I could be doing and enjoying not doing them. Eventually I got moving, turning the day’s corework session into an extravaganza that took full advantage of the open floor space. It was like Center Stage, but without the talent.

Since I was tired of eating things that came from a bag in my car, I went out for dinner. I’d considered trying something upscale and “local” but wasn’t feeling steak or chicken-fried anything, so I settled on Vietnamese. I walked into Pho Lien Hoa and signaled that I was a party of one, to which the hostess asked loudly, “You alone?”

Yes. I am a leper.

The pho was great; it’s wonderful that I can drive halfway across the country and enjoy the same soup I love at home. Even better, the table behind me was speaking Spanish the whole time. Globalization is awesome like that.

After dinner, I stopped in a natural food store downtown and paid eight times more than anybody ever should for bananas and hummus. Then I walked around Bricktown, which was really exciting for about 0.03 seconds, and then I’d had enough and went home to drink scotch from my travel flask and go to bed.

This is where I spent most of the day, with the exception of time spent in the kitchen gathering food.

Finally peeled myself off the couch at sunset to take advantage of the wide open floor space and killer stereo system.

I wanted to ride the buffalo but he was planted next to a police station.

After some very chilly, windy minutes of walking around, I had my fill of Oklahoma City.
