2024: my digital diary

08.12 Chocolate cake

Last night I couldn't fall asleep until 5am, so naturally today I woke up late— at 1:30pm. Mom came to say good morning and she brought me some almonds and I ate almonds in bed while she prepared lunch. I left the bed a little after and I took a shower. I brushed my hair and I sat down on the kitchen table, where we had potato, celery and onion with garlic sauce, next to a tasty chicken soup.

Then, I picked up Marcuse's Reason and Revolution and I began reading. I started really liking it so I kept on reading and reading through the day. At 5:45pm I took a break and decided to bake a chocolate cake. I used butter, eggs, nuts, cocoa, coconut and brown sugar. I put it in the oven and I then went to the garden to read whilst I had a coffee with cream.

At 8pm I left the house and visited my aunt and grandma. Grandma was back from church and again she didn't seem to know I was her niece. Aunt Remy gave me a new pair of socks and her digital camera, so I could bring it with me to Istanbul. I picked up a wooden hairbrush and bamboo toothbrush and left back home.

Back home I decided to go for a run. Ive wanted to take on cardio for a long time, since I want my health to be good. But I was a bit ashamed and scared to go out and let people see me running, so I decided to run in the home garden. I thought I wouldn't make it past 5 minutes but I actually lasted 15 minutes, and I could have kept going, but I didn't want to injure myself, so I left it at that for the first day.

I took a cold shower. Then I had dinner and read in the sofa. I ate cucumber salad with pickles and anchovies in vinegar. After dinner mom and I tried a piece of the chocolate cake and it was very good! Then I brushed my teeth. I'm in the living room sofa writing this. I'm going to play a film on the TV and hopefully fall asleep to it. Very good night everybody.
