elusivekToday's "adulting" win is:
I went ahead and cancelled 2 credit cards that I hardly used. One of them has a hidden annual fee to have the card, and the other one has no annual fees, but I'd rather not hold onto 2 cards that I don't use anyway. This way I don't have to worry about those cards... if I ever lose my wallet or have stuff stolen, that's 2 less cards to worry about.
I actually went for a run on Sunday... It's Tuesday now, but my legs are still... non-functional. I'm not in pain, my legs, the front of my thighs especially, are just so stiff LOL. I decided to do some body weight and stretching routines last night, but it hasn't helped. I had half a mind of drink some fresh milk this morning, but then didn't want to finish up dad's milk (for his coffee). I'll get some fresh milk today after work. I saw on a documentary once that fresh milk helps rebuild or patch up the muscles that you've overworked.
Oh, I've also got a bit of a, what I suspect is a "Wish" experience? LOL. One of the last things I ordered on Taobao was (another) pair of earphones. This one claims to be a bone conduction earphone (but I suspect it's really not), but I wanted to get a pair for running, because the other pair of earphones I had were honestly really good, so good that I can't hear the traffic around me, and that is actually not quite good if I'm running outdoors. This is just cheap Taobao stuff so I thought to give it a try. I ordered the "blue" to match my iPhone, but the "blue" that came was totally not LOL. I tried them on, and they are really comfortable, so very light, and I can have them on for a long time and my ears don't hurt. What's more, it doesn't affect my needing glasses either. So, apart from the color, it was very good buy. What more could you ask for for just MOP$80? (Less than USD$10). Even then, the shop offered a full refund. I said no, (it was going to be a hassle to sent that back to China), instead, I wanted to buy another one in black, and they offered me a discount for the next purchase. I didn't place the order yet, but I thought this was a good enough deal.
Not quite sure how to extract a Facebook video, and I'm not sure if this is a public post, but here's a funny video by a pair of Hong Kong Mom-and-daughter in their quarantine quarters. Even I, who suck at Mandarin, found this hilarious, because the mother obviously can't speak shit of Mandarin LOL. I think the daughter's better, where she pitches in, but the Mom? Totally LOL.

Ugh. My boss had some non-office related online function he had to attend, but didn't want to, so I had to log in on his behalf just so that it's shown his name is there *rolls eyes*. That was last night, there's another same thing in a few days... I'm going to ask to have my hours cut one day next week to compensate the extra work I did outside of normal working hours.
Oh, I got tickets to 2 movies tomorrow and Thursday. I'm still not sure if I'm going yet, I'm afraid the time is too tight for me, but I'll see. The Garden of Evening Mists (2019), and Eternally Younger Than Those Idiots (2021). I do hope I manage to get the dogs sorted out in time and get to watch both movies. And then, a much anticipated dinner on Friday!
