20260715 I was with Cookie on a holiday. It was like a little hotel village. We were on our last night there when we sat down at at a cafe, where two round tables have been pulled together. A man from Germany comes by to comment and laugh. I had the impression he was family.
When he left, I felt bad I didn't have enough booklets from my mum-in-law's memorial service to give one to him.
We turned the corner to sit beside two of Cookie's long time family friends, B+L. My mum-in-law was suddenly sitting with them and suggested we eat here tomorrow before leaving. The man from before walk passed us again and I saw behind him at the restaurant that kids eat free on Mondays.
I said, ”Look, [baby]! You can eat free if you ate french fries.”

It was the last days of university, during exams, though the hallways looked like I was in high school. I wandered the halls, looking for my last class' exam location, though passing the office, I ran into my professor.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
I told her I'm looking for her exam room, then realized since she was standing here, I missed the exam. After rescheduling, I took the subway.
On my way home, I wnted to stop at an underground Chinese mall, where they had a run-down department store. Everything was on one floor. I browsed, looking through kitchenare, clothing, stationary and knickknacks. I stopped at a tablecloth I though was cute. I wanted it, but I was aware I didn't have very much money to freely spend. I debated whether it was worth buying, or buying dinner instead.

It was the end of our vacation at an all-inclusive resort. Cookie and I had gone because of a wedding. Cookie's mum stopped by our room, checking if we remembered to pack our suit and dress.
We pulled put our suitcases. Cookie had brought three suitcases - a large red one, a hand-carry in navy, and a weekender. I had brought two - a hand-carry and weekender.

20241231 my oldest nephew gave me a book of his to borrow at the cottage. It was a really old copy of Beowulf by J.R.R. Tolkien with a red, white and black cover, and yellowing, frayed pages. He's five and a half years old and can barely read.

20130530 Cookie and I were on a cottage trip in a forest with many trees. We shared a house with his university friends, Peach,Tomato, Mango, Papaya, Persimmon, Blackberry and Raspberry. His sister, her husband and two small children were staying at another cottage nearby.
We arrived at the cottage at dusk. It was a small, compact house with peeling white paint, and old rotting, splintering wood.
