June 2023, 🎡 peaceful summer
我又在回家的时候开始听罗百吉的摩天轮，乱感觉，一下好像回到了初中的时光。也许别人觉得这样的音乐有些土，但是这些音乐给我很大的安慰。
Some thoughts
I feel somewhat ashamed of my current health situation. I have gained around 20 pounds in 2021, and my weight has remained relatively stable since then. Over the past year, my IBS syndrome has become more difficult to manage. Additionally, I have developed a few persistent cysts on my face that haven't responded to home remedies after a year.
That being said, I am actively working on improving my personal health. My goal is to attain mental strength, inner peace, and take better care of myself physically. This can be achieved by: 1) increasing my water intake throughout the day; 2) reducing the frequency of DoorDash deliveries; 3) engaging in regular exercise, particularly outdoor activities during the summer.
I have been putting off arranging my trip back to China, mostly due to the exorbitant ticket prices. However, last night I had a dream about my Grandma, and it made me realize that she is calling me home. In my dream, she appeared youthful and healthy. Nowadays, she tends to forget things and lose track of time and space. She is also confined to a wheelchair. Consequently, I am now prioritizing the organization of my trip to China in September, especially considering that the ticket prices have dropped.
Starting to work with React on the front-end has been a somewhat challenging experience at my job. Engineering work has always been demanding and arduous. Nevertheless, I am grateful to have a supportive team. This year, I hope to dedicate more time to delivering front-end projects.
Happy Memories:
Attending Italian Day and Greek Day. I thoroughly enjoyed both events, especially the vibrant atmosphere with numerous people.
Visiting a family friend's house to play Sanguosha, hosting them and cooking food for them, as well as visiting a friend's new house and sharing a hotpot meal together.
Playing various other games both during and after work.
Riding the Ferris wheel at an amusement park on 6/1.
Despite the many frustrations and challenges I face, I am grateful for this blessed life and everything that God has bestowed upon me. I genuinely hope to spend more time outdoors this summer, as circumstances allow.
