Today was a nice day. After how productive I was yesterday I do feel slightly guilty for not being productive today. But it's fine. I had a nice day still.

I woke up this morning when James's alarm went off at 5 and they struggled to turn it off for a while and I was a little upset. But it was fine. I fell back asleep.

I woke up at 9 and didn't feel great. In those few hours I had some horrible dreams. Specifically that my entire face had psoriasis and I was like. Dehydrating and it was scary. But I got up and got ready for the day.

James made the bed. And we hung out for a little. They drank their coffee. I chilled on the couch. My hair felt very floofy and I was just slightly uncomfortable in my tights. They have a hole that needs to be mended. I will probably do that tomorrow. But today it just was slightly irritating.

I wanted to go to IKEA today. Not for anything really. Just to walk around and look at the spaces. And so we made a plan. IKEA, grocery store, laundry, and we would watch the last of us when we got home.

And that made today really nice.

We left here and drove out to White Marsh. And it was fun to go to IKEA. Got to see a little bit of the new collection everyone in TikTok loves. It's nice but way more expensive then I expected.

We pointed at the things we liked. James liked a few of of the dark kitchens with lots of shelves. I enjoyed thinking about the different wardrobes I would love to have and tables. It was just really nice walking around.

We didn't leave with nothing. We got some of the frozen veggie dogs and the toppings!! And we got a c to c type charger. Which ended up not working for what I wanted but it's all good.

After we paid (at self checkouts??) we went to the little fast food area (also self checkout!!!) to get snacks.

But the screen wouldn't let us chose veggie hotdogs. James asked and they said it would be 10 minutes. So we chose to wait. And it was worth it. We totally came at the most busy time. But we got a frozen yogurt and a cinnamon bun while we waited.

And the hotdogs were great. I felt really happy.

James was being a goof. And we were laughing because I couldn't see walking to the car because everything was glaring. But it was fine. Just very silly.

There was a giant grocery store (the brand not the size), and so we stopped there to get everything we needed. And we did pretty good with sales and deals. I got a few silly little things. Like the new strawberry Dr pepper. And mangos. But we did good and soon (after a long stop at the customer service desk to get quarters) we headed home.

When we got back here we brought everything in and James put stuff away. I was tired. I wanted to nap. But it never happened. I would just sort of feel exhausted and miserable for the next few hours. Despite trying to calm my brain down enough to nap, I couldn't get myself to stop thinking about stuff.

I would actually get some lesson plan stuff done for the summer. I want to have some semblance of a plan to show Alexi on Wednesday. I plan on working on that tomorrow but at least I have all my reference images ready to go.

James warned me up pizza from yesterday. I never actually ate any of it last night. Instead I had a PB and j. And we chilled in bed together. My head started feeling really horrible. I couldn't shake it for hours. It is finally feeling a little better but I thought I was going to throw up it hurt so bad. Thankfully never did but man that was not fun.

I would play fetch with Sweetp for a little. I went and took a bath but the water was to cool. Even when James added two kettles of water. But it helped make me feel a little better but not much.

Once I was in jammies we set up in James's room and watched the last two released episodes of last of us. I wound two balls of yarn. And cuddled with sweetp. And had some birthday cake with some aspirin on the side.

And the episodes were great. Heartbreaking but really good. We also went back and watched all the behind the scenes clips which were so good!! I love behind the scenes things.

Now we are in bed. And I am slowly feeling better. I am going to go brush my teeth and try to get to sleep before midnight.

James has a conference tomorrow. I am jealous. I hope it's so much fun. And I hope to have a productive day. I have mending to do. And I want to make sure all my stuff is ready for my workshop this weekend. And do my lesson planning. If I could finish that I would be so excited. But we'll see what happens.

I hope you all have a great night. Sleep well. Be safe!

Dick Grayson had a coffee journal, baking journal, cooking journal (along w others like car/bike journal (he built his own motorcycle for fun then taught himself how to ride)). He always had to be busy and bettering himself so eventually he tried learning how to cook and bake and be a barista. He would do research on how to make something write tons of recipes and equations down to pop every single kernel or perfectly aerate the milk to get the right texture.Then take notes about the process and outcome in his journal until he perfected it and moved on to the next subject.

Every morning Bruce would wake up drink black coffee and eat a breakfast prepared by Alfred. Dick was definitely the most independent out of all the Robins, he dictated everything in his own schedule and while he did have a few routines he mostly did whatever he wanted. He graduated valedictorian with perfect attendance at 14 because he hacked the attendance records. He was apart of debate, math-let’s, drama, gymnastics, yearbook, prom, student council, and he was cheer captain. He never showed up to class or practices, only meets, championships, games, and tests. Somehow always winning or getting the highest score and always completing homework. He also tutored on fridays.

One routine Dick almost always stuck to was his morning routine, he didn’t like sleeping bc nightmares and the fear of being unconscious kept him awake as long as he could stand. Around five he would go to his personal gym and start on stretches, then go to gymnastics, around 6:30 he would go for a run and get a smoothie bowl from his favorite shop then head home. He would then do aerial ballet and practice hand to hand combat, then weapons mainly things like knife throwing, baterang aim, staff, and escrima sticks, then cool down with ballet. Around 7 Bruce would wake up. After training Dick would start on missions.

When Bruce would go to work there’d be sticky notes on his desk something from Dick along the lines of, “Hi B! Today I made a wet cappuccino, I gave you four shots of espresso with two pumps of vanilla flavoring. Cappuccinos are different than the latte I made last week because you aerate the milk longer to make more foam. This cappuccino is wet because I left the steamed milk in, instead of a dry one which I’m gonna make next!” His drink would be sitting in a thermos still warm and steaming.

He didn’t get one everyday, only when Dick felt his drinks were good enough for B to try. And to be fair it wasn’t always all that tasty.

Dick also made B lunch everyday. At first some of his employees laughed bc “a billionaire eating a sack lunch!?” It was usually just like a small salad (Dick was actually very proud of learning how to make a basic salad), some type of sandwich (as time went on, sometimes they’d be grilled and fancy like a panini), and something like grapes, and finally usually some type of pastry Alfred made. These sack lunches always came with at least one note stuck on the outside of the bag w something like “Hi B! Good morning and afternoon! I made you a PB&J and I got the sweet purple grapes and also Alfred made a really good peach tart! I had one with my smoothie this morning it’s very good! I also wanted to make you kettle corn because that was one of my favorite foods when I was younger but I’m still working on it:(. And then usually a sign off with a tiny bird or heart.

On days when there were two notes in the bag were always B favorite. Sometimes it meant Dick made something he felt was good enough for B. And much like the coffee notes would describe what the food was and how he made it. Other times it was just useless additional information like, “I tried to make toast for breakfast today so I did research last night and completed the equations and it came out beautifully golden and crunchy but not too crunchy. But then after like twenty seconds I was holding it and it just burst into flame…. And then the toaster also burst into flame. Don’t tell Alfred (I’m pretty sure he already knows)

Bruce kept every single one of these notes. He still has each one carefully laminated and stuck in a shoe box in his closet. Sometimes when he fights w the younger ones or if he bonds w the younger ones or if he just plain misses his first (and favorite) son, he’ll open the box and read through them logging the date and remembering how old Dick was, what he did that month. Did he go to Dick’s cheer tournament? No he never did. Dick won a trophy for that gymnastics routine later that day right? He should go check the trophy room to make sure.

Sometimes he’ll stare at his phone hovering over the call button. He never does, he’s always been horrible at talking about feelings but Dick never was. And when he visits home, Bruce knows it’s only for the other kids, because Tim’s been struggling, because Cass wants to dance and watch Disney movies or she has a new fantasy book but she’d rather he read it (she does this w Jason too but he’s rarely around so Dick stepped in he tries to justice to J’s story telling), or it’s waffle Wednesday w steph (she’ll discuss everything they’re gonna do and talk about it all week bragging really and b can’t blame her for having pride in a loving happy family, he’d prideful too), or Damian wanted Dick to come over instead of visiting him at Wally’s apartment because “Pennyworth (the cat) misses you that is all”, or he’s dragging Jason back for a nice family dinner. And Bruce knows he’s here for them, that Dick would never come home just for Bruce. But then Dick comes over with a fancy home brewed coffee with fancy cream art and smile at him like he’s still just a tiny little kid, and Bruce is reminded that yes he made mistakes but Dick will always view him as his father and will always love him. And Bruce knows that even though he can’t articulate or show his pride and admiration and limitless love Dick knows.

How many whole fish have you consumed in the past year?: I am HOWLING at the wording of this question. And I don’t eat seafood of any kind so my answer is zero.

Have you ever considered being a garbage man just for the money?: I have not. When was the last time you bought something at Walmart?: It’s been a few months since I’ve even stepped foot in one, actually.

Do you find shopping there disgusting?: No, I actually find it fun! Have you ever had a hamster?: I’m terrified of rodents so that’s a hard no. Does your mom dance in the kitchen?: Oh, she is notorious for that! And thanks to her, I can’t cook without music playing, specifically Van Morrison. What year do you wish you were born in?: I would’ve loved to experience the ‘80′s as a teenager/young adult, so I guess I wish I was born in the late 60′s/early 70′s?

Would you ever consider going into space?: The thought paralyzes me What would you do for a Kit Kat that you wouldn’t do for a Klondike bar?: I wouldn’t go out of my way for either Do you enjoy the taste of sardines?: I haven’t tried them but since I don’t eat/care for fish, I’d assume I’d hate them. Why/Why not?: If you had a choice, would you rather eat chicken or beef?: I’m a vegetarian so.... pass?

I love sharp or salty cheeses best, though. A nice Dublin cheddar might be my favorite. Would you prefer bacon or sausage?: If we’re talking veggie/faux meat then I do like Morningstar breakfast sausage How many books have you read in the past YEAR?: In this calendar year I’ve read an embarrassingly small number of books (blame the quarantine depression).

Or do you think she’s a fraud?: She’s most certainly a fraud. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t love watching her every Wednesday on Montel! Do you enjoy classical music?: For background noise, sure. But it’s not something I sit down & listen to otherwise. Can you play the tuba?: I can’t play any instruments. Do you know how to play the recorder?: Ok maybe I lied in the previous question. I could probably remember “Hot Cross Buns” from elementary school. But that’d be it. What is a harpsichord?: No idea. Can you play one?: Clearly not Have you ever wished you were born the opposite sex?: Never Have you ever taken a survey like this?: This was certainly one of the weirder ones in my experience...
