You really sat with me whilst I wrote all that? I went on a whole other James Bond 007 Taiwanese version political tangent pre-emptive forewarning of something that turned out to still be nothing and doesn’t even affect our day to day lives, and you’re still sitting with me energetically as I type?
(Chuckles) Yes. I’m still here. (Smiles)
Why?
Because you’re cute…
(Giggles)
Well… I can tell you that, today I also caught up with Best Friend…
Oh?
And she is hosting hot pot at her house for Chinese New Year! (Lunar New Year)
(Smiles)
Yes, it’ll be a nice gathering of Millennial friends. Small but nice gathering.
Good.
And… we tried a café that… seemed nice on Instagram, but… when I got there, I didn’t really like it.
What didn’t you like about it?
It was too noisy. And I felt like I had to SHOUT TO TALK — and I don’t like that. Normally I don’t mind, but I’m still recovering from whatever bug I’ve got in my chest — still taking herbs — can feel it’s getting better but it doesn’t help to try to shout to talk!
Oh, that’s not good…
Yeah. Well it wasn’t for too long. Then I also went to Costco.
Didn’t you go already?!
No! That day when I wanted to go and I thought it was open — I drove all the way there — and it was still closed! So today I went. I got some protein (salmon and chicken), I got some snacks… dried mango, dried mushrooms. I like changing my snacks, it’ll be different each Costco visit. Same with the protein. I mean I kind of rotate between a few variations. And… oh, I got Kimchi.
Kimchi?
Yes! Costco Kimchi… it was like… $6.99 for 1.2 kg’s…
That’s pretty good!
Is it?! I don’t even know. I also got artichokes.
You like artichokes?
Yes… from time to time. I go through phases.
And… I forgot what else I bought. Just some other daily necessities.
Daily necessities. Like what?
Like mouthwash. That’s it. I bought mouthwash.
Okay, so you use mouthwash.
Of course! Who doesn’t?!
I’m not sure.
Well I hope YOU DO! It’s a nice, fresh feeling… after brushing and flossing?
(Chuckles)
Well… I had a co-worker once tell me, “Everybody is brushing and flossing the wrong way around! You’re supposed to rinse with mouthwash FIRST, then floss, then brush!” And the rest of us were really puzzled, like, we’ve never heard that before… nobody has yet checked with a dentist, but I have no idea where she got that information from!
Internet dental hygiene misinformation memes…?
Yes! Exactly! It’s so random but it is still misinformation!
Maybe it was AI generated and it just jumbled up the correct order.
Right?!?! Maybe that’s what it is.
