My Day

Morning and Afternoon – Eating Big & Chilling

Hello There! Today, I saw a video, where they made fun of someone journaling with the line “Dear diary! haha”. So now I’m not writing dear diary anymore! 🙁

But what did I do today? Not too much. I slept until like 12. And then we had lunch at home. Usually, I can’t really eat, right after waking up. But today was different. I ate like a big boy (haha). That means like 4 sandwiches and 2 breads with jelly.

Then, in the afternoon, I just spent some time on my PC. Nothing that mentionable. My parents had some friends over (friends from my moms high-school time). It’s always somewhat funny with them. I can’t really put it into words, but yeah.

Dinner – Raclette

For dinner we had Raclette, which is always nice, but tomorrow, my tummy is gonna hurt in the morning. Well, only probably, since I didn’t eat too much.

Night – Watching Encanto

Then, after dinner I watched the movie “Encanto”. I fully embraced the movie watching. I even made myself some popcorn. (That means, I put a bag in the microwave.) Now to the movie:

This is a movie about a family, where everyone has a gift. For example, one is really strong, one has visions of the future, ones food heals wounds and so on. Except, the main character is the only one of the family who doesn’t have any such gift.
This gift is is dependent on the magic candle, which then gets really weak in the movie. So the main character has to save it.
Spoiler Alert: The solution is to love each other. So she has to make friends with her perfect sister (at least in the beginning).

What are the insights? Love is good! Nothing really new here. Also, it was nice, the really strong female had a song, where she said that sometimes she can’t lift more every time. Sometimes it’s too much load. Obviously not only physically speaking – but it was good, since she was the strong character.

There was also one scene, where I’ve seen Abuela’s past. She had to escape from her town with her husband and three babies, since they were attacked by thieves(?). Then these thieves were after them, and her husband sacrificed himself, so the others could get away.
In this scene, I imagined myself being the widow here. And I got some watery eyes. Which was quite surprising. I think, getting widowed it’s about the worst. Since: 1. in a relationship, you make the promise that you stay together forever. Now, if you get widowed, you made everything right (since neither broke up) but the worst still happened. So it’s a somewhat cruel fate from the universe. You do everything right, find the right partner, have it good, and then he dies. I think, this is even worse than being broken up with. Because like that, it was obviously not the correct partner (otherwise you wouldn’t break up). So then by death, all you did was right, but still. The worst outcome.

Now back to the movie review. They of course lose their power for a short time, but then in the end, they all get it back. I first thought, it would have been better, if they didn’t get their power back (because of consequences and so on) but then, it’s a children’s movie. So what can you really say?
Also, the main character didn’t get any power. Which I thought was really mean. I mean, of course, she saved the family through showing them, that love is what’s needed, but still. She was the one, who had to do all the things, and then, she was the worst off. Another kinda bad fate.

But the movie was good. 7/10. Not the best, but still good. Also had a few funny haha’s in it.

Drinking too much?

On a complete unrelated note: Today, I tracked how much water I drank. And it’s quite a lot. About 6 liters. And I didn’t do any physical activities. So I’m not too far off of my daily limit. I suspect, it’s because of the creatine, and the doing some lifting yesterday and the day before. So I guess, this is gonna go down in about a week.

That’s about all for today. I’ll see you again tomorrow. Take care, and see you then! Bye-Bye!
