I continue my descent into spending because I guess that's just what I am now (all I really have left to go though is my plane tickets from Jakarta to Palu, Malang to Jakarta, and when I get things more planned Labuan Bajo to Surabaya. Oh and lodging, which will probably run me another $300 or so over the course of the trip. Probably less honestly, hostels in Jakarta and Malang are cheap and I have free housing in Surabaya). Got a bunch of cheap records plus some other stuff for Bandcamp Friday. But enough about my bad habits...and it's not like I don't have a healthy investment account plus I'm earning like a net of $400+ more a month compared to the beginning of summer (2 roommates instead of 1 and also 10% pay bump). I'll probably still have some to put away post trip.
Anyway, got up and was lazy going running. Decided to do a 5k (well 3.2 miles) and see how fast I could do it. The goal was sub 8, so I set my timer for 25 minutes. Unfortunately I couldn't quite do it. I was like 30-45 seconds behind schedule by the time I hit the 1.2 miles to go point and only had like 3 minutes with half a mile remaining. Eventually completed the circuit in around 26:10 or 26:15, leading to a pace around 8:12/mile. So much better than last time (and more consistent) but still not quite as fast as I'd like. Basically collapsed for like an hour after that. Showered, ate lunch, went to my office. Did some work, read some stuff. Called Walgreens to get a price quote and an order for the typhoid vaccine, but they need a prescription first, so I emailed the travel clinic to hopefully get that done on like Tuesday.
Checked out the local outdoors store since they were having a sale but they didn't have the dry bag I was looking for. Went home and mostly just read and thought about DnD stuff. Backed a kickstarter to get a pdf and softcover book from one producer I like and put myself on a list for another one. Pretty basic stuff. Realized I should probably do this. And that's about it.
I have a brunch in the morning tomorrow and then there's a food truck/stall festival in the afternoon/evening. So that's exciting. Busy day.
