∞ 84: Solace from time's passage [action/written]

[Today Albert is in the sitting room of his house, leafing through a few books idly. The weather is disappointingly rainy for summer, but it's a pleasant change from the heat earlier in the week.

Eventually, he will fall asleep on the couch. It was just supposed to be a nap -- half an hour at most. But that half an hour turns into a whole hour. And then two. (This may even repeat in his bedroom later on.)

Sometime later in the evening, he will write in his journal.]


Accomplishments could be said to be life's milestones. Some are far apart, and others are so close together that they may very well overlap. Some may be considered mundane, and others utterly unique to your circumstances.

If you are willing, I would like to hear of a mundane accomplishment. Something that others could relate to. I will share one of my own: I graduated from school as a teenager.

[She shrugs a little.] I can't say satisfying is a word that I would ever apply to my dreams.

I'm... glad that you rested well, then.

Today just seemed like a good day to take care of errands and start a few projects. [... And finish them.]

... All right, perhaps just a little more than a few. I also stocked the kitchen, so we don't need to worry about food. Oh! And I also found these perfect little lights for the garden. They seem to absorb sunlight during the day, so they can keep the area lit at night. Unfortunately I don't know if it'll work very well tonight due to the weather we're having.

[She waits with an expectant look once she finishes, blinking at him questioningly.] ...?

I do feel like I have a lot more energy than usual today. It just seemed ... logical to put it into crafts.

Ha, ha. She just shakes her head at that.]

... Although, I wonder if anything else needs doing today.

You must be famished after sleeping all day. And it's been so long since I've tried out any new recipes...
wise_maiden: (listen up and take notes)

... Of course it's a recipe! Once I reach a culinary breakthrough, I can then record the process.

It will truly be wondrous~! ♥

[... Given that dinner was nowhere near her mind, she honestly doesn't have a clue. Her expression falters to something rather blank as she considers.] W-ell, I could try perfecting on my rice-stuffed lemon dish...

... That's why it was a work in progress. If I could find out where things went wrong, then surely it would be better?
