Today is my day off. I did the usual chores and cleaning. My parents stopped by for a coffee and now I’m alone. I put away the rest of the laundry and now I’m left to do with the rest of my day as I please.

I’m almost done the book I’ve been reading: this is not the end of me. It follows the final years in the life of a stage 4 cancer patient… it’s a true story. I wanted to finish the book last night but I found myself crying at some of the passages and needed to take a breather. I only have 20 pages left so I will finish it now.

I’ve been thinking about what I want to read next and I browsed through my library of unread books. I found one: The Cafe by the Sea. I’ve been wanting to switch back to light fiction for a while now so this book is perfect. Also, I’ve been dreaming about my times by the ocean and sitting by the water sipping tea, or pink lemonade (my favourite) or a coffee.

I hope this next book transports me to the water. And hopefully next year I can take a vacation that will bring me to the ocean side on the beach or at a cafe. I’ve been longing for the ocean since my last trip in 2018. It will soon come.
