那些從生活裡消失的這些那些。革命尚未完成，同志仍須努力。不要急。

Billy 和他的帝國首都生活，已近尾聲。

$100k morning:
經過連續一週的雨日，哇哩沒電了一直想睡覺，決定週末要睡到自然醒。
睜開眼睛看到反射在窗外粗石子牆的陽光，好像也還沒睡飽，賴床，滾來滾去。
在自己喜歡的狀態下起床，沖比平常久一點的澡，怎麼感覺很久沒洗澡了呢（？）
打開浴室的門，涼涼的風吹在身上，窗台上的盆栽們在陽光微風裡，看起來也很開心的樣子。
想到中午要跟狐狸吃飯，決定幫自己做一杯密斯朵就好。很好喝。
之前買的島國大包裝掛耳包默默地也快喝完了呢。
坐在矮桌前喝著咖啡吹著涼風翻書，決定晚點再搭直達車出門。
是為年收十萬鎂的生活品質。

$100k evening:
突然想吃炸雞，早早下班後去排隊，雖然議場裡有大量訂單，但還是順利取得，邊走邊吃。
路上買了一包水餃和花雕雞材料。
到家後先決定要看的電影，估算時間，還早，可以先去慢跑。
但前一天已經跑了，於是走了一下，然後拉筋，真是舒服。
回家洗好澡晾好衣服，帶上一罐薑汁汽水，開始看 Last Night.
昨天是 Natalie Portman 今天是 Keira Knightly. Hahaha.
把頭髮吹乾，可以睡覺了。
是為年收十萬鎂的生活品質。

Notes without Shizuku.
從帝國首都回來三週，旅遊記實剩下一天，但日記君已經長草一個月。
決定趁著假期寫一些印象深刻的事情。

Happiness / a black hole:
A black hole shows up again in the Family.
It absorbs everthing, lights, love, and time.
It's sad and frustrated.
But fortunately human beings learn from each other.
We don't have to experience the darkness ourselves to know how desperate it is;
we can be grateful for our own plain lives by only regarding the pain of others.
I was struggling with the black hole near me,
but since I've been witness & experiencing the "space trip" for a few times,
I know I'm getting better handling the difficulties.
I'm getting stronger, with more and more gratitude & understanding for my own life.
Thank you, Mom.

Atlas Shrgged. Shrugging.

芭樂漁網：
I should have known how to say this in English.
Basically practing what I've learnt from HW+AT:
1 the key is not what you buy; the key is at what price you buy.
2 forget about the price you acquire an investment;
it's an useless reference point although it apparently means a lot to you.
Rule 2 is more challenging for me, getting the hang of it though.
Feeling good when the seemingly joking price bids still make deals.

Feeling proud when paying the tax & doing something for my country.
Hopefully I'm not alone.
收稅單看到所得和捐款列表會有成就感。
再度提醒自己「扣抵到不用繳稅」的目標，真實意思是納涼收益增加，用稅單檢查一目了然。
「大家今年減稅有感嗎？」「我原始應繳的比去年多耶。」
「蛤為什麼？」「因為收入增加。」「（默）」
難道一定要大家一起窮一起等減稅減到不用繳稅才可以嗎⋯⋯
稅制對擴張納涼收益的阿窮來說，的確貌似有bug，
但就算每個阿窮都點滿也才差八百億而已，感謝好野的精明的朋友們突破盲腸。

Money is not everything.
It's only an index that people (mistakenly) think measures everything.

能自己打掃煮食是幸福的事。
流程：刷襯衫裙子（不敢再用黑肥皂啦，洗碗精是好朋友）浸泡，
收集其他要洗的淺色衣物，放洗衣機，最低水量加一湯匙黑肥皂一點點洗衣精，調鬧鐘。
剩下來的洗碗精溶液擦廚房裡手會碰到的各種表面們，擦開關，擦餐桌，洗抹布，
仍然剩下的倒進拖把水桶加入漂白水，掃地拖地。
晾衣服。把自己洗乾淨。開心。

Practicing Doi dining.
Everything can be a part of delicious miso soup.
