Apparently, today is Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year. This concept has been debunked many times, so this day isn’t necessarily valid anymore. Anyway, the whole month of January is depressing and cold.

I wanted to go to Starbucks to collect some stars and get myself a coffee to shake off the morning gloom, especially since I woke up at the crack of dawn. But when I got there, the side door was closed. I didn’t feel like walking around to the main entrance, so I got back in my car and grabbed a coffee from McCafe instead. Their flat white is pretty good too.

I was listening to Morning Glory on Rock FM this morning since they’re back from vacation. But after dropping Caleb off at kindergarten, the radio switched to Digi FM. Over there, the two morning show hosts, whom I’d listened to a bit during the Morning Glory break and thought were okay, started mocking Donald Trump. They called him crazy, said he’s going to sign too many executive orders on his first day, and all sorts of things… And I just sat there thinking, what has this world come to? I’m not a die-hard Trump fan, but the man was voted in by an overwhelming majority of his country. Yet two random morning show hosts in a second-to-third world country are mocking the #1 man in the world in terms of power.

It’s been a while since I last drove a white car, and I remembered why I don’t like driving one during this season of mud and dampness.

I wasn’t paying attention this morning, but Bitcoin hit a new all-time high: $110,000. At the same time, though, altcoins are still in a clinical coma.

That’s it for today, though I feel like I wanted to write something else but forgot. Oh, right—I want to try writing more often on the blog this year, both in English and Romanian.

Have a great day!
