Was there an expectation for you to attend higher education? Did you participate in any form of higher education? If yes, how did you pay for it?
At what age did you become financially responsible for yourself and do you have a financial safety net? 1:45 p.m. — I schedule the social media posts for our business for the day. Then I turn on my work computer and answer emails. I check our online store to make sure everything is running smoothly and then I check our inventory, before joining J. to help with packing.4 p.m. — I go into our home studio to take photos and videos of our new products before the beautiful sunlight goes away. Ever since I started doing this, I get unreasonably excited whenever I come across good natural lighting.
6:25 p.m. — J. makes us miso-glazed Chilean sea bass with a side of black pepper-roasted brussels sprouts. I honestly could have these all day. We get back to work after the meal.12 a.m. — I get started on the coconut cake for J.'s dad. I play ABBA in the background and hum along as I bake. Baking has always been therapeutic for me so I take the time to enjoy this.
6:30 p.m. — We meet J.'s parents for his dad's birthday dinner at a Japanese restaurant that we've been meaning to try out. The restaurant was able to serve us the coconut cake I brought over . The total bill including tip is $211.91, J. pays. 2:15 p.m. — We watch a tennis match on TV while I answer customer emails and sip on some coffee, and J. hands off the shipments to the other USPS trucks. The player we're rooting for wins the match, yay!
1:15 a.m. — I do some yoga, then get ready for bed. I decide to sleep a bit earlier than I usually do to compensate for the bad sleep I got last night. Plus, I'm really tired. Before falling asleep, I text my dad asking him how he's feeling today; he replies with a funny sticker that's slightly reassuring.12:10 p.m. — I wake up, get ready for the day and join J. downstairs. We watch another tennis match while I answer emails and drink my coffee.
