I cannot believe that it is already MAY!!! Insane.

1. I had some good food with a friend who wears rad t-shirts.
2. I also had some good brews with more good friends at the Nikkei Student Union 10th anniversary event in Berkeley.
3. I slept through the day for almost half of this month…when you add it up, I worked 6 overnighters and spent an additional 7 days recovering.
4. Luckily I didn’t forget what the sunrise looks like.
5. I spent a considerable amount of time waiting for trains to pull up to the platform. (It was also Earth Day in April – which reminded me that transit is annoying but I am also living up to one of my idealistic goals that I set in college – to support public transit whenever possible.)
6. I also spent some time above ground – running along the embarcadero – which offered some great views.
7. I tried to work out some more. Key word:  tried.
8. I went shoe shopping and had a difficult time deciding between these two shoes. (First world problems.)
9. I started shopping for Mother’s Day (right around the corner!)
10. I also took in some new sights in the Financial District.
11. I also took up being a part-time vegan! (Food from Juicy Lucy’s.)
12. Some vegan days were more desperate than others. (Almonds, dried apricots, and Rockstar are all vegan!)

All in all, I really can’t believe the month is already over. It went by faster than I realized, probably because I spent over a week sleeping during the day! April brought a good round of great weather AND my vitamin D treatment seems to be working now, so I experienced a lot less chronic fatigue this month (YAY!).

I found out that my older cousin (on my dad’s side) and my younger cousin (on my mom’s side) share an April birthday – I cannot believe that the younger cousin turned 18. His mama is my mom’s youngest sister, so she was the “cool young aunt” when I was growing up…this officially makes me feel old!

I also cleared a business-y hurdle (business registration) and plan to tackle a few more in the coming month. I spent some time discussing how ridiculous it all is with a friend who owns his own business in San Francisco.

In terms of my blog, Paper Gatti sponsored its first blog (dianapantz!) and through that Paper Gatti had its first giveaway (it’s open through tomorrow!! go enter it now! I’m giving away stuff before my shop is even open!). I also saw traffic go WAY up in response to my DIY canvas tutorial – exciting! I also completed another DIY project – a tshirt scarf – and completed a couple more afterwards as gifts.

May promises some fun times at a Giant’s game, and I have some fun times with friends lined up. Cinco de Mayo is coming up, as well as Bay To Breakers – both events bring some extra fun to the city. And don’t forget…mother’s day is in May as well!

Food, Life
