yesterday around like four a.m. a friend of mine called me on the phone. i had gone to bed somewhat early the night before, so i was able to wake up when the phone rang. i answered and they asked me whether they should drive to the beach to see the sunset. i was going to ask a follow up question before giving my input but they told me yes or no. i said yes. i also told them it was a sunrise not sunset. they called back a while later and theyre at the beach. i want to say they showed me the ocean, at least what was visible at that twilight hour, before hanging up. called again briefly to say they lost thier car keys. i, remembering a similar story my friend j had told me, suggested they check their pockets. they found them and hung up. got a final call around sunrise. they showed me the waves crashing around them, while on a stone jetty. it was pretty

i thought about it more at work. honeslty felt like a dream. like, to wake up to phone calls and a view of the sunrise at the beach. unexpected

i got a coffee on the house today at the bagel place i go to. i stopped on my way to work, since i was nearby picking up a book from the library. i finally checked out leonard cohen's 'a book of longing'. had it in my amazon cart since late 2016 when he died and i figured i should read his work. forgot about it til someone i follow on ig posted a poem by him. was gonna ask if they've read 'a book of longing' and am glad i didn't cause the poem was from it and i would've had to be like "yeah no i havent read it myself actually" or whatever. anyway, i put it on hold and picked it up today. at the bagel place i ordered a bagel for me and each of my coworkers. when it prompted for the tip i said no tip, since i was gonna leave cash. the cahsier said thank you and turned around. don't think she saw me leave the tip, though. which is why when i was offered the free coffee i figured it was cause there was some leftover and they were closing soon. but i feel they wouldn;t have done that if i hadnt tipped at all? so maybe someone did see... anyways i tried to drive to work with a coffee in one hand but, being on a motorbike, it did not work well. made it two blocks before i had to pull over and drink about half and then toss the rest. got stains on the left side of my shirt. and on my left sock. pants too, but they're black so it didn't matter
