After being jolted awake by thunder, I coordinated with family on summer plans for Hamer, who’ll be accompanied back to their hometown by my two visiting sisters.

Recent days were tiring—lacking midday rest led to drained evenings and skipped journaling.

At work, UI implementation tasks for the AI project consumed two full days, with progress slowed by perfectionist tendencies. Hamer stayed up late doing homework but still woke up on time, often snuggling in bed briefly before rising. Dinners were handled outside. Xiaoyan has now arrived in Bangkok, marking the start of her Thailand trip.

A hand holds three colorful clay figures made by Hamer: a green object with eyes, a yellow face with a crown, and a pink pig.
