Mei's days in San Francisco

Today, Wednesday 7 October

1. 7:12amMatcha tasted like yesterday's argument still settling
2. 11:05amSmaller buttons won, nobody mentioned it

On her mind: Fog has kept the city quiet three nights straight

Tuesday 6 October

1. 7:18amMatcha bowl still warm when the fog finally thinned
2. 12:46pmCould not stop thinking about how the new buttons crowd the card
3. 5:05pmSalt water at baker beach took the breath right out of me
4. 8:31pmLate dumplings downtown gone in two bites, paper bag already greasy
5. 10:55pmStood on the roof listening to the city go quiet beneath the fog

Monday 5 October

1. 7:42amMatcha over the sink, spoon still clinking when fog lifted
2. 1:15pmWalked Baker in wind so sharp my ears hurt
3. 7:05pmThird round of the dumpling place, broth still steaming
4. 9:40pmRooftop bar closed early, sat on the curb with the city below
5. 10:55pmStill thinking about that button debate, maybe the smaller one wins

Sunday 4 October

1. 7:14amFog thick enough to cancel the morning swim
2. 1:42pmRushed through the dry dumplings because the kitchen looked quiet
3. 6:05pmMatcha made a little too strong and left on the ledge
4. 9:28pmRooftop closed early for some private party nobody posted about
5. 10:51pmTook the longer walk home just to watch the lights come on over the water

Saturday 3 October

1. 7:30amMatcha steeped dark while fog swallowed the hills
2. 1:45pmAfternoon sun too bright on the walk back from the market
3. 5:20pmBaker beach water cold enough to make everything else fade
4. 8:45pmQuiet rooftop bar with the city lights coming on slow
5. 10:15pmLast dumplings tasted like the end of a long day
