大家有沒有被地震嚇到呢？台北搖得好厲害，潔西在一樓，桌子整張都在搖，嚇死了，門也搖得超厲害的，不過沒有像上次坐捷運時一樣，所有人的地震警報都響起來，這次在星巴克，很安靜，沒有聽到有任何人的警報在響，真奇怪。還好目前為止似乎都沒有災情傳出。是需要不時釋放一下壓力，跟人一樣，累積太久爆發可能會很嚴重就不太好了。

潔西剛剛從捷運站走路回家，走到沒有人的地方，還小跑步了一下，哈哈，人太多的地方不能嚇人，人少的地方就小跑，平常沒在跑的人，喘到一個加上戴口罩，覺得都快要不能呼吸了啊！不過走路回家的感覺真好，好久沒有從板橋捷運站走回來了。因為最近天氣都不太好，不太能走呢。

有沒有人跟潔西一樣天氣冷了，下雨了，運動就偷懶了呢？一定有吧！潔西今天早上起來的時候超沮喪的，不知道為什麼，真的覺得人生一點意義都沒有。前幾天突然部落格的人數掉了一千多，完全都沒有原因，每天都變成少了一千多，有點慘，然後發現自己的部落格很亂。剛好昨天有人問到一個網頁裡面的文章不知道為什麼連結全部都壞掉了，昨天晚上睡前弄了兩個多小時又發現，我的部落格真的是，其他東西很多，怎麼沒有好好整理，亂七八糟，人家要找東西也找不到吧。很多可以做的事，很多文章想重寫。可惡，為什麼我不能好好打起精神來好好做我想要做的事。生氣。

今天一直在整理部落格，坐到全身痠痛，進度有，但是覺得做得有點絕望，因為整理了，標籤分好了，也不見得有人看，十年了耶，潔西寫部落格，真的有人看十年了嗎？最久的看了多久啊，好好奇喔，有沒有人要報一下年份的？潔西的廢文看了多久了？當作茶餘飯後隨便翻一下看一下。潔西自己也很佩服自己喔，一寫可以寫十年，每天還有這麼多廢話可以說，哈哈哈，真的不是每個人都可以寫得出來的啦。

肚子超級餓，昨天後來偷偷吃了宵夜，今天要不要光明正大的吃呢？但是幾天早上體重有略減，但是餓下去可能睡不著，地雷馬又出來了 dilemma ，也就是兩難的意思.

Jessie faces the dilemma of gaining weight or not being able to sleep. 潔西面對的兩難是變胖還是不能睡。 

吃點東西洗澡去吧！早上量體重有變瘦了，今天就讓他肥一下好了。晚安晚安！
