Christmas food from the last few days. Mushroom and butternut squash Wellington, which was delicious again. I need to Wellington other things throughout the year. Brussels sprout salad. Yukon gold and sweet potato gratin. Star breads (rolled out by wine bottle) but I forgot to photograph the finished product. Chex mix. A plate of cookies for Santa and bok choy for Rudolph—including my mom’s delicious bonbon and meltaway cookies. #christmas #dinner #dessert #food #wellington #gratin #starbread #cookies #brusselsprouts #cooking #baking #homecooking #homebaking #delicious #tasty #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmssqu7L3Cg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Starbread that the amnesiac Ritsuka makes to mark the end of her journey and the beginning of the new home in chapter 16: The Maggot and the Earthbound Star 4.0.

I meant to include a note about this bread at the end of the chapter, but I was too tired the night I finished that chapter. In any case, the proper name for this bread is Solstice Bread and there's a long pagan tradition behind this bread. Depending on the location and local beliefs, it can either be called sun bread or star bread, and there are a lot of variations in the details of the bread. It can be either savory or sweet since people typically use whatever is available around the time of its making. It can carry different meanings. At its core, it is a bread that is meant for communal enjoyment and made in celebration of the seasons.

Well, I personally know only surface-level stuff about the solstice bread, but I find it to be a beautiful bread and a beautiful tradition.

Journal Entry 10/29/2024

The Psych Exam – A Step Closer to Becoming an Officer: Woke up early at 7:30 a.m. to head to DSH for my online psych test. The process was much longer than expected, and finding parking felt like an eternity. The email wasn’t kidding—parking there is a nightmare. After circling around, I managed to park right in front of the DSH Police Department. The first thing I noticed? Chargers. I thought, “Daaaang, they’ve got budget for Chargers!?”

The admin building was a quick 2-minute walk, but it was still surreal being surrounded by officers and staff—a glimpse into the environment I’ll hopefully work in soon. When I got to the third floor, I had a nice chat with a Filipina nurse in Tagalog before heading to HR. I checked in, letting them know I was there for my psych exam, and waited for a few minutes until one of the HR staff called us to follow him to the testing area.

Contingent Offer & Psych Test Details: Before we could start the exam, the HR guy handed us some paperwork to sign, and the first one was a contingent offer letter. My heart skipped a beat—finally, an offer! It’s not official yet, of course, but getting a contingent offer is a big step. The letter read: “Office of Protective Services, Department of State Hospitals,” with the OPS logo right on top. I signed the paper, feeling proud of making it this far.

The HR guy explained the remaining steps I need to pass before the job becomes official:

Physical Agility Test (PAT)

Medical Exam

Online Psychological Evaluation

One-on-One Psychological Interview

Since I already passed the background check and completed PC 832, I’m on the home stretch. They also asked about nepotism, confirming if I knew anyone working at DSH—which I don’t, so I’m clear there.

The psych evaluation itself was a marathon. I had to go through:

Personality Test

California Psychological Inventory™ (CPI)

Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI)

I honestly had no clue how to prepare for these tests, so I just answered truthfully. The questions were repetitive at times, but I stayed focused, knowing this was part of the process. Two hours later, I was done. Finally.

Celebration Stop – Starbread Filipino Bakery: To reward myself for surviving the psych test, I made a 12-minute detour to Cerritos to visit Starbread. I ended up buying 30 pieces of Spanish bread—couldn’t help myself! The drive home was awful, though. What was supposed to be 25 minutes turned into an hour due to a traffic incident. The stop-and-go traffic drove me insane, but I managed to stay calm knowing I’d survived the test.

Catching Up on Work & Workout Routine: Once I got home, I jumped on my computer to catch up on work. There were some tasks that needed my attention, and I spent a good amount of time wrapping things up before heading out to Planet Fitness. I did a 15-minute bike workout to start preparing for the PAT—I want to feel confident going into it, so building some stamina is crucial.

After the workout, I got back home just in time for the 3:45 p.m. meeting, which went by quickly. It was uneventful but gave me a chance to reset before the World Series Game 4.

World Series Game 4 – A Painful Loss: The Dodgers game was rough to watch. We were dominating early in the game, but everything fell apart, and the Yankees came back strong, winning 11-4. It was hard to see the team stumble after starting so well. But at least the series is still 3-1—we’re one win away from taking it all. Hopefully, the momentum shifts back in our favor for Game 5.

Plans for Tomorrow – Vaccines and More Work: Tomorrow, I’ll be heading to the office to get my flu shot and COVID vaccine, and I have a medication drop-off for a patient scheduled. I plan to hit Planet Fitness again and do more bike workouts to keep building my endurance.

Reflections & Mental Health Check: Today was alright. I didn’t feel any depression—it seems like working out really helps me stay grounded. I’ll keep this routine going, especially with everything going on at work and the upcoming tests.

I’m feeling good about the steps I’ve taken today. Passing the psych exam felt like a huge accomplishment, and despite the Yankees winning, I’m still optimistic about tomorrow. One more game to win—and one step closer to the Academy.

Creamy tomato tortellini soup. My friend Amy posted this soup and it looked easy and delicious. Tonight was the perfect day for it, both because it was rainy and cool and soup sounded nice and also because I had pesto star bread and thought they would go nicely together. I played around a bit with the recipe since I didn’t have all the ingredients, but it turned out really tasty. #soup #tomato #tortellini #creamytomatotortellinisoup #bakerbynature #homemade #homecooking #starbread #pestostarbread #homebaking #baking #kingarthurbaking #dinner #delicious #tasty #yum (at Oakland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CirHOj3LT1G/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@pastryaffair cinnamon star bread is perfect for a chilly winter weekend baking project! And don’t leave out the buttery sweet dough flavor (find it in the baking aisle) - it’s worth getting for both baking AND smelling purposes 😆🌾 #outhereontheprairie #winterbaking #starbread #cinnamonstarbread
