Two weeks into November…though it’s suddenly as if time has slowed to crawling. I’ve spent most of it sleeping due to sadness and sickness. I have what I hope is just a very bad sinus infection, though at this point I cannot even talk (great thing, since I’m a teacher, amirite?). I went to my appointment for my wisdom teeth, but the facility my dentist referred me to isn’t in network with my health or dental insurance, so I would have to pay the full $2350 up front (not happening). My power steering is completely out, but I am having more luck on that front. There are a lot of cars in my price range that meet my requirements, so I’m hoping to have something new to me to drive by the end of November. It helps that I’ll have my Christmas bonus by then too 😛

Ender’s Shadow &Shadow of the Hegemon - Finish one bear for the Mother Bear Project
Stick to a keto diet (excluding Thanksgiving Day)- Budget attack & debt repayment plan
CLEAN ANDUNPACK MY ENTIRE ROOM
I’ve made some progress on my goals for once and have changed a few. With the way things have been, I haven’t been able to handle eating properly, so I’m not sticking to a keto diet. It’s pretty much the “eat if I can” diet…but I’ve lost 8 lbs so there’s that. I’ve cleaned my room completely, so the only thing I really have left to do is put away the rest of my clothes. I’ve been crocheting a scarf in a colorway called “Sunrise” for a friend of mine. I also have a hat to finish for Z, whom I miss dearly and think of often.
I need to begin working on the bear for the MBP, but I want to pick good colors and ideas. It may seem like I’m overthinking it, but I want to pick colors that aren’t whitewashed for the bears. But…if you’re going to make something for a charity, shouldn’t a lot of thought go into it? One of my best friends is moving back to Louisiana. I’m sorry his foray into living a few states away didn’t work out, but I know his family is happy to have him back, and it’s nice to be able to chat face-to-face.
In my current state, all I’m good for is coloring, sleeping, and reading. Though one of my cats licked my nose this morning to wake me up, so that was sweet. Weekend, pls come faster, and Friday the 13th, pls don’t be terrible.
i do not want to have you
to fill the empty parts of me
i want to be full on my own
i want to fill so complete
i could light a whole city
and then
i want to have you
cause the two of
us combined
