Going to see the Dad later
late morning or early afternoon. still not sure which, yet.
we think that he is going to be released from the hospital today and that the high potassium levels were the reason for him feeling so ill, but that is more or less sort of a “guess” right now. No bloodwork has come back that I know of.
Anyway, I am trying my damnedest to sell this Tab A before I head up to see the Dad and I got my laundry done already, so, today has ben a fairly productive day so far (and it's only 7:26 AM!)
Today will def be an interesting day.

The Wind Has Picked Up
The air outside is very warm (~81 F) but the wind is very strong, so it feels a little bit cooler. Thunderstorms are in the forecast and the way it feels outside right now, I believe it. I did have plans to walk to SLCL this AM but I would rather not get poured on so, I will simply stay home.
I am also making a “master list” on Twitter of people I have always followed/always will follow because I am fairly bored right now. At least the #stlwx is nice :)
Some late night thoughts
it's 1:58 AM so I guess I should have titled this blog post “Some early morning thoughts”, but, here we are. This early morning I am thinking about how I am wide awake and just finished a cup of churched up Joe (mocha/latte-thing) and am wired and am going to do my laundry at ~4 AM because that is when the air will be coolest and this way I will not necessarily have to deal with my neighbors + the heat + the sun rays when I clean my clothes. The sun rays are insane. I am thinking there may be a hole in the ozone layer because the run (even when not looking straight at it) burns the Fuck out of my eyes and it is very painful.
Anyway, when laundry is done, I can cross the 1st check off my To-Do list for the day. This is good.
11:29 PM
Probably an all-nighter for me
Not freaking out from lack of nicotine. Not at all (I am actually being serious)
I have been in a good mood all day
I got my checklist for tomorrow and a full night of....Internetting tonight. Haha
idk, I just felt like a blog post...

I am making a bullet journal. That is to say, I have made one already and I am going to maintain it.
In this bullet journal will be all the tasks that I want to do for the day but the kicker is that I am going to be writing them down the day before, so I wake up w/ stuff to do right away and I can always stay somewhat productive. Just a thing to do.
I also have a typed bullet journal in the Bear notes app, but idk how long that will last. In fact, I am going to delete it because it is way too much like Evernote and I fucking hate Evernote. I really don't like any note taking apps. I prefer physical stuff, instead.
So I am going to delete that app
I had coffee, am wired. Happy. Chillin'.

The coffee was. So, personal update: I need a haircut. I also need to buy smokes tomorrow. I also have to sell my Tab A on CL before that (to afford said smokes and haircut). I also have to do laundry tomorrow. I am hesitant, in fact downright refusing to do any #EdX coursework until I have nicotine because I sometimes get frustrated (naturally) and I will need nicotine to take the edge off....everything.
Also tomorrow dad gets out of the hospital, I may be approved for my loan discharge, the world spins, life continues.
#Awesome
Updated all my Apple I.D. info (FINALLY)
It was a few minutes of my phone constantly going off from PM e-mails + 2FA confirmations, but I got everything updated. All that shit was from like late-2013 but now it is legit :)
I also made some freeshhhh to death coffee and am feeling p good considering I haven't had tobacco in a good deal of time. In fact, I feel very good. And I am giving myself a break from the #EdX lecture tonight because if I hit a snag/get frustrated, I will freak the fuck out when I have no nicotine to console me. LOL!
Now that I have the Apple I.D. shit figured out, I am thinking of other #privacy, #safety, #security measures I can take to protect myself online. I decided that I am only going to d/l #apps from the Mac App Store and not from the “Open Internet” and also, I am being Verrrry careful about WHICH apps I d/l from the App Store, because a lot are bogus as fuck.
So, anyway. Good times

Submitting Literature, Selling My Tablet, and Dying For Nicotine
Someone on Twitter Tweeted a link to a #blog post that was titled “17 Approachable Lit Mags” or something to that effect, so I took the bait and clicked and sure enough, there was a list of literary magazine there and a short description of each one and what they were accepting + their average acceptance rate.
I decided to submit to Page & Spine because they pay AND because when you are published by a paying lit mag or online mag or what have you, it has more...gravitas, or legitimacy when it comes to listing this work on your portfolio. Their waiting list is quite long but I went ahead and took a shot in the dark, anyway, and submitted “Metro” and if I am lucky, they will publish it. I will have the same e-mail when they decide to get back to me, one way or the other (because I plan on keeping this e-mail for, like, ever!).
I also tried to sell my Tab A to the Phone Surgeon down the street a little bit ago and it looked like it was going to sell, but then, the guy said he was more looking for a 10 inch Android tablet instead of an 8 inch. I then renewed the listing on CL and I am hoping someone wants to buy it. Like, TONIGHT! I am 100% broke, w/o nicotine, and it s.u.c.k.s. But enough about my problems.
I actually do feel quite good despite my economic disposition at the moment. Gonna study more later.

Nothing Interesting
At least not from the letter I received in the mail just now. It is from the loan discharge place (which the name of I will keep private) and it basically said it got all of my info/will update me when there is a change in the loan status. I can check this shit on their website so there is no need for them to send me snail mail correspondence again (but I'm p sure they will).
Anyway, I am going to wait for the sun to go down before digging into the #EdX lecture (or maybe dig into it a bit before? idk). I am going to finish it today, for sure. Then move onto the next section of Week 0.
#goodtimes
Awaiting a letter....
USPS Informed Delivery INFORMS me that I have something coming in from the loan discharge place but it hasn't arrived yet. Nothing has changed on their website, so I have no clue what they are asking from me (if anything, it could be a decision). I will wait for the mail patiently as the Mac charges and just chill and after I get this letter (today) I will take action on whatever needs to be taken action on and then when the sun sets I will begin the #EdX work. I am about 1/3 of the way through the Week 0 lecture (which is saved in the CS50x folder conveniently) and I am going to finish the lecture tonight. That is the evening's goal. I am taking diligent notes as I listen. Already learning stuffs! Haha.
