'twas a good day
Yesterday that is (today will be good, too). I went to the hospital and visited dad and he was doing very well and was very alert and he had company that visited for about an hour (lots of it) and me and mom hung out basically all day. In that time, the apt complex installed a new furnace + AC and they work beautifully. New thermostat to accompany the AC and it is digital which is a big step-up from the analog one I had before.
I also put $$$ on my laundry card and am starting laundry at about 5 AM here. 66 F outside and i am about to open the sliding glass door to let some of that beautiful cool air in. I cannot wait until it gets to this temp during the day here.
that's about all. be back in a bit!
Pulling and All-Nighter
because i damn well know i will not be tired enough to sleep tonight after sleeping all evening. I also know that i am excited about spending a day oot and aboot tomorrow as it is the first time i have gone anywhere/done anything in a week (almost). Gonna be nice.
I also have a lot of things i should be working on but am not working on any of them, really. I just wanna live in the moment, in the Here and Now. There is nothing wrong with that.
Anyway, i am getting a little bored with the vegan food around the house so i am going to get a nice, big, fat pizza (Dogtown) tomorrow and bring it home and have a Monster to go w/ it. I deserve it.
Tomorrow is gonna be a good day
Going to visit the dad at the hospital for a little bit (meaning all day, probably) while the apartment complex puts in a new furnace and AC. And today was a good day, too. I just ended up resting through most of it because I had nothing better to do. In fact, all evening I slept, so i will probably be awake all night :/
I have more of this #book to read in a little bit (about 100 pages to go), and then I will leave a review of it on Amazon + Goodreads. I wouldn't mind writing a book one day, but that may be a little far off.
I need/want some weed
I could also go for a grilled cheese right about now
As of this moment, I am processing the fact that I just woke up and already have the boldest cup o'coffee in front of me that I have had in a month+ and going from groggy to wired in about 15 mins (i drink coffee slow).
Anyway, be back in a bit!
re-done landing page...
oleary.io looks good! I am really glad i paid for a Premium carrd.co acct, truly.
I also added a small planner to my Amazon cart (as i need to get better organized) and added V5 pens to the “epic shopping list” i made to i don't have to keep using this freebie pen I got from...wherever.

Refining a job search
I met with Kevin today (spontaneously, we made a quick appt on the fly), and the topic of disease was job search. I let him know that I would like nothing more than to be employed as a remote worker / writer / reporter / what have you, and that we should be working towards this goal. We decided that I am going to meet with an employment specialist next month, and in the meantime – continue to get my EdX certification (starting October 3), continue everything I have to do to get my (small) student loan discharged, apply for any and all FAFSA stuff for STLCC, and create/manage an acct on Indeed.com and start looking for writing gigs, jobs.
We collaborated on this, and it is the best thing to do (in fact, I could have been doing it sooner, but i was too focused on the higher ed element of it).
More on all of this later

Good morning. It's coffee time.
And clean up the kitchen time (which I just did). Coffee is brewing.
I decided to keep the expenses as low as possible this pay time and only order a large, 550 mL cooking pot (for backpacking and home) and one damascus steel knife (again, backpacking and home), and that will be it as far as purchases go. I am also stocking up on things for the apartment but all of those things are 100% necessary + can be bought locally. The list has already been made.
As for today, it is perfect Fall weather and i am enjoying it immensely.

Winter shopping
i mentioned this, i am buying Winter clothes now when they are still relatively cheap because i will have my $$$ tied up for the next few months w/ the Holidays. I can't believe Halloween is almost here. Gonna be cool!
And the Fall weather is here as well. it is currently 61 F outside and i have the sliding glass door open and letting in the cool air as i brew coffee. Fucking epic.
i generally do not like shopping, but the couple things i am getting are affordable (+ two of them i am getting for free), so, no big deal.
anyway, be back in a bit!
hey there
it is 12:30 AM, i just woke up, and i felt like I have slept for 10+ hours. So going back to sleep is not a possibility at this point. What i will try to do is get some #writing done.
maybe
i am about to brew coffee
i got nothing else to say. lol.
be back in a few
7:39 PM. Coffee time
as i mentioned on Twitter earlier today, i have a lot of bullshit i have to buy for around the apartment soon as all of my $$$ is gonna be tied up with the holidays starting in October and all of this stuff i need & basically none of them are “wants”. I need batteries, cleaning supplies, bulk food (that won't spoil), winter clothes, etc etc etc.
The thing i am most excited about is the Winter clothes. Blue jeans have been ordered and I already possess the M65 military jacket, so, I will just need to get a pair of boots & a longjohn top + some sort of sweater, and i will be good to go. Working on these things now.
Hi, folks
I had a pretty interesting day of nothing today. I did go up to the hospital earlier in the day and that was cool. Especially since my dad's arm is healing up nicely. I also cleaned the apartment a little bit and now it looks better, too.
While oot & aboot, i ordered a pair of blue jeans + white t-shirt from JC Penny and will order a sleeping bag from them as well. The latter is the only remaining thing I need for the backpacking trip that i have scheduled for the end of September.
It is 72 F here and absolutely lovely. Gonna get cooler tonight, too.
Anyway, be back in a bit!
