looking at designers...
....bc i am bored & because they make the best landing pages. also bc i am fascinated w/ what ppl in the startup world or/and freelancers, have to say. i sub to many newsletters. i don't check them v often bc i am DeGoogling myself and sticking to non-Google products and most of those newsletters go to my Gmail, so, i only read a few going to my ProtonMail.
i also need to “de-personalize” / log out of Chromium on the Pi bc i am more or less done w/ using that computer for a Web device & it will be offline journaling only. Dougie Houser-style! LOL!
i am hoping once i get the iPhone 6 Plus (64GB, silver, for who's counting) w/ my tax $$$ (or the month after, depends) that i can be OFF Google services once and for all. Yes, Google & YouTube are still great but there is zero reason for me to be signed in to use those services. They work exactly the same w/o a log-in.
anyway, be back in a bit!
i don't think it's influenza
i think i may just have a cold from the changes in the weather even tho i know ppl don't really get actual colds from the weather, but it FEELS like a cold, that is for sure.
but maybe influenza
anyway, it is a super nice night tonight (inside, horrid outside) and i am going to be up late feeling sick and not touching the coffee i bought earlier bc that will just make me both wired AND sick and that does not sound like a lot of fun.
luckily (or unluckily, really) i have no real plans for the beginning of this week so i am just going to stay inside & not eat food & be shitty and miserable but i will be nice on the internet so, it's chill.
do i sound like a fucking millennial (sp?) or what? haha. i guess it is bc of said sickness that i rant too much.
ugh, this sucks
be back in a bit!
my rants
i ranted a good deal abt college tonight
i also ranted abt being broke/without food
i also ranted abt Trump
i am done ranting (for right now)
be back in a bit!
rearranging
idk if that is a proper word or if it needs a hyphen, but anyway....
....i did some re-arranging of the apt just now & turned the RPi into a stand-up-desk-type-thing & am using the BT keyboard w/ the Moto X for rn & will continue to do so when i get the iPhone 6 Plus (i decided) so things look a LOT cleaner & a LOT more minimalist in this apt now (no more wires!).
i am going to look at a bunch of different bullshit around here that i clearly do not need anymore & start to “declutter” a little bit (even tho i hate that term). I have Dog knows how much paperwork can go in the trash in the closet including instructions manuals and a whole bunch of other bullshit as well as...well...countless things.
So the apt is looking really good as i have it rn. v proud of it :)
anyway, be back in a bit!
lo lo lo shitty food vs no food
i will not eat shitty food. ever. i am too good of a cook to eat sub-par food in this short, short life. But, i have no ingredients to cook with, so i cannot make GOOD food here at my house. i am literally w/o any type of proper nourishment & it will be a while before i get paid again, so i am going to cash in abt $60 worth of silver in the v near future & go grocery shopping. i have to. the GOOD thing is; i will have any and all ingredients i need to make awesome food from there-on-out, but, until then i am stuck w/ rice & veggies (which is not “all that bad”, but i am v tired of it).
anyway, be back in a bit!

appts appts appts
i finalized all appts that i had to make for this month including a time to do my taxes, psychiatry, and a few other things and all is good to go :)
i am making cheddar biscuits rn w/ poppy seeds & garlic & the last batch turned out delicious so i am expecting these to turn out good, as well.
Now to just go to the 'rents on Saturday, do laundry, & get in a GOOD (2 mi) walk in before that. i may take tomorrow off ads i don't want to burn out my shins. i have done that before and it SUCKS!
today has been a day of rehydrating and overall eating v healthy & trying to stay on track as far as health matters are concerned.
i still got another appt to make for the upcoming months but i have not made that appt yet. or, i should say make a phone call (not make an appt). I will let y'all know more abt that later. (hint: it is a v GOOD thing! :))

Putting Myself Out There
i went ahead & let recruiters know that I am “open” on LinkedIn and that i am looking for freelance, remote, or contract work & that i am in the Greater St Louis-area & i uploaded my resume & etc, so i will see what i hear (+i will keep looking, of course). Also, i sent out a signal on Twitter w/ the news that I NEED A JOB! LMAO! Seriously, tho, i do!
things are gonna work out tho. gotta keep pounding the digitial pavement. how it goes. :)
be back in a bit!
what a great day (yesterday was)
i got foodskee/smokes/soda/etc & am slowly sipping a Pibb Xtra rn at 2AM & Tweeting & thinking abt life. i truly enjoy this 60+ degree weather! Fucking beautiful! i feel like i am camping.
speaking of which, i watched some Joe Brewer videos on YT (he is a Triple Crowner) & got inspisred to order some more backpacking gear that i need. Literally the only thing i need is a pair of Under Armour tops & bottoms. I found a good pair that is in the “ColdGear” category (bc these will be used to keep me warm, primarily) & they are a little pricey but i am going to order them soon. They are red & look dope af, too.
i am wanting to get bac on the trail agains o bad, it is crazy. i think when i go out to the 'rents this Saturday, i am going to aim for a hike of Mastadon State Park & do the loop 2X's & get a good workout in :) But i still need to get in a backpacking trip ASAP when the weather breaks for a longer period of time. There is talk of making a trip to Arkansas w/ the brother-in-law & a friend, but we have no idea exactly when yet. It's gonna happen, tho.
