Tomorrow I think I'm going to hunker down and try to get some serious writing done. I want to start dishing out some of Part #2 of the "book" on Lulu. I started outlining a little bit tonight, then I'm going to see what I can get written tomorrow. 

 

What else have I done? I created a new habit tracker for the next 10 days and filled in my planner. I really need to get in the habit of jotting things down more often/quicker. There is a lot that I end up forgetting because I didn't write it down right away. I recently remembered some e-mails I need to write, but because I didn't write them down, I forgot to follow-up. 

 

As for this upcoming week, I have an appointment on Tuesday with the outreach/housing specialist with hopes that I'll learn more about the processes here, and I have to get some ultrasounds done on my pelvis and kidneys for PCOS. I also have to make time to sort and do laundry. I want to schedule as much out as possible, and even try to plan meals and the like. Obviously it won't be perfect, but the structure will keep me mindful during mealtime. I don't even know what I'm going to eat tomorrow. I'm really trying to stay away from high sodium, and I'm already getting tired of the food in the area. Man, I wish I could just cook at home. The things we take for granted...

 

All I know is tomorrow is going to be a "light" day. I've been spending a lot of time out of the house since last Wednesday running errands and spending money. I basically have my end-of-Spring, Summer and Fall wardrobe coming into fruition (is that the right word/phrase for what I'm trying to say?)

 

Recently I purchased a pair of Rocawear *skate* shoes (which, mind you, I never invest in brand-name anything 

- but they were like $15-20 bucks so I thought what the heck), a pair of black flats (ended up loving them so much, went back for the beige/ $4-5 a pop), black knit pants $12ish, black leggings $10, and blue jeans $20ish. I also picked up a few tops $5-10 and a cardigan $5. Underwear $5-6. Socks $5. Foundation and chapstick $9-10ish. I also managed to snag a pair of silver stud earrings for $2. I really should be wearing earrings. My right ear hole is tight and always tries to heal/close shut. LOL. Although some really cheap stuff, the quality ain't terrible. 

 

I also thought that, if I buy foundation (and start wearing make-up again for work), I will only need to invest in makeup remover and I'm just not ready for all that. What a pain. I don't really want to clog my pores, either. I can do some tinted lip balm, but that's about as far as I'd go on. 

 

I'm so used to dressing a certain type of way (super Mom-ish LMFAO - leggings, tunics, sandals, etc. - like VERY comfortable) that putting on a pair of TIGHT jeans is weird ASF. Like, it HURT MY BACK LOL. I felt so restricted, I kind of regret the purchase because I know I won't feel comfortable in it. Although it looks good on me...I just don't care enough about how my ass and thighs look. LMFAO. It's just like bras. I don't care enough about how my boobs look to wear a bra. LOL. Sometimes I can't believe the kind of pain and discomfort women put themselves through. (Including myself, for years.)

 

I literally came here with 1 pair of pants that had holes already forming in them...Thomas came here with shirts already with holes in them. We just haven't had the $$$ to buy ANYTHING in such a long time. I think the last time I bought new clothes was over a year ago. The only stuff still intact is heavy/super-warm winter clothes. Crazy thing is, it's still very cool. We've had a few warmer days, but it's been very mild, and it's already June. I don't want to Jinx it. It would be fantastic to have a mild summer.
