Jahon tried to call me again. I was asleep and the only thing he texted was:

wtf?

I sent him a reel and went about my morning making breakfast and trying to get back to my schedule book. I am so tired so I ended up falling back asleep. Then I preceded to sleep the whole day. I barely have energy to swat at the flies trying to hide in the house from the growing cold outside.

They say that humans don't hibernate but I swear we do, or at least SAD is a thing for me.

I didn't call him back since I was in that state and really, after everything, I am not sure I can tackle that situation right now.

I don't like the fact I can't write on Vocal through my phone. I would be able to get more done if that were an option. My schedule book is telling me I need to write a review of Hopper and to make a small ad campaign with the link but, it is not the best referral program if I am honest.

The most credits I can make with it is $450 dollars for 15 referrals. Which is barely a hotel and maybe one way in an Uber in Oregon.. The nice thing about this though, since the referral credits are not as much as Google Fi, I wouldn't really need to invest as much as as that one. Probably just like 20-60 bucks.

I am also having to play with the little dog. She gets the zoomies when she's happy and likes to get into everything. I have been so weak all day, I've just been eating trying to get energy but it's been difficult. Even the poor puppy ended up puking on the bed so I had to take off the blankets.

I have a feeling I am going to have to work on stuff tonight. I ended up not doing any of my Human Tasks today:

  • Renew Housing Voucher
  • Clean Room
  • Apply to Apartment
  • Apply to Grants

I looked at my email and apparently I am good until November 11th so, I don't think I need to renew it so soon. Everyone was on my ass for renewing it but it is not even the end of the month. I mean I guess I should write the email to my housing person anyway so I can cross it off the list.

Cleaning the room was a little easier. I moved my bed out of there so now I have more space and it is more hygienic. I was thinking of getting a Sofa bed thing instead of a normal box spring.

Apparently I don't have to worry about any of this since my mom told me I have 40 days to leave the house. I guess now I got to focus on selling shit now rather than buying anything.

It was, again, a waste of time but, I just decided to take the rest of the day as a recovery day. I sort of was still recovering from my trip but I felt like I could still work on stuff before being given that news.

My mom just stresses me the fuck out, I don't want to see that man again. I am glad Wesley or whoever is getting help. Bleh. Ah, I guess it might be better than jail. Guns are serious business. Perhaps that is what I have been getting warned about today. Maybe not.

The first thing I think I need to change is my work schedule book to accommodate the changes.
