Today we're watching Mickey again. I was going to spend most of my time exercising today but I think it is going to be spent listening to the dogs' every whim.

I was going to walk our dog this morning because I finally decided that walking her everyday is doable only if I take her early in the morning. Since Mickey is here she will either not want to go or Mickey will get jealous so I rather avoid it all together and just play with them both in the backyard.

Ok so, I already wrote this a few times, I don't know what is going on with Vocal. Perhaps talking about my Dad is taboo on Father's Day right now.

I'll give up on the topic for now but I am just trying to decide how to prepare for the day anyway. I wanted to exercise so I think rather than walking any of the dogs, I should go on the walk myself. I can scout the area to see if it is busy and if it is busy I'll know that it isn't the time to be taking them for a walk anyway.

A part of me wants to just get high and snuggle in the blankets and have fantastic dreams.

But I know what that 50 dollars is worth right now. All these little gig money is helping me out right now and I am still saving up what I can.

The dogs are just staring at me now with their beady little eyes like they want me to play with them but I feel like I need to process today somehow.

I told Keely that I should exercise, I told myself I should exercise. It isn't so difficult; I just need to put away my room, make sure the bed is put away, put away my clothes, vacuum the floor, and THEN I can do 20 minute no equip Pilates.

Actually... that wasn't so difficult. Now I have a beautiful clean carpet. Spritzed it with Febreze...

I am worried about some of the paperwork I need to work on but my mom assures me that it isn't an urgent matter. Still, I don't want to have it pile up and then have a breakdown later on.

It is already 10:41am and I am barely cleaning my room. I woke up at like 4 am and then went back to sleep. I can't talk to Keely today so I am on my own figuring out what to talk to my dad about. My mom and I keep smelling this mildewy smell in my room/hallway and we're not sure where it is coming from.

I am hoping it isn't mold somewhere secretly growing. I did just vacuum so maybe it brought out some of its spores or something. We did spill water on a part of the carpet so perhaps it didn't get dried properly.

ITS MY DEODORANT. MY DEODORANT SMELLS LIKE SHIT!

That Lume stuff isn't that good, to be honest. I like the idea of it but the actual product is not that great. Thank god I am not going anywhere.

Mars will be in Virgo this Tuesday. I wonder what that means? I will be meeting with Keely so I will get my evaluation of the tests done. My impression is like " Let's think logically " is probably going to be the theme but I will look it up later on Google:

When Mars is in Virgo, it emphasizes practicality, efficiency, and analytical thinking in how we approach our goals and desires. This transit encourages a methodical and detail-oriented approach, focusing on optimizing routines and habits. It's a time to refine our actions, improve our work, and focus on practical solutions.
