I am stuffed and it is 6:30pm. My body is subtly tired from all the scratching I did today. I guess I need to prepare for Keely tomorrow. I also have a zoom appointment tomorrow too.

My stomach is a little messed up from he lemonade I drank but I just need to settle down. I wonder if I should call my mom to come help clean? I guess I should roll dice for that because that's as much as I care about that.

I feel like I exchanged itchiness with stomach issues. Sebastian seems to be sick today too. Good thing I called my mom, she said she was still cleaning her house to prepare for my brother coming over tomorrow, I told her I need my place cleaned for Keely, so she said she'd come over at 8am.

I feel like I need to lay down to let the gas pass from my body but I have been sleeping so much I feel guilty about laying back down.

I played a game of Mobile Legends Bang Bang and lost. I got up after listening to music after that.

The sort of world I am going into with Japanese is that of the music video to TVXQ's Break Out.

I keep staring at the trees and think about the filipino girl. Do the trees talk to us more than the stars?

It repeats.

Will the lightening come to me? Let's see. If I can get over to the School computer, perhaps I can say so.

I made a quesadilla since I was afraid of the cheese going bad like the last block did.

I just realized that I need more water but the dishes need to be done before I can access the water. I just drank lemonade but now I have to go pee.

I went to bed early and woke up at 6:30am. I guess that is a fair trade off, I can clean this morning before my mom comes.

popped in a gummy with some coffee. I love coffee in the fall. I need to clean the dishes if I want to access the water to make more coffee.

I am kind of glad I am not into food as much lately. I know it is because of stress but, if I can get away with that, I will.

I remembered my dream a bit but quickly forgot it now that I am concerned with cleaning the kitchen. What a dull trade off. Oh well, I guess even if I don't remember, dreaming at all is a good sign I got good sleep.

I guess I should eat that sweet potato my mom gave me before it goes bad. I am not really hungry, I am pretty content with my hot coffee but, I shouldn't let things go bad so much any more.

It's a little bit cold, I think I am going to wear my robe. That is making me immensely happy. I love to bundle up in the cold months. I enjoy the cold way more than the heat.

I was feeling bad about still using the air conditioner in September. I justified it by saying I'll save a lot during the cold months.

I want to go back to bed. I don't know why I am just wanting to lay in bed all the time, I just feel like a rat or squirrel, nesting up for winter.

I think I really have a chance to catch up on my todo list with my mom's help. If I can do that before school, I can probably maintain it after that.
