Hey, Miss J!

I’m so glad that I had the wherewithal to write a note so I knew I did my reading already. Right now, my brain feels like warm mush almost…

It’s a very disconcerting sensation.

I was sick earlier and the most annoying part is that it was within a half hour after dinner. Thankfully I didn’t throw up, but the nausea and the unexpected camping trip in the bathroom…

Well…

Pfft.

I’m perched in my chair and eyeballing C&R… the short and the first three chapters. And realizing—to my horror—that there are several sections that clearly lack proper edits.

Eww. Areas aren’t bolded. It’s a bonafide mess, but to my sleep-deprived brain… it looked fine.

It was not.

So now I’ve unfortunately had to print all four chapters again to re-revise my revisions. For NtC… there are gonna be errors. The chapters are over 20 pages long. Between 21 chapters, there are 780 pages according to MSWord. That I don’t mind as much… not when compared to what I call “mini” stories that are under 30 pages.

It’s funny too… because back in 2013, I thought a four page story was something special… but I always felt embarrassed at how short the chapters looked on fanfiction.net.

Now… Eh.

I hate being sick.

I’ve also deleted my game apps—except for “Happy Color.” The other games were filled with so many ads… and quite a few of those ads were disgusting. So…

Oh well.

Even Solitaire had to go. I still have “Unblock Me,” as well, matter of fact.

So. Sick. Of. The. Ads.

Then I found out that since a recent update, Samsung is installing applications on my phone if I’ve viewed the ads for them. I don’t want that. Not at all, so I deleted all the games that had the ads.

And I just found out that “Unblock Me” also has ads. So now all I have is “Happy Color.”

Gonna do Duolingo, part of my assignment and settle down for a bit of late editing.

Got other stuff to take care of too, including medical coverage. That’s be an AM thing. I’m terrified because I don’t have medication or copays in my budget.

… and I have a lot of doctors I go to. And one of my meds is over $500 per month… All in all, it’s over $1,000 worth of medication I need each month.

If it gets to be too much… I’ll have to rehome both of my cats. They’re an extra $100+ expense that I have budgeted for every month.

That extra $100 can go to other things, like more personal care/household items and medication.

… Sucks being an adult, dunnit?

Sucks being low income and disabled too… but I’m trying to remain optimistic. If I’m allowed to keep my insurance, I’ll mostly be fine.

Bright side?

My life could be a whole lot worse and a whole lot more miserable.

The cats, even though they get on my nerves sometimes, are company—little creatures that light up my day.

… This is so sad. I’m trying not to burst into tears over it. I have nowhere for my oldest cat to go. She’s turning 21 years old soon… The youngest one is just about 6 months old and will be spayed soon. Just a sweet little ball of annoying energy.

Especially when she tries to jump into my underwear with me.
