I didn't go to the appointment my mom and Jan arranged. I didn't feel it reflected who I was as a person and those documents don't represent who I am.

I am going to go stay the night up in Portland and then figure out where to go from there. I am pretty psyched about the future and I can't wait to figure things out. It feels a bit like when I was too nervous to take a test so we stayed the night by the University. My laptop is kind of dying but I need to contact... Someone I guess. I don't really want to talk to anyone right now, I feel like tomorrow will be a better day to get things done. I need to first get up to Portland then I can figure stuff out.

Mm, I don't feel safe leaving here without 80% battery. I do feel like I need to cancel my Planet Fitness subscription as that is costing me too much a month and if I am going to be traveling, it is not as useful.

Yes, this is an old thing I wrote, it is also funny how this kanji has repeated from then to now. Oh never mind, it isn't the same Kanji.

Oh well, it has "lid" in common but that is about all that is the same.

I just woke up and realized I left my contacts in.

I am listening to the Polish woman on Twitch now. She has a calm presence and she like to sculpt. It is nice. I haven't talked to her in so long.

Unfortunately, I don't think today is a day I can chill. I would love to hang out with someone who doesn't annoy me for once, but I live in this town and that is impossible.

Same thing with my Paper Projects. My current one is telling me to work on Patreon. That sort of requires me to sit and work on these things though.

I found out, I only need a Real ID if I want to travel domestically. If I plan on traveling abroad, I don't need a Real ID.. so the paper was lying to me.

I am glad I don't have to worry about it.

This expungement thing is sort of the bane of my existence right now.

Also it is annoying that the process will also take a while even once the paperwork is finished.

I guess I need to just focus on completing my TODOs and Paper Projects. I mean, that is the only order in my life.

Stick to what works, right?

For the Patreon, I have to go to Staples and recycle some stuff for credit. I actually do like that system. I like when we are able to recycle things or there is a kind of loyalty point system in something.

Since Wendy's is over up that way, I probably will also get something over there as well. As I still have points from that as well.

It actually isn't that good in terms of food, but I do like their principles and, well fast food shouldn't be too good otherwise you'll eat it too much. It is supposed to be on the go/supplement nutrition.

" We can't eat it too frequently, Sora kun... otherwise you'll turn into a clinically obese child. "

Anyway... he's adorable. I am feeling better. Yea, I guess I should just focus on what makes me a bit brighter today. Especially since the rain came back.

Anyway, I am just trying to get by today. Oh yea, I should look up the astrological weather right now:

Venus Square Pluto

Hmm, that is very funny to consider with the people contacting me currently.
