Went over to my grandmother's last weekend, on the 6th or 7th, to help put up christmas lights. Didn't go overboard and I was mostly tasked to keep Lily, her little dog, at bay. Turned put very nice and my grandmother was very happy about it. Didn't get to volunteer that weeked or this one though. Very frustrating, I really love going out and working in the woods. Makes me feel productive, like I'... » Continue Reading
Tis I,, not super much has happened but I figure I should keep this going regardless. I got a few upcoming things, a forest preserve volunteer day, I'm going to be hanging out with a friend in an hour n'a half, and only two weeks of school left. During the break I'm planning on having a friend sleep over at mine. It's been a long while since I've seen it in person, so I'm quite excitied. In addit... » Continue Reading
My sister is officially back for thanksgiving !! I missed her. From what she's said she's doing well at college and is enjoying her time there. It's only been three monsth but it sounds like she's well established there. I hadn't gone with my father to pick her up as I was at small wild turkey event. Met up with a friend there, the event was more of a 'at your own pace' but I'd say we had fun. It ... » Continue Reading
Went and saw Pericles! I had negleted to add in my last entry but tuesday was a fieldtrip day. Went down to Navy pier for it. Since we were going to be out the entire day, it was said that we shouldn't take our bags. I really hate not having a bag with me so I did end up taking one, just not my typical large bag. I brought my small soot sprite bag, grapes in an old rainbow sherbet container at th... » Continue Reading
Loooving life. Had a blast on Saturday, it was another restoration workday. For the place closest to me actually. Compared to Malcom, it was a much smaller group, a grand total of seven. Volunteering is so much fun, a great workout too! I really liked talking to one of the younger dudes. I was without a doubt the youngest, but when I say 'younger' I'm meaning 20's-30's. He must've been in his late... » Continue Reading
Lovely going ons. Feeling productive, I went ahead and planned out which workdays I want to attend on my calender. I'm gonna have to use placeholder names for the different preserves for obvious safety reasons. They'll be Tristen, Mass, Malcolm and Cotan, for now atleast I was a bit confused about not seeing Mass on the upcoming event list so I did end up texting the steward. She was very nice ab... » Continue Reading
Sunday was relatively uneventful, managed to get some laundry done just in time. I'm definitely still sore from saturday combined with weightlifting from today I'm a bit fucked up to say the least. Homework is starting to pile up, specifically in com sci and algebra II. Love my teacher as a person but holy fuck does his teaching style not work for me. I just need it all laid out, formulas/commands... » Continue Reading
Halloween party went well, some folks had some well executed costumes that I thought looked good. Two notable ones being that punk spiderman and I think 'nurse from silent hill[?], there was also a WWII soilder, which if I'm being honest caught me off gaurd, made me giggle a tad. Although there was a "post apocalyptic femboy", when I tell you the crowd went silent man. I don't mean to be a hater ... » Continue Reading
Jesus man, time has been passing me by !!! Like logically I knew a it was happening but it sure as hell didn't feel like it. Okay well a few tiny things, for starters d&d yesterday kinda sucked ass. I'm not sure what the others thought of it but I found it quite unpleasant. In an afterschool club titled 'Dungeons & Dragons' you'd expect that to be what we're doing; to be fair leading up to this it... » Continue Reading
Like a whole buncha my friends are turning eighteen and I feel weird bout it. Like wdym time passed and now yer a legal adult?? I don't necessarily feel gross about them being eighteen rather that I'm sixteen. I was aware of a slight age gap innitially and it hadn't been weird before and it won't be when I turn seventeen in a few months but damn. I worry they'll view me as ig a liability? And then... » Continue Reading
Actually having such a banger weekend. Appointment went well, shoes and orthotics fit wonderfully. My mother and I stopped by Walmart before heading over the her favorite forest preserve. We picked up some more pumpkin for the dogs + some tops. I grabbed this cute orange tank top, a navy long sleeved shirt, a yellow lightweight sweater, & the cherry on top,,, this adorable black cardigan with whit... » Continue Reading
Finally got new everyday shoes! I only have 1-2 pairs of shoes at time, and I've been wearing my admittedly pretty ratty looking ones for maybe a year or two now. I'll honestly wear shoes till they fall apart but it's nice to get a new pair every couple years. I can't wear the new ones just but when I go on on the 19th for a follow-up appointment at the pediatist I'll likely walk out in them. Also... » Continue Reading
