Man, it sucks that they were being picky about the laminate. Over here, if you don't like the policies at one DMV, you can try another because they don't all stick to the rules the way they should. 😅   I'm glad you like your new haircut. I've been contemplating the same for myself. 😃

MONDAY FUN DAY! Just as a quick run down the day after. I did a good job yesterday - I met with some friends, found out what it'll cost to bring my mom to water aerobics with me, and I actually caught up on my reading. There wasn't much going on, but I also put in my grocery order at midnight. I have been handling my domestic nonsense - go me!   GOAL # 1: HYDRATE OR DIE-DRATE WEEK 2: 64 ounces of water a day. 16 of those ounces have to be raw water. I gotta give my poor kidneys a dang break and quit drinking what is the equivalent of sugar-free KoolAid.  Oof, I did not succeed yesterday, like, at all. I didn't even get to 64oz. I put ice in my big water bottle, thinking it would melt and I'd have nice, cold, 50oz of water and then I'd just need to drink 16. Well, guess what - the ice didn't melt. So I had no idea how much water I drank so I am calling it a wash. I know it wasn't 64oz, that's for dang sure.    GOAL # 2: ALONE TIME AT THE GYM WEEK 2:  Go to the YMCA 2x this week to exercise without a class. Thirty minutes minimum, but brownie points if I do more.  I did not go to exercise by myself yesterday because I went to my water aerobics class! I got to see my friends, upgraded on the weights I used (which was a struggle but I did it!) and? JAN INVITED ME TO SCRABBLE ON TUESDAY! I'm so excited, I can't wait to meet her friends.    GOAL # 3: HOOKAH IS FOR FUNSIES, NOT ANXIETY WEEK 2: Rethink the routine: Really try and figure out why the Hell I'm smoking at the times I'm smoking. Am I tired? Am I bored? Am I hungry? Write down those feelings and look at them later. There might be a pattern. Another day, another moment of not tracking how much I smoked. I definitely noticed that I reach for the hookah when I'm either bored or I want a flavor. Sometimes, when I feel the urge to binge eat, I reach for the hookah instead. My monthly goal for October was to cut down to 1x per week - which will be sad because I enjoy the people at the smoke shop. Maybe I can still go by and buy some stuff so I have a nicely stocked little personal hookah bar at home.    FOR FUNSIES UPDATE! Today is the first day of Inktober! Yaaaaaay! This year's theme seems very travel and wanderlust-flavored. Stay tuned, I might post some cool art on here, too!   TOTAL WINS: 2/3  

Last night I got Kneehab done, lifted weights, and stayed on target for calories, so it was a pretty good day.   I've developed an unfortunate eating habit, wherein I'm getting 1/3 of my daily calories from ice cream and mixed nuts.  I should probably stop doing that.  Or at least cut it way back.  

not sure if ive sent this one. But nice tune for you

Ok, in no particular order.   wow that is a gorgeous banjo in that vid. Just stunning. Also cracking music.   danish pumpkin pastry thing looks amazing. Very up for supporting that flavour of the season   as always, the fluffy ball of cuteness is adorable. This goes without saying.    brain things suck. Especially on bad days. Definitely get the having to dissacosiate from guilt over not getting stuff done.    drum circle sounds awesome. Love that there is an ocean drum. They are so incredibly cool. Never seen one in person sadly. 

Very true. We are counting down the days. I hope we like sleeping on our backs in our adjusted fetal positions. 😅 The image is funny.    I really hope so! 

I guess my "grudge" comes from how marked up mattresses are, at this store you can't return it only exchange and how every store seems to get a different name and model so it's hard to look them up to compare. Like he said if we could find a better price they price match but that mattress doesn't exist anywhere but that store. I read somewhere awhile back mattresses are something you should never buy at full price because of the markup. And I hate haggling and trying to get the best deal and I especially dislike the "well if you don't decide now you could miss out".    One of the ways I'm coping is by reminding myself this is a 10 year purchase but I'm worried the mattress won't last 8-10 years. 

Its more an “i know my crud memory will force me to reread the whole series before i can read the new book” thing 😅 but thanks

I was up at 4:30am when I heard the rain falling harder outside. I got dressed and went to check our leak and it is very wet, so it is the roof and that can be fixed and its still under warranty. Whew.  I am much less worried    worry worry worry   See? Much less worry 🤣😉
