Burnout

I'm suffering from burnout. Likely because I feel like I need to go everywhere. Also pressure to go to church all the time. I'm finally getting some down time to relax

Scoliosis

I've mentioned that I have this. It drives me nuts and others too when I'm in a lot of pain. I'm still one of the lucky ones that I have a milder form of it. I know I should be happy about it but I don't like it. Most can't tell I have it, like many people can't tell I'm autistic

Go on vacation

Since I'm leaving on Saturday for a family vacation I will possibly just get a bunch of fast food and gas station foods. Not that should be a regular part of my diet but since I am going out of state in a few days I don't feel like going to the store for food

Go back

I went to the kentlands ward (or my old Mormon congregation). I loved it. They were so happy to have me back. They treated me like queen Jackie. I waved at everyone.

Sushi

I'm usually addicted to sushi. While I live in the Asian life it's nice

I'm trying to heal from the craziness of life

Supportive

A bunch of people from the church I go to were supporting me in the race i did. I'm happy about that since I was so sick the previous year so i figured it was a good way to repay their kindness. My friends wanted to see that

Mad dash

while my friend was watching me do the 5k in September I made a mad dash for the corner. They're supportive of me

Dracula costume

I dressed up as Dracula for the trunk or treat I'd gone to. I'd worn a different dress for the temple trip but I love it when I have 2 different outfits. I actually wore a skirt and top for the outfit. People thought it was a dress. I love it since they liked seeing me

Dance party

I had a little private dance party at the trunk or treat I'd gone to. the kids from the family I love were like what is this lady doing in the heels

My friend is usually joked about being my boyfriend. He's been such a great friend to me. He's helped me out and we've been having so much fun together and we're super good together. We've been trying stuff he and I like and have tried them. My mom's telling my family that he makes me so happy, which I love it and I laugh at it

The mall

So I went to the mall with my friend. He followed me into the girls store. I'd said that he could wait outside while I go into the girls store but he went with me. He helped me pick out gifts for my family which is nice. His eyes are weird in the girls store. I'm like let's go out of here and see other stuff. He's such a good man for reminding me

When I was a little kid I was thought to have a serious health issue but when I was sick in the ICU last summer I was actually put on allergy medicine and it started clearing up the mucus in my head which was found in my head. I'm severely allergic to pollen to the point of my illness a couple of years ago and now I'm on my lung health meds its like my family got me back

No one would miss me

I was watching the Degrassi 2 parter "Bittersweet symphony" and I was thinking about who might miss me if I was to commit suicide or die. The character talking this person down said "his family, friends, hockey team and his crush." This person has a kid and that's why he stuck around. My aunt Jacquie thinks about people who have mental health issues since she knows a few people like that. If it was me it would be my family, friends from different parishes and my new friends

Budget meals

I've got quite a lot of budget meals for the next few days. I went to Walmart yesterday and i got everything for the next couple of weeks

Braces

So i'm the 3rd generation aunt-niece with the name Jackie. My aunt and great aunt misspell their names which is ironic as their mom's are teachers. my mom spelled it correctly.

Mental energy vs physical energy

I've been trying to get better since I was ill last summer. While I'm physically better for the most part my mental energy is to a degree worse. I can still do stuff and get through most of my life but I'm tired mentally and I don't know why

My mom

my mom is crazy about the volunteer position I have. Also whenever I do something she likes She'll talk about it on the family zoom call

crazy dance class

Ravenclaw

I love my ravenclaw stuff. I've been happy with this stuff

The mall

I've been going to the mall in Bethesda. I went today and ran into my friend

Nap

I took a nap today. I was so tired and I must've been super exhausted since I took a nap on the floor. I also didn't realize that I needed it more than people realized or that i planned. I woke up with a headache. Must've been a dehydration headache or something like that

Shopping

I'm going to do a giant grocery haul tomorrow. Im running out of a lot of stuff so i figured why not? I live for the grocery haul videos I make. They're awesome

Nail polish

I painted my nails today on YouTube and talked about my life since the pneumonia

Budget

Here's a good thing: the last time I went grocery shopping i got enough for a couple of weeks. Now I'm going to be getting more food like that so i can stick to a budget and save some money for the future. I like doing that kinda thing for my family in the future and I think I can do it as best as possible. I am shocked about the amount of food I had and that I was just stocked up for the couple of weeks that I had to do that. Its amazing. I think I'll try and replicate it as often as I can

Anna Duggar

I feel bad for Anna Duggar. She's stuck in a seemingly loveless and somewhat abusive marriage. Josh is a horrible person to be married to and i feel bad for the kids and his wife. Granted Michelle and Jim Bob have a horrible marriage too. Josh is going for the marriage his parents unfortunately modeled for them. Anna should have gotten a divorce from Josh. Unfortunately she won't leave him. Josh is a bad guy and he needs to be divorced for the sake of the kids

Hilarious

So once when i first started college I was taken to a party at my mom's old house and I was reading twilight in the hot tub. hours later my family looked out and was like "Jackie's still in the hot tub reading?" It was pretty funny as no one noticed that I was still in there with my stuff reading

Fall weather

The weather we've been having isn't really fall weather. It feels like its almost 100 degrees and people are dropping like flies

5k

Yesterday I participated in a 5k. When I was jogging its nice. sometimes I liked it but it felt sore. I walked it for the most part. omce in a while I jogged but I love doing this to celebrate my 1 year anniversary of getting out of the hospital and to support lung health

Exfoliating

I've been using a coffee scrub for my skin and hair. It's amazing to see how pale my skin is usually. My skin is so sunburned I used the scrub to wipe off the dead skin and the sunburn went away to a degree

Coffee scrub and hair growth

I've been using coffee to help growing up and out. My long hair is not cut since last December and I wanted to grow it out as long as I can. Because I grew my hair out since then it'll be nice to see how long it gets

True crime addict

I'm a big true crime addict. I love it. Strangely I was scared of my grandpa being sick at the hospital

Hallelujah

So I heard that Anna Duggar is thinking about getting a divorce from Josh. If that actually happens it'll be amazing. I'd wish she actually does this

The last 2 summers have been different. last summer I got sick to the point of my landing in the hospital. This one is different because I saw a movie and went to the state Fair

presents

So last christmas, I'd gotten all my friends a bunch of presents. I got my aunt some stuff as well. It was fun. I was like oh i have some disposable income. I'm buying presents for everyone

shopping spree

I went on a shopping spree when i went to getting christmas shopping. Id actually started right after halloween, which seems odd. I'd had a huge bag of stuff for my presents. the bishop of the youth parish i go to said 1 of the gifts was a "nice courting gift" whatever that means. the chocolate for my guy friends was my mom's doing. She wanted to thank my friends for what all they did, which included helping my "recovery" from pneumonia. I wasn't sure what i was going to be doing with all the stuff but what i knew was I am going to spoil my friends with the stuff I'd gotten them. Wasn't the first time I spoiled my friends.

Lori Daybell trial

She's sentanced in the trial and I think she deserves it

So on cinco de mayo my aunt Jacquie and I met up with my friend. What's funny is that my friend said he'd pay for the whole tab. I was like "Hey where's my aunt's bill?" my aunt came back from the bathroom asking the same thing. The friend paid the bill. I'm like good grief

Love your toes

I've gotten a comment on my toes today. Someone noticed my toes. I'm like thanks. That's kinda cool that someone noticed about the thing on my toes.

I've been doing my skin care since I had some mild sunburn. I'm also trying to get some satisfaction from this

Sunburn

I was sunburned yesterday. While I was hydrated i am still managed to burn my skin. I'm getting better. the coffee scrub does well with my skin issues

pumpkin spice season

I can't wait for the pumpkin spice season. I love that kinda stuff. I love it in cereal, coffee and snacks. While I like this kinda stuff it's also super sugary. while i was in the ICU everyone was worrying about the sugary stuff.

the 5k

I signed up for a 5k. It would be a good idea sicne i'm out of the ICU for a year and it's my 1 year mark to celebrate this. my family and i need this. i'm doing something hard like being sick in the ICU.

meal planning

I've been trying to eat out of my fridge, freezer and pantry. why? my atrrocious spending spending habits. I like eating out. Especially since i'm a single female. I'm trying to cut down since i've gotten out of control of my spending. my mom's never taught me but then again no one taught me this.

Cleaning

I just cleaned my bathroom with some soap I'd gotten for Christmas last year. I actually walked out and I said it smells amazing. As weird as it is to say that I really like smelling nice and I think I like it clean. Its weird to say that I love the smell of clean but I do. i love the smell of clean which am amazed that it smells good

Coffee body scrub

i used some coffee to clean myself since sometimes it's a good at exfoliating. especially for dandruff. It also is a good smell for it since the coffee scrub has a coffee smell which I like

Coffee dandruff shampoo

so for the last few days I have been putting coffee grounds in my hair for my dandruff. While my hair is getting better I think it's also drying out my hair. on the upside my hair is growing out faster. my hair is longer than my family but also since I've got dandruff it's annoying and I shaved off some level of my dandruff

Poutine

I went out and got poutine. I love it. I've wanted to have it while I was in Florida

Dislike

There's a reason I don't like drinking alcohol much since I get drunk quickly. While 5% alcohol isn't that much with alcohol i dislike drinking too much since I get drunk easily. I sometimes had some food but still got alcohol in my system but drunkenly rode the bus

Egg salad

I love egg salad. I've made some ate the stuff. Its a good way to use up the food ive gotten in my apartment

shocking

Since i've left my old parish i'm sure they'll be shocked when they get to see me again. I love them but they're trying to hang onto me since i was initally being told to leave them. I won't be with them until the 4th of July.

I got a new pedicure this week. It's awesome since I hadn't had them since i'd not have them since i had them done in December but i'm not 100% sure.

new clothes

I got some new clothes this week. I went there to see what they had. I got 6 items for about 100 dollars. That's kinda scary how much i can get for how little.

feeding my freezer

I'm finally starting to feed my freezer. I'm going thru some of my food and then freezing it when i can. While it's annoying it'll hopefully save me money. I'm kinda spending a ton of money and i'm going to try and cut that down

running around DC

i've started running around DC again. It's fun. the last time i was there i saw some amish

Sandal tan

I received some sandals and now I have a sandal tan that looks like tacos. Its hilarious to me since I love the sandals and apparently they're hand me downs

Waist length hair

While I've mentioned growing my hair out I've wanted to have waist length hair. I've always wanted super long hair and even ehenn I was younger I was even allowed to grow my hair out as long as I wanted. Now that I'm an adult and living alone I'm going to be growing my hair out as long as I want, which I hopefully waist length hair

Today is a lazy Sunday. I'm taking today off since I'm tired. While I could have friends over I've got a sore throat. My friends could come over with pizza if they want but I'm mainly chilling out

Motorcycle

I've wanted a motorcycle since I was a teenager but never thought I could ever own 1 because of a previous health issue. Luckily I have gotten over said issue and can technically drive. If I ever get that thing I'm never letting my brother touch my motorcycle like ever

These have a weirdly calming effect on me. I love forensic files and scary stuff. While i was in the ICU i didn't even have any intrest in this weirdly likely because i had 6 people come and see me.

Ice water

I got a new way to get a bunch of water colder. While I like it, I also use it as a way to clean out my system

Nasty house cleaning

I cleaned my house up last week. It's awesome since I have a place to clean on my own. While it's annoying I love that. The free and clear stuff are my preferred cleaning products since I'm allergic to scented stuff

Natural cleaner

When I can I clean my house with natural cleaner. I can't stand the smell of bad cleaners that have a stick due to my lung problem

Cleaning my glasses

I've got to clean my glasses a lot. Its super annoying since I've got to clean my glasses all the time and every day. My glasses are my way I can clean. Its super annoying but whatever. It's okay

Dandruff

I have serious dandruff which is annoying but it's something kinda not the major

Demanding

I find that my brother demanding that I brush my teeth and do my mouthwash before my friends come to visit me in the ICU last summer it was kinda hilarious as he's my younger brother and I'm in the ICU so I'm like wow. That's nice of him to do that for me

Candles

I've got a lot of these things. I like them since I have things that are smelling good

Playing with babies

I love playing with little babies. I love them and they love me as well. I'm happy to play with them especially since they are cute.

Books

1 Saturday afternoon, I went to a bookstore and I got a couple of books. 1 of them is a book for research on a book I'm going to write at some point. I'm half way through writing my book but I'm kinda busy since I'm distracted by stuff thats working on my life (meaning I'm going through some stuff). Another is a book on another serial killer

Drinking water

Im still dehydrated. Since I'm a flexitarian and mostly eating something plant based food I need more water than my family. I need to drink more water and then get more fluids in my system. I usually drink a half gallon of water since I had 1 as a gift after a stay in the ICU last summer. It helps

eat off stockpile

I've been trying to eat off a stockpile. I'm usually buying things in bulk or when i'm with getting my medication. The good thing is i know when to get things when I need to. I'm getting things and will hopefully use it. I have a good thing to know what to do is low and when i need more of things. While i'm trying to live off of what i have it's not easy and i'm still having things that are impulse buys. I love things that are in bulk. my mom and aunt think that's awesome to live with this. It also depends on what is in your stockpile, your budget, health needs, space and more

recurring dream

in the dream I'm in the Gaylord hotel and convention center with a couple of my male friends, i'm a girl FYI. in the dream we're doing stuff like me sleeping on the pull out couch, which i like and them watching star wars while i go and swim and do things for my scoliosis. why am i dreaming about these things since i like the gaylord hotel and sleeping on a pull out sofa, and swimming but hate star wars, am not that close with 1 of my friends and am missing another 1 of my friends.

walking around

I walk around a lot. While i don't have a car it's easy for me to walk around with. It's annoying i like it. I like walking around.

Marching orders

It might seem weird but I have had a few "marching orders". Once I'd gotten them to "minister to the kentlands ward as i see fit". Otherwise I will have the "marching orders to do things like "take care of yourself", listen to your parents, be safe. the general

Cold Brew coffee

I've got a cold bree coffee since I'm so stressed out. Here's the thing, normally I can't get coffee every time i get stressed out as I'll run out of money and a lot of stuff stresses me out. I love cold brew coffee normally and on occasion I'll drink it. I actually drunk it the day my mom met my friend Andre.

nice socks

Since i was rushing on Sunday morning, I just wore my high heels and I'd worn a pair of Minnie Mouse socks. I liked my socks snce i'd needed new ones. I'd gotten my new socks on and got comments on them. I'm like, "thanks."

having fun

I'd had fun in Baltimore. At first i was like, "this isn't what I wanna do, my leg hurts, i'm not packed fully." My mom kept begging me. I'm like ok mom. I'd had fun. I went to get some insomnia cookies, which are good.

out and about on a rainy day

I've gotta run some errands while it'll be rainy. It's not fun but i've gotta do what I've gotta do what I have done. It's not easy to do that but it's gotta fun. I can do things indoors as well as things that ARE next door to things that are under the awning.

sunglasses and hat

I usually am into wearing over the eyeglasses styled sunglasses. More often than not I wear my sunglasses than my hat but I like the hats i have. My favorite hat is a hat with a Markoff's embolem on it. My mom liked it too. Usually if i have my hat i need it via hair to be dry.

baltimore

I just got back from Baltimore. My mom begged me to come. I wasn't too keen on going. I'm like "ugh ok, mom." While I'd been anxious of going I'd made the best of it. My mom was happy to have me. I'm like trying to have fun, which i did kinda. I'd had some time to think yesterday while I'd been walking back to the airbnb.

to do list

I've been making to-do lists. While it's not fun to have it's something i need to have this to lessen my anxiety. I've got bad anxiety and I'm like i need this to learn how to manage.

Long hair

I'm still trying to grow my hair out like crazy. I'm not used to shorter hair. I'm getting happy my hair is growing out

Cooking

I'm getting better and better at cooking. My mom was wondering what I make. Usually I make vegetarian food that's kinda filling. They're good to have plus I have them and then I'll eat off the stuff I make and get from places like Walmart

My hair dye

I went thru a phase where I'd dye my hair repeatedly. I'm now older and don't do that as much. While my hair is my pride and joy I'm lazy when it comes to dyeing my hair as much as i can. I did it once and my hair became like a cartoon colored person't hair. Once i'd dyed my hair too much and oh boy it took a ton of stuff to take it out.

Long hair

I've been growing my hair out. I love my hair long and so do boys apparently. To an extent my hair is usually long. I hate getting my hair cut. when I was a little girl i threw a fit and was allowed to grow my hair out longer than usual. now that my hair is longer for the most part it's kinda hard to keep in check but i usually like it longer since my hair is my pride and joy as well as something i do seriously take pride in. Plus I can do all kinds of things with it so I wanna keep my hair as long as i can.

Vegan food

I've been eating vegan food for the last few days. I love that kinda thing. breakfast sandwich is something I like to make. Especially bacon

Exploring

I'll be exploring an area near my new apartment via the buses. It's awesome since I am kinda familiar with the area but I'm a little rusty in that area. That's part of the reason I am going to be in a hotel before I go to the apartment

Hotel

I'm going to be staying in a hotel again. I'll be in an industrial area with some basic food. It'll be fun to get me out of the house and I'll get to the place I'll be staying sooner rather than later. Anyways I will be seeing the area I'll be living in over a couple of days when I am in the hotel.

Basic food

I'm going to try and sneak in some basic food stuff to see if I can have a few easy meals in a hotel I'll be in for a couple of days. It won't be anything fancy as I'll be in an industrial area in a hotel. Lucky I can get around and I will be able to get places. The food won't be fancy. mainly soups and sandwiches and stuff like that.

Budgeting

so i learned a few things about budgeting while watch the videos by Jordan Page. This includes eating what you have on hand and going to the store for only a few items or else getting creative. This applies not only for food but also for things like other "consumables" which includes medicine, cleaning products, baby needs such as formula and diapers etc. once my family and I went and spent about 40 dollars on a weeks worth of groceries with us eating what we had on hand and eating out 2x before getting emergency supplies on a Friday. If you have a huge stock of something that would last a while don't buy it. When i get low on my OTC medicine i get more. Another example is BOGO sales. let's say theres a BOGOF (buy one get one free). The sale might cost a little more up front but you'll have more than what you need NOW but in the long run it'll be easier to shop. Same with the buy as big as you can afford. Lets go back to the BOGOF. Let's say it's for a larger size of mouthwash for example but you get 2 large things of mouthwash or rice or whatever. If you get a large enough thing on sale you'll be walking away with items not only at a discount but whenever you change things like recycle the old case of whatever you bought like mouthwash you also don't have to run to the store and buy it.

Lung issues

I just got over a mild chest cold. I got super sick last summer and as a result I have some stuff for my lungs to help when I get sick. Is relied on my maintenance lung medicine (a long term inhaler and allergy medicine) but with the lung issues I'd had I'd needed a rescue inhaler too. I personally hate my lung medicine but it's good to have in case of something like this

Party

i went to a friend's party last night. it was fun. i got to see some friends and meet new friends, which is awesome.

book

i'm writing a book. i've mentioned it to some people. it's a non-fiction. i'm of course writing it as a thank you to the people who helped me during my time in the ICU.

focusing on myself

i'm focusing on myself. i know what everyone says about new years resolutions but i'm really trying to focus on myself. i'm seriously trying to focus on myself. 1 of my best friends who is married knows my friend who likes me wants to protect me. while that's nice i need to breathe. i'm still eager to become his best friend. while he and i already ARE friends his overprotectiveness leads me to being suffocated.

shopping

i went shopping today. it's awesome. i took my aunt to the outlets and then a shopping center. i needed some workout clothing and she needed some stuff so we went a little shopping and then ran errands. some of the shopping was some of the errands but still.
