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

candy

I got some candy. While I've got some health issues I like them.

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

last night i got taken to a crazy activity last night. While i was okay at it. While I wasn't shocked about it I'm like okay i'm new at this. I had a lot of fun. While my mom wasn't there I was suggested to bring chips and salsa. 2 of my friends from church had to dance together. While that might not sound weird they were both guys.

Ravenclaw

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

grocery haul

I've been getting into grocery hauls lately. They're fun. Also I'm trying to learn how to budget and getting bigger and bigger hauls are more expensive but they save me a ton of money.

Colder

I can't wait for the weather to get colder

Volunteer position

I got a volunteer position for the church i go to. Its awesome since I learned that I am a natural at learning how to help out

Clothes

I went shopping one Friday. I was like oh those are cute things. I was like "oh wow that's nice". Plus they are in the sale rack

The mall

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

eternally young

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

Clean

I cleaned my apartment up. It feels amazing and looks nice too

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

Heat wave

Its a heat wave in the area i live in. Many people are getting sick from the heat. In some areas they're adjusting school hours due to the heat

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

Summer

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

Chili

I'm soaking beans for Chili. Ive got a ton of spices and vegan meat in the freezer so it'll be a stretch meal.

Where's the bill?

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

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.

The last time I went to church i put on make up. its awesome and I got attention

Skin care

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.

Creepy susie and fire. me and pumpkin spice stuff. Its hilarious to me but I relate to her

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

Dirty

My apartment is usually nice. While I'm not as nasty as my dad I like cleaning up as much as I can when I can

So when i is living "semi-independently" back in February I was in the Starbucks and I got a cookie from a stranger. this person also said that he would treat me to something. I'm like no thanks. It was still sweet
