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.

haircut

i got a haircut. it's nice just shorter. least it'll be easier to take care of.

dirt bike

i've always wanted to ride a dirt bike. it sees scary but it's kinda cool looking.

movies

lately, mom and i have been watching movies. i convinced her to watch the giver. it's an awesome movie but she's kinda shocked by it. it's a great movie based on an even better book, which she hasn't seen.

talking

i usually am into talking in church. while i'm able to talk when appropriate now i'm referring to bearing my testimony. for the last few months i've bore my testimony. it's kinda nice. in fact the last time i bore my testimony i got high fives because of it.

gifts

my mom is into giving gifts. while i am too it's kinda more small scale. i'd actually found most of them while i was out an about shortly after halloween. i'd actually found things i'd wanted when i was in florida. i also found things for people who cared for me when i was sick. some things i found and at least i have it and then i'll figure out what to do with them.

pigtails

i'm growing my hair out. while i'm still having my hair long it'll be longer as long as it can. while i haven't cut my hair yet it'll be there to put in a pigtail until i can't. ironically when i was sick my mom said we'd get our nails done and our hair cut and all that stuff.

Videos

i just posted 2 new videos. some are fun. others are serious. others are meant to be mocked and made fun of possibly at the creators expense. i assure you those poking fun at creators like that aren't doing it for the fun of it.

reading

i got a couple books a week ago. it's kinda cool since i like my books and reading. my friends have not been into reading but it's ok. intrestingly,my friend said i'd be into seeing a book store but isn't into reading. i'm like really?

fingerprinting

i'd gotten an appointment for fingerprinting. while i'm not super intrested in that it's for my job. it's kinda awesome i'm getting jobs and stuff for teaching kids.

Politics

I'm not a big fan of politics especially lately but i heard Trump was thinking of running again and even announced his 3rd run. I'm not a fan of republicans. my mom isn't either. my maternal grandparents were republicans and many members of the church i belong to are also republican but they are denouncing what Trump's doing

Getting better

I'm quite shocked that I had pneumonia and bronchitis last summer. I'm so much better than I was last summer to the point I don't even believe I was that sick. I'm looking forward to the holidays and even had gone out for Halloween. I'm so much better

Funny and cute

When I was a kid my mom used to call the area we have in our house we're calling the forest the "100 acre woods" which is a nod to the Winnie the Pooh

YouTube channel

While I'm still doing my videos its fun. my mom loves it and even took control of 1 video. Its kinda hilarious to see it but I like doing my channel.

house sitting

I love house sitting. While i'm into having the house to myself it's also kinda scary. I've had some people over possibly. While i'm usually ok on my own since I've had some lung issues it's kinda ok for me to go out with my friends possibly.

true crime stuff

I don't know why i'm drawn to true crime stuff. Why? I don't know. While i'm watching more of this, i'm not sure. My mom was kinda freaked out at that point. While it's kinda weird to listening to it's also awesome. my friends had been like, "I'm stronger than they are" as many people wouldn't be able to do the things i do.

Suicide of Joyce Marilyn Meyer Sommers

Joyce Marilyn (Meyer) Sommers, also known as the Christmas Tree Lady, was a formerly unidentified American woman who died by suicide in a cemetery in Annandale, Virginia on December 18, 1996. She was identified more than 25 years later on May 11, 2022. Life: Sommers was born to Arthur Meyer and Margaret Meyer and had four siblings. She was raised in Davenport, Iowa and later attended Iowa State University. Sommers then relocated to Los Angeles to work at a magazine. After she left the magazine, she taught second grade at a local Los Angeles elementary school. In the 1960s, Sommers and her mother had an argument when she felt that her mother was treating her terribly. Sommers then moved to Seattle and married but later divorced in 1977. She then moved to Tucson, Arizona where her siblings visited her. This was the last time they saw her. Her siblings later hired private investigator to locate her, but this failed. In the early 1990s, Sommers's brother traveled to Tucson in an attempt to locate her, only to find the trailer she had lived in abandoned. In it, he discovered a book, "The Target Child", written by Sommers. In the book, she wrote about her supposed abusive upbringing. Suicide: On December 18, 1996, a little after 9 a.m., workers at the Pleasant Valley Memorial Park Cemetery in Annandale, Virginia, discovered the body of a woman. She was found near the section of the cemetery where infants are buried. They then called police. It was discovered that she put a bag over her head and secured the bag with tape. She was wearing a red shirt, a sweater, blue pants, and an Eddie Bauer jacket. An 8 in (200 mm) Christmas tree and her backpack were found next to her. She was also found to be listening to a cassette tape using a tape player and headphones. Two notes were found with one saying, "Now I lay me down to sleep, soon to drift to the eternal deep. And though I die and shall not wake, sleep sweeter will be than this life I forsake." The second message read "Deceased by own hand. Prefer no autopsy. Please order cremation, with funds provided. Thank you, Jane Doe." Two $50 bills were found with her. One of the bills was for the cemetery, and the other bill was for the coroner. Authorities determined that she committed suicide by suffocation, but were unable to identify her. Investigation: The then unidentified woman, nicknamed the Christmas Tree Lady, was reported to be a Caucasian woman, had a height of around 5 ft 0 in (1.52 m), and was between 50-70 years old. Alcohol and valium was found in her system. Hoping to find a match, authorities looked at many nearby cases which involved missing people, but they failed. In 2000, a colored sketch of the Christmas Tree Lady was released. In January 2022, the Texas lab, Othram, conducted tests using DNA. The tests were made possible by donations. In May 2022, Othram discovered that a man, David Meyer, could be the Christmas Tree Lady's brother. After David Meyer looked at the drawing of the Christmas Tree Lady, he was not able to say whether or not she was his sister because the last time he saw her was decades ago. The detectives were then told to go to his sister, Clough. After seeing the drawing, Clough said that she was definitely Joyce. DNA was taken from Clough, and the Christmas Tree Lady was identified as 69 year old Joyce Marilyn Meyer Sommers. She was not reported missing.

scary stuff

Last night during the zoom call i did with my family I said i hadn't gotten around to watching the Jeffrey Dahmer documentary. While i'm intrested in it I hadn't seen it as I've been trying to get used to the life post pneumonia. It's cool and i've basically listened to all the Jeffrey Dahmer stuff on youtube.
