Not great today -- have another headache. It's a mild dull one so it's more annoying than painful. I think I'm going to go back to bed and see if it doesn't ease up. I went out for a minute today with my mom and bought her a book she has been wanting. It's nice to have money again, being so long with $0 on hand. Just being able to afford doing something for someone else felt nice. Besides, it's not like I don't owe her for putting up with me while I was jobless, and without her help I would have been homeless. I'm just glad I could do a little something to make her smile.

I'm feeling alright today -- but a little down. I think it's the weather -- it's pretty crappy out. Wet, rainy, cold, grey. Just not a very pleasing scenario. I'm going to try to eat/drink better. I am normal weight but I don't like my body -- I need to exercise. It'll be a challenge but I'll try it anyway.

I found this cool journal prompt the other day, if you guys like to write. It is "Ask someone who knows you well to list three of your strengths [personal or academic]. Do you agree with this list? Then, write why you think this person sees these things as strengths in you". I think it's a good exercise for us with insecurities, down on hard times, or just wanting to know we contribute some good to the world somehow. I asked two different people who gave me very similar answers -- so, I must be doing something right, because the things they saw as strengths are things I want to be. I need to foster those strengths more.


I don't have much more to write. That about sums it up.
