I think the name stems from the dots you put next to each item are called "bullets". And it's a journal in the sense that you're collecting information to refer back to. I'm brand new to this, so I don't know what I'm doing yet. I haven't written anything in either journal! I'm too afraid of messing up even though an article I read said not to be- but it also said to use a regular notebook to practice in. Jumping into new projects: I'm not so sure the jumping isn't an unwell-thought-out action for my brain, you know? I'm too impulsive. I just thought if I could organize all my notes everywhere that would be a good thing! Right now, I've got a dry-erase calendar on the fridge, a note-taking app in my phone, and my little 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 spiral notebook that I use to just jot down whatever it is in my brain that I don't want to forget. That could be appointments, names of movies to watch, lists of photographs that I want to print, old quotes by the kids... just not sure how to translate that to a bullet journal. I get that I can transfer appointments, but at the moment I don't have a calendar! Not in my phone- which really irks me that my phone didn't come with a calendar!- but I have the dry-erase one that is only good for the current month and then I have the entire year on the side of the fridge, but it's just the months and the numbers, no room to write anything.

Just listening to Rene Jacobs sing French songs from the 16th century. (Or maybe it's the 17th?) I took an hour nap today so I hope I can sleep tonight and get up at a reasonable hour.

Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going back to the eye doctor so she can check my eyes again. The drops she gave me are antibiotic drops! The nurse I talked to at my regular doctor's office said that it was "viral" and not bacterial, even though my eyes have cleared immensely in the last week of taking the drops. However, I thought I had an allergic reaction to them as I had an asthma attack pretty much right after taking them. I had to use my inhaler. All was fine and it didn't happen this morning when I used them, so it may have been a coincidence. The script didn't say how long to use them- just 3x a day. So I figure that means until I see her again.
