I’m a little sad I never got any merch from my time at college. I did it all distance education as well but I had to go into the college for exams and I never bought anything. I always thought ‘oh next exam I’ll buy something.’ But alas. I have my certificates I guess that’s good enough hahaha.

But this time I actually wanted something to wear.

yeah, it's supposed to be 100 degrees here today. Fun. ugh.


Yeah, I'm going to go to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach CA for my birthday! My Dad got the tickets. Only it's like three hours away and he got the tickets for 10 AM. So we have to leave at like 7 AM at the latest. Not sure what he was thinking. Oh well. Should be fun. Can't wait actually.

Amelia loves laying on top of hers. I got hers at Petsmart I think. Esther just likes her regular scratching post. I also got that at Petsmart. Then I got a little thing from Amazon which is like a box (but it's not cardboard) and it has a little opening. Esther likes to go in there and hide.

Instacarting...aside from the not healthy salad I’m getting a chocolate pie and some drumstick ice creams....I’ve been craving them for some reason.

I posted a pic of me from my fb memories at the zoo like days after my diagnosis...most notably I was thin....

I think it could be you’ve been doing more self care? Like you got cookies Roll Call 168 =), ordered yourself a little something and are making positive plans for the future. At least for me I’ve gotta do something nice for myself every now and then and it’ll keep my mood in the positive zone.

Yeah my pics are like that too, thin before diagnosis and starting APs and mood stabilizers. I'm hopeful that the metformin will help though.

Drumstick ice creams are good
