To Do List final update.
My last few days of August were just busy with life and rebuilding my calibre fanfiction library. I put together a new dresser this last week, so that took up an evening.
I asked my bank for a credit increase on my card and they approved it. Which is awesome, because then I don't have to deplete what savings I have to fix the things I need to on my SUV, such as new wheels and tires, as well as getting an oil change, having the AC checked/fixed, and getting a new stereo with bluetooth. So I should get that done this month.
I was only fully successful in two goals last month, which was not buying snacks from work and not playing any games on my phone. I was semi-successful with my social media hiatus because I had stayed off of most of it until today, but once my ST friends encouraged me to get on IG for the album demo leak, that opened the door and I did check with IG a few times after that, but tried to limit it.
Adding all my socials (or most), back on to my phone, definitely means that the power goes quicker. It's amazing how much they utilize, even when "dormant" or non-active. I did only add back one game and played a bit today. I also am more aware of the way it's so easy to open the app and just start scrolling as opposed to opening the app and going to the friends' list. That's one thing I'll be working on, is making sure that I don't get pulled into endless scrolling and just checking in on the people I want to follow.
This isn't much of a round up but that's okay.
I made the decision this last week that I'll be trying to eat more vegetarian-based things but I'm really more of a flexitarian, which is someone who is mainly vegetarian but does eat meat on occasion. So I'll be messing around with that and trying to figure out what to do for breakfast and lunches and so on. For the most part, our family doesn't eat a whole lot of meat. Except lunch meat. And on the weekends, chicken or pork and during the week sausage, shrimp, etc. I'm also trying to lower the amount of food I actually eat. Mainly because I don't need everything I take with me to work on any given day. I'm fine with something smaller for lunch. And that's just a struggle that I am dealing with: eating for the size of human I want to be, versus what I think I need, which more often then not make me too full and that's not fun.
New to do list is here. And new reading list is here.
I read a total of 90 fanfictions in August for a total of 1,581,098 words as well as 1 published novel, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I need to mark my favorite fanfictions, I forgot to do that.
It was nice not to worry about the Archive either and moving forward I'm not going to post EVERYTHING, like I was attempting to do, but I'll only post what I want. I have other things in life I want to do and it's my archive and I'll do what I want to lol.
Anyway, life is okay. That is all for now.
