Note: these things do not have to happen in this order. :)
today: well that started poorly, ha. church was fine. now: clean room. work on croissants with Mom. possibly start using sewing machine. read and/or watch Skins/Heidi while snuggled in chair. bathe Pip. eat a lot for dinner. eat chocolate ice cream. bed early.
p.s. hey laura today is the third anniversary of the day you got the call that Daddy was dying and had to throw shit in a backpack and go straight to the airport to fly home. it’s okay if it’s kind of shitty. february is almost over. hang in there.

me and the pup. calm cool and collected. next up: post office. finish cleaning. lunch. STUDY TIIIIME
Note to self: stop freaking out that you’re making “bad decisions.” You’re 22, unmarried, without kids, extremely luckily debt-free, and right now is the last time in your life you will be that way! So just do things!!

Self-care in the form of cookies, tea, and Doctor Who. (It is stormy outside).
Then: unpack suitcase. Mild futuring. GRE verbal practice.
This coming weekend will be all-day epic studying. And it’s going to be okay.

Plan to combat the grumpies:
1. Shower with quiet piano-ish music : try and let it go
2. Comfy clothes
3. 15-minute room tidy
& then I can move on to math, dinner, Skype, etc.
home. greet puppy (check!). open package with new clothes (check!). next up: remove hair from supertight braid. change into comfy clothes. tidy bedroom. fill up water bottle and take dog for a medium-length walk. finish today’s math. make double-sized dinner; eat one half and save the other for tomorrow’s lunch. Skype with David (set out clothes and pack bag at the beginning of our conversation). 9:30 bedtime.
things to keep in mind: make reservation for Sunday. look into plane tickets for October. ask Mom for $$ for IMAlive training?
