Friday evening, Aaron and I walked to Starbucks so he could get his birth week drink. We also went to Little Caesars and I got pizza for the first time in 2 weeks. My dietician wanted me to stop eating it altogether, which was the only thing I ruled out on the spot. I did commit to cutting back from having a slice every day, which is what I was doing, so I’ve successfully cut way back. Balance. That’s what I need. I’ve still stayed up with my intake of fruits and vegetables and other elements so I feel pretty good about that.
We didn’t watch “The Sound of Music” on Friday or Saturday. I was struggling with migraines both days, likely in part due to the weather. That reminds me that I still need to solve an issue with one of my medications which was supposed to have been filled a long while back, which was apparently lost, only I didn’t notice at the time because I’d cut down to half my usual intake (with my doctor’s guidance) – only that didn’t work so I went back up and now I’m learning that I don’t have anymore. So I need to fix that before I travel this week and preferably before, because it helps with my stomach.
We finally watched “The Sound of Music” today, which made Aaron very happy. I’m working on my Marvel guide for the Multiverse Saga and I’m nearly done…except that it’s too long and needs to be split up into sections, only I’m not sure what those sections should be. I’d definitely like to finish it soon though.
I did not go outside on Saturday or Sunday. I have to go out tomorrow because of an appointment. We leave for Michigan on Wednesday and won’t be back until the following Monday.
I called my step-dad and left a voicemail, as he never answers his phone. I tried calling my bio dad but nobody answered at his place. I’ll be seeing both of them later this week though.
I’m sleepy.
Today’s journal music quote title is from “Heavy Cross” by American indie rock band Gossip, from their 2009 album, “Music for Men”. I’ve tried to start watching The Vampire Diaries for the third time in my life. The other attempts ended with me stopping after the second episode, which features this song. I’ve made it to the third this time, so progress? I read and enjoyed the original 4 novels in the series when they were new, but even then I thought they were a bit silly. The adaptation is problematic for me, but it also feels very similar to series like “Smallville” only instead of being about Superman and aliens it is about vampires and supernatural creatures – but it’s so similar to “Smallville” that it feels redundant. And I’m pretty sick of high school stories like this one. Even “Smallville” wasn’t that great – I just watched it all because I was bored. Someone famously asked me what I was watching at the time and when they asked if I’d recommend it I said no, because it’s not good, but I found it mildly entertaining due to my familiarity with DC comics. Anyways, it is okay for now. I doubt I’ll get too far into it though.
