BEDA 8: Another day, another forgotten post.

Yeah. I'm not as good at BEDA as I thought I would be. I never forgot, mind you. I just remembered far too late when I was way too medicated, in pain, or emotionally unstable to formulate a good post, so I decided against it.

Yesterday was exhausting because I got up relatively early to go grocery shopping with my mom for the first time since we've moved here. It was pretty exciting. (You know it's a dull life when the grocery shopping gets exciting.)

No, but it was really nice to be able to go out and do something for quite a while without feeling a lot of significant discomfort or pain. It was tiring, definitely, but it was productive and it got me out of the house, so it was very much worth it.

Today, I have a physical therapy appointment. In fact, Tuesday and Friday are the only days this week that I have ~open. Wednesday, I have a long overdue hair appointment and on Thursday I have physical therapy again. Friday, God willing, I'll be able to go to church, and then on Sunday our plan is to go to the state fair because that's supposed to be the coolest day in the coming week. The good news is that physical therapy did not really give me any painful side effects, although it really wore me out.

In-between all of that, I've spent most of my free time on photoshop, teaching myself how to color and make graphics and use textures, which is a really fun and semi-productive thing to do, especially when I'm too tired or medicated or what have you to write. But as for writing, I've decided to start another very old project after I finish rewriting the end of the short story I've been posting on my writing blog (on tumblr). It's something that's always stuck with me and that I've always loved but have never been able to finish, and ever since I finished my first novel, leaving things with such great potential unfinished is one of my pet peeves. This one is probably something I'm more familiar with than any other story idea, since I think I first came up with it when I was eleven or so. It's essentially already plotted out in my head, I just need to get it down on paper. So that, along with school starting in just a few weeks, is the major thing I'll be working on.

Maybe I'll come back with an actual topic to write about tomorrow. For now, I've got to get ready for therapy. Until next time. x
