Summer Goals Review: July
It's two months into summer! Let's check my progress and hope I get better in my last chance--August.
-get a job
-move to austin
These two are definitely complete, and I won't be checking up on them anymore.
-practice drawing everyday
… WAHHH.
I probably manage to doodle most days, but this goal DEFINITELY isn't coming along well. I guess I've drawn from life at least three times in the past month, though, which is more than I could say before.
-blog 3 times a week
I'm cutting this one real close. As I explained a couple posts ago, the lack of wifi makes me less likely to just open a tab to blogger and start typing. Even if I have interesting stories from work or something, I usually forget them in my relief to just be home for the day. As it is, I'm scraping by, and I admit I looked for something from my computer to post in order to round this month's entries up to 12.
-webcomic 1-2 pages per week
UGH, I am a lazy bum. I have the next at least nine panels planned out, but I've only drawn two of them and colored none. I should be working on this and it's dumb that i'm not, especially since a webcomic is something ya GOTTA keep up with. People are COUNTING on me!!!!
So, the goals aren't going great this month, but at least I'm working and getting by. I guess I'm kinda impressed by how well I've handled the transition to independent living, but at the same time, I'm not too surprised.

It's true, I haven't been blogging much
This is actually kind of upsetting to me, but not surprising. You see, without the wifi access constantly begging me to waste time on the computer, I don't think to start absentmindedly typing away about my day as much. You may have noticed the lack of mundane "I did about five things today posts" that despite being of very little interest to anyone I don't know, were the type of thing I wrote all the time anyway. I do want to make posts that are more philosopical in nature, but since I often blog for myself anyway, I still want it to be a sort of journal place for me... I guess...
Well, here's a mundane kind of story from my life. Yesterday at work, every manager and boss I've ever seen seemed to be there except the one guy who's on vacation. They were making sure everything looked spotless and I had heard employees buzzing the day before about making sure their shirts were ironed and I was hearing things like "he likes caps" so someone was asked to wear one who didn't usually or something. I don't remember. Anyway, the point of all this is that apparently an important person was coming, but I never caught who it was. I was sure that once this person arrived, I'd notice because often bossmen etc are surrounded by the managers and stuff. But it was such a busy day yesterday! People just kept on coming. The rush didn't really slow down til 2:00, I think, when usually it's over at 1:00 or 1:30. And even during the usually slow times, people kept walking in, so I couldn't get away from the line completely for a water break until I don't know, 2:30? And then I foolishly decided it was the day to finally try that bright red fruit punch (a very little) and it was not delicious. I think I'm sticking to water on my water breaks. Good idea, Claire.
Once I got home I had leftover pesto pasta SO DARN GOOD AHHHH, and did stuff and all that. I started making a card for my mom's parents' 50th anniversary but I was kind of stumped on what sort of "feel" the card should have. I need to get that finished tonight after work or maybe this afternoon before work but I don't know.
I was going to clean the bathroom but I need a scrubby toothbrush to scrub away some mold using bleach. There's this random pipe that drips water into the bathtub (perhaps a sort of exhaust thing) and it's better the bathtub than elsewhere but the consequence is that it never really dries out. So I'm waiting on a scrubby toothbrush from mi madre.
I ate, also, cereal mixed with nutella and peanut butter and after the soda was REALLY not needing more sugar but I had wanted to go to starbucks all day for some reason, so Bethany and I, already planning to walk around at the Domain, made it our mission to go to Starbucks. We used fake names. She was Harley and I was Coco. So everyone in the store thought those were our names as we were called to receive our beverages.
There had been live music but it took so long in Starbucks that we missed the end of it.
Then we went to the store and almonds are EXPENSIVE and we were looking forward to a less-than-a-dollar cantaloupe but we couldn't find them and THEY WERE OUT OF SPINACH ;-;
And that night it thundered and rained and it was AMAZING and we had a short power outage too. :\
AND THERE YOU HAVE YESTERDAY
also there was this yummy iced tea I made by letting a vanilla teabag sit in ice/room temperature water for a while and I have more to come back to later so yummmm
