Followed you everywhere

Haven’t been writing, hadn’t had the desire. What was supposed to be an honest effort to get my life together, tugging the strings, tightening everything up, yadda yadda yadda has devolved into a scenario where I come home, take a bath, and fall onto my couch to binge watch Marvel movies and take naps, which I hate doing. I can’t seem to get myself into MOVE IT mode, which I need to do desperately. I have a shit-ton of laundry I need to do (that is my Friday/Saturday night) and do a deep clean of my apartment because I’m having the sleepover on Thursday and will be gone all weekend. Also need to update iPod, put ringtones on new phone, figure out my goddamn laptop, which still won’t boot up. The Apple person I talked to says there’s a loose wire somewhere, which is beyond me because I’ve never dropped the damn thing. I suspect there was a power surge and it wiped my hard drive, which really sucks because the cheapest SSD on Amazon is like $200, which is beyond me right now. Whatever the case, it’s definitely out of warranty, the Apple store is still shut down, and I don’t even want to think about what it would cost to fix it. Thankfully, if it was a power surge, it didn’t fry my whole computer. I need to get back on with an Apple tech tonight or Friday and see what else I can do because it’s sticking like a burr in the back of my mind.

I got my video camera and it works well enough for what I want to do-I’ve never really much been into video but I feel the need to start taking more of them. I like that it’s small enough to put in my backpack, though I might have to look into getting another memory card.

Spent the weekend watching Cobra Kai with Scott. Went to Barnes & Noble and got a copy of The Stand. On Labor Day, went to Autum’s and had a little party with them. Her pool was green (these stupid fucking apartment complexes need to get their shit together, mine’s still closed and will probably remain closed) so we couldn’t swim. We made a crapload of food and sat around and shot the shit. When I got home I passed out. I don’t know why I’m so goddamn tired lately.

Felt the need to write last night but couldn’t bring myself to get off the couch and do it. My story develops more and more every day, and my characters become more and more real, especially their backstories, which I enjoy writing.

Not in the mood to be social right about now, I think I need the cave, especially since next week’s going to be hectic and I need to focus on taking my pills so I won’t be all over the goddamn place before we leave for Biloxi. I switched Monday and Thursday so I get off early. Going to go bring Jack to LaPlace, then head back to my place before people come over. I don’t know what time we’re leaving on Friday but I might go make groceries before everyone wakes up, depends, I don’t know, I might still be getting things together. Looking forward to going to the comic book store and going to eat at Half Shell (cajun potatoes, mmmm) and hanging out with my friends. I checked the weather and it says it’ll rain on Saturday but that’s way too far in advance to worry about. God, I can’t wait to get the fuck out of this state.
