MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU! :)
Today is my sister’s birthday! She’s officially 26. I called her, but she can’t really talk because she’s sick. So I guess I’ll celebrate her birthday with her next month when I get back home. I gave her a fair warning so let’s see how that goes.
So this past weekend, I found e.l.f. skin care products. I got the daily hydration moisturizer, hydrating serum, and nourishing night cream. I’ve been using it this week and it does make a difference. I was a little hesitant to try it because I have sensitive skin, but my skin hasn’t had any rashes or anything like that. It’s actually made my skin softer and you can really see a difference. When I run out of face wash I will be getting those products from e.l.f also so I can try them out. I’m excited :)
I had a lovely surprise by one of my best friends. He decided to call and check up on me. How sweet. We both vented and gave each other our support. I love how I can finally have a relationship with him after so long. Good news! He made the decision to limit his drinking! FINALLY!!! You guys have NO idea how long I’ve been trying to help him understand the severity of his actions and it’s finally happened. PROGRESS!!! \(^_^)/ He made me very happy today.
I am very sleep deprived right now and am hungry also. I don’t really want to eat, but I do have an appointment to get to in about 35 minutes so I’ll be getting ready to do that. Here’s some serious talk though. I finally was falling asleep and then I was woken up because someone came to the apartment looking for me. It was someone that works for the housing office and I got a 3 day notice. I was freaking out for a couple hours, but somehow dad managed to get a loan. He has to pay it in a week or so, but I have NO idea how that’s going to happen. I’m trying to find a way to help him so that I can take loans on my plate instead of his. I’m going to be having a student debt anyway so I’ll just add that on. It’s only temporary anyway. I’m looking at it like an investment for myself and to ease my dad’s stress a bit. He won’t have to know too much. I’m young. I can handle these things better than he can. Anyways, housing payment has been made in full thanks to my dad and also my boyfriend. I used up as much as my savings as I could. I just left enough for food and gas.
Speaking of boyfriend...i spent the weekend with him to help him clean his mom’s house before we picked her up from the hospital. He wanted to spend this upcoming weekend with me, but because of his expenses he won’t be able to. First of all, I had no idea about his plan of coming down, but either way I would have told him no. Not only does he need to be there for his mom, but also I have work I need to get done. I can’t get that done if he’s down here. So instead I’ll try to go down to Orange County to my aunt’s place if she’s not busy. I’ll get my work done there and also get to eat yummy food. :)
I’m extremely proud of myself for not panicking for too long. I think this is the fastest I’ve managed to regain my composure. I’m trying so hard to manage everything. I’ve started taking better care of my skin, trying to eat healthier, trying to fix my mistakes from last quarter, AND managing mental health...all while trying to reassure my dad that I can do this. He’s been stressing out so much, but I had to remind him that he’s only been involved for not even a year. I’ve been trying to handle all of these things and more for the past decade. If that doesn’t show him that I can do something then I have one special father. Well, that’s all for the update for the day. I need to mentally prepare myself for my appointment. Hope you guys have a lovely day. <3 :)
