I'm Probably Not Gonna Say Anything Important, But What the Heck

     Like the title says, I don't have anything particular to talk about today, but I thought it might be a good idea to just write something since I have time. What did I do today? Well, I woke up late, that's one thing. I set my alarm for 9:30 and I kept going back to sleep because I thought my alarm would wake me up, but when I finally looked at  my phone it was 11:19!!!!!!! 0_0    Aaaand I was planning on leaving at 11am... x"D So, needless to say, I wasn't gonna quite make that. But, I knew that I wasn't like late for an app, I was just meeting family for family stuff and my uncle was coming farther than I was and I knew I'd probably still get to where I needed to go before him anyway XP And  I did. I got ready and left the house by 11:45, obv, no breakfast, but I had a big meal the day before and stuff. Also, I think I want to get into kombucha more. I've had a few, and I like the Synergy brand and the Hummm brand. Basically, the fruity ones you can get at like Target and Safeway and stuff. I say "and stuff" a lot... Oh well XD
   So, we did what we needed to do and then went to lunch with my other uncle who was cleaning out my gpa's house, cause like I said in the last post, he died so now we got house stuff to deal with. The house is looking a lot cleaner and less stuff-y now that a few truck fulls have gone to the dumps. And trust me, I'm big on recycling and reusing and being good to the earth, but some stuff is just too crappy to give to someone else and its from a time that didn't know/care about the environmental effects their products would have on the future... so unfortunately, to the dump  it goes :/
     But, we are able to give a lot away to organizations or neighbors or family XD Since we've got all these fire around at least some people are in need. But, I'm sure even the poorest wouldn't want a lot of what some people got to give in their houses, ya know. Anyway... I've been searching for clothing companies and local stores that sell eco clothes or ethical clothes and stuff. I really want to invest in goo d pieces that were made responsibly and by people who are being paid a living wage. The only thing with looking for companies like that, though, is that I like to try stuff on in store, which you can't do, cause most of these stores are online... And then, the stuff is more expensive. Which is why I still look for sales and clearance! Bam! There are def already items online that I've been so tempted to buy, but I haven't been working as much this year... money wise, and I don't want to be dipping into savings just to pay off my credit card bill. Ya know? One thing I have been tempted to do, though, is try to sell my old clothes or other things I have. Like... I'm sorta torn between straight up giving stuff away (for other companies to sell... I dunno about that sometimes) or trying to sell my stuff myself. Like, I feel like if I had the money to buy something in the first place, I kinda feel guilty trying to sell it to someone else. Like.. I feel like if I have enough money, I should be able to just give it away... But then, I think about what I want to buy and what I want to buy is much more expensive than the stuff that I already have and why shouldn't I have some extra money to help with the cost of supporting a better cause.... But then I wonder what's the best website to sell stuff on... Yeah... basically, I'd love the extra cash to help buy better stuff, but I sorta feel bad that I can't just straight up give my old stuff away. But then again, the places that I usually give to would sell the stuff for more expensive than I would personally buy old stuff... Ugh. I dunno. Maybe I will try selling some of my old stuff, just to try. If anyone knows any good websites, let me know :)
     Ummm... what else... Now I'm just on Youtube, watching and catching up. I'm still not in school, due to evac stuff and so I'm creating a bad sleep schedule for myself XD But... umm... Toodles! God Bless ^_^

One Thing After Another

     So... I wasn't gonna say anything, because personally, its not such a big deal to me, emotion wise, but last week, last Tues morning my grandfather passed away. But to me I'm like "its ok, he's with Jesus, he's with his wife, he's literally doing waaaaay better off than us" x"D So, on the emotion and sadness front, I'm ok, and the family is more or less ok. He was also pretty old, 87 and he has been having more and more significant problems in the past couple years and stuff and about a month and a half ago he went on Hospice and all. So that was fine... but we are still dealing with a crap ton of stuff that he left us with! Its so much fun... not. But its ok. We are slowly checking off the boxes and dealing with the hiccups. And now this week, I dunno how many of ya'll watch the news and pay attention to big fires... but lets just say I am very close to many fires going on in Northern California right now... x"D I haven't personally dealt with our stuff burning down, cause we are more in the city limits but the outskirts of certain cities have definitely... been burned to a crisp and more homes and structures are threatened and on evac watch. I don't have school today, didnt yesterday as well, because my school is being used as an evac sight. I probably won't have school tomorrow either. And maybe for the rest of the week... I almost was wondering if I had a work place to go to too, but my work seems to be out of the immediate fire danger area, though, like our house, still relatively close to it all and still in danger if things go awry. And man, I don't think I've prayed about a situation as non stop as this! Sunday night was so windy! The main reason it all got so bad! And I got like two hours of frantic sleep because of it. Which is better than the people that had their houses or wineries burned down... but geez. I think I have literally said "Our Father..." like a hundred times. It's my go-to. But yeah. I'm planning on donating my grandfather's clothes, after I wash them, to the families that need help. I'm trying to think of what else I can do to, that isn't necessarily monetary, cause hello, college student! But yeah. I figure clothes is the least I can do and prayer is the most :) Oh, and just to back track a bit, I've also never been in a power outage more than 15 hours before XD It sucks! And no cell service! So... don't loose your land lines people! Hard wire!!!
     Anyway... If you don't know about it already, please pray for the people in Northern CA, and Southern, affected by these massive fires. Its scary and sad, but God is always on our side! We will rebuild and move on, and it'll be ok eventually, but it'll be sad for a while, but its ok. In God We Trust! Toodles! Stay Safe!

Aiy Yai Yai

    I just wanted to put something up because I haven't posted in a month! 😭 Sorry! I've just been so busy! And I've been feeling like what I want to say on here... doesn't matter 😅 So I don't bother even posting... I just need to post and get into it! Before the month started I wanted to try that whole "post every day for a month" things, but since I didn't get started... I figure maybe wait till November... Maybe. I just literally have like no time to log in and write and post and deal with my computer. Ugh. I did record a personally satisfactory cover of "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, because I've been listening to so much Disney lately! I love it! Disney songs... not necessarily my cover XP But, I'll try to get a link to that one of these days. Just to force myself to do something out of my comfort zone.
    Uhhhhhh... what else... that I can say quickly... Ummmm... I do have many ideas for posts that I'll try to get up soon, because I've been, shall we say, learning and thinking a lot about a lot of stuff. Then again, when am I not thinking? I probably bother God with how much I think and pray XP Justkidding, but seriously, sometimes it sucks to get stuck in my head. Its not always the best place for me XP But yeah. Just wanted to post something to hopefully kick me into gear. So yeah! Toodles and God Bless! :D
