Word of the Day: 逸脱
itsudatsu - deviation, departure, or straying from a norm/rule.
Unfortunately I have started using ChatGPT to pick my word of the day since I don't talk to Japanese people enough lately to do some natural learning.
Well that's not true, I do talk to Japanese people and have learned new words with them but, I forgot to make notes while chatting with them.
It is kind of easier to just have a quick place to get the words.
Today I missed my dentist appointment since I had a hard time going to sleep last night. I think it is because I've been eating too much lately.
I really need to stop eating more than one cup of noodle a day since it has like 60% of your daily sodium in one cup.
I was supposed to take a blood test today so I feel like I need to skip that.
I think I need to drink more water just to counter the salt and hunger.
I get paid in a week so, I'll most definitely use my money to buy better food. In the meantime, I am sort of looking for a commission just to tie me over, but the search has been sort of dismal.
I am not too worried though, I feel like I can just do other stuff in the meantime. Plus, I have enough food to "not die" before I get paid so.. yea.
It will be hard to be in a calorie deficit again, but I can do it, and to be honest, with this sodium spike in my blood right now, I think fasting will be healthier than continuing to eat food like that.
I might need to visit a food bank just to kinda tie me over as well. I don't have shame over that really as my mom also has utilized them in the past when times got tough. I am more worried about the fact that sometimes those foods are ALSO not as healthy so, I dunno. I guess I am not going to live off of them forever so, just doing what I got to do for now is not bad.
That's the one nice thing about being in the US, whether you have money or not, you can usually eat ( I mean, if you are still able to like walk/go to said places ) since we have a focus on being fat.
So basically sustenance is covered. I might go next month as well to just put myself in an adequate surplus so I can use my cash and EBT on things I need.
Supplemental food boxes provide food once a month to those in need.
Ah ok, so I can only utilize it once a month anyway. Well that is fine, I just need something to cover for like a week or so.
Looking at my Project pages, I feel I am busy in a very stupid way, it is just the survival game at this point but, I think next month will be a bit easier to navigate.
I mean since I have my timers again and I am... well basically able to organize myself, it makes it feel more manageable. And I have updated the format on how I do my project pages so, it will be more useful to me so I am not wasting paper.
I just have a lot to do from now until then. Luckily I have the energy for that now, so I have that going for me.
Also, there is still the house in Hawaii that I need to figure out, but I don't have any mental space for that right now.
