The month is coming to an end and I feel that now is a good time as any to think about the days ahead. Since I have to spend my disability income, I have commissioned some artwork from freelancers online. However, I was hoping to save at least a few hundred for the upcoming trip to Japan. Everything is priced so high these days, I am barely making ends meet myself, and I don’t think that I can pass a college class or need more credentials.
It’s been several days since I last left the house, so I am excited to go with my mom to town tomorrow. I think that I would like to get some chick-fil-a and buy some soy milk. I’m thinking that, since it’s our first time visiting Japan, we will stay around Tokyo and Yokohama. These days, I think often about the subdued beauty of East Asian cities and I’d like to commission more artwork from it at some point. I’m also worried my mom’s retirement is being stalled and I was hoping she could retire by this Summer, with some help negotiating the terms.
I’m hoping to write “The Cloud Weaver,” about my family, and “Midnight in the World of Alice,” a speculative experimental piece, that I’d like to submit to contests. I’m worried about the near future and part of me wants to remain distant from the fighting. I’m not sure what to expect since Jackie is usually the only one who tells me what is going on. I’m hoping to have a productive Summer of writing and to complete both projects before our trip. I’m very excited to get my postcards printed next month and to receive copies of “Women on the Camino del Norte” and “Grace.”
I’m hoping to score a publication with a mental health magazine called “Please See Me,” and to submit more short stories later, too. It’d be nice if Jackie could come visit Hawaii.
