I don't often read blogs but when you asked in chat if anyone was reading... I decided to read it.
I love your yearly goals! I hope you don't mind, but I have adopted your style to set some goals for myself. Let me know if you mind outright plagerism.
You and I have the same problem with not eating enough calories. The doctor put me on a diet to increase my calories. But, at the same time, I have to reduce fat and cannot have anything that is more than 2 grams of fat... or not supposed to anyway. He suggested - as a dessert - 8 animal crackers. I do that... but also, as a dessert, I eat Fiber One Shredded mini wheats. They have a little sugar on top so they are tasty.
Good luck with job hunting! It will come... the perfect one. It took me a year to find a job when I first decided to go back to work after we moved from Northern VA to our home here - and I have loved my job for 26 years!
Your goals for writing are wonderful. I need to be writing more and this is a great way to do it. (Again, if you don't want me to use a derivative of your goal chart, let me know and I won't... and of course, I don't mind if you say no.)
You don't suck, everyone gets stuck at times. I got stuck at chapter 6 on my last project, so you have far surpassed me. :D I would suggest taking a small break from it, but you have your own ways, and they seem to be working for you. :) Good luck with your list of goals. I'll try not to distract you too much. For September and November I have my own goals to deal with, so I'll leave you alone for a bit.
I missed it by a day! NO! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you won some money gambling (instead of losing... which I tend to do). Hope you had a fabulous birthday!
It has been a weird, busy month. I had huge plans for nano. Then came home from MN and wasn't feeling very well. Haven't felt well all month. Then with the classes, and one quiz taking 6 hours, that has been a distraction. On top of this is helping my cousin. She doesn't have a vehicle so I've been taking her to where she needs (including a court date, which i had to advise her on), spending time with her and her cute two little kids.
Still not sure why I don't feel well. The doctor couldn't find anything. Have been getting a little better but still bleh and don't know why yet.

No I'm in anatomy and physiology, class and lab. Turns out these are 11 weeks instead of the usual 5.5 weeks that all my other classes have been.

This month has been a monumental failure when it comes to writing. I didn't even finish the last chapter and a half of ED, let alone worked on any of the goals I'd made for this month. I started working on things but then got sick and things fell from there. No short stories written and no freelance articles.
Still sick, which sucks. I started feeling decent earlier. Then went to my car in hopes of going to the grocery store. My car wouldn't start. A light inside somehow got left on (last I used was during day, friday, to get medicine and tissues) and so it wouldn't start. Then, I got home after borrowing a different vehicle and started being productive. One review typed up for my contest, late on judging, and I started feeling awful again.
