Hi, everyone!
First of all, my apologies for not posting an update last month. I was stressed at the beginning of the month about my DMV appointment, and then I immediately caught a cold, and I put off writing the update long enough that I just decided to skip it.
So, things that have been happening the last 2 months.
The two big things are that I went to the eye doctor mid August and finally got my prescription updated and I made it to my September 5th appointment at the DMV to get my ID. I'd been putting both of them off for about a year and a half, so they really are huge accomplishments. The DMV appointment was even more impressive because I managed to do it even though I came down with a cold literally the day of the appointment and I felt like I was trying to swallow broken glass.
Other things that I've been doing including continuing to teach myself chemistry (I'm almost done), crocheting and working on prepping to open my store (the current estimate is sometime after the new year), and trying to connect with my friends and socialize more.
All in all, its been a pretty eventful 2 months.
As for things going this coming month, I have a few pretty big tasks.
First of all, I started doing habit reversal training on the 23rd for my maladaptive daydreaming. I'm working in conjunction with a research team, and its super stressful but I'm very excited.
Now that I have my ID, I can get started on filing all of the necessary paperwork to get my shop open. First up is the doing business as statement, which I'll send off to the county clerk's office as soon as I get some checks so that I can pay the fee. While I'm waiting for that to be filed, I have other stuff to do to get my shop ready to open, including figuring out pricing, buying all of the supplies that I need, and starting to photograph the items.
My other main task is to finish teaching myself chemistry. I had been hoping to finish in September, but I didn't manage to do it because of having to take a break while I was sick. I've got 2 more sections left, so I should be able to finish with a fair amount of time left over. Once I'm done with chemistry, I need to take some math and English proficiency tests so that I can figure out what I need to study before I'm ready to take placement exams for college.
The only other thing that I know I'm going to be working on this month is tapering down one of my anxiety medications. Its the same one I started tapering earlier this year. As side effects go, they really aren't that bad, but I'm getting fed up with the restlessness that I get from taking it and I'm ready and willing to taper it down, so I'm going to do that as well. I definitely won't be done by the end of the month, but hopefully will be before the end of the year.
Those are the main things going on this month. It's going to be a lot of work, and its quite stressful, but I finally feel like I'm doing something with my life, and that's worth the stress.
I think its worth adding that once I get my shop up and running (again, probably after the new year), I think that I'll start posting behind the scenes stuff from that on here, which will hopefully give me some more content that people might want to see.
I hope everyone has a very good and spooky month.
Love always,
Sam
