highlights
- early absentee 2018 ballots came in the mail this month for the 2018 midterms! after careful research and consideration, it's been filled out and awaiting until it's time to drop them off.
- i got back into listening to podcasts again and discovered more great ones worth listening to.
- after 3 weeks of not being able to eat certain foods due to dental extraction and temporary crowns, i finally got permanent crowns and can eat whatever i want again. hello pizza, i've missed you.
- dedicated time and energy to join thelastweekend.org + people power in phone/text banking, postcard writing + mailing, and canvassing with fellow volunteers in my community for progressive candidates to get out the vote for the midterms.
lowlights
- a dear friend of mine got bad health news but i'm praying and supporting her to pull through.
- as if my bank account didn't take a hit enough after my dentist bills last month, my car took even more for maintenance and repairs. whoever said owning cars were fun, lied!
- job rejections/non-follow ups
- flakey friends
- dealing with health insurance issues
- halloween was lackluster this year but at least i had a job interview
- my mental health was at a low this month
