Yeah, I should update more often.

So I thought I'd update on what's been happening in my life.

First, I've been sick. This summer has not been all that great for me, health-wise. After my back finally got better, I started having sugar problems. I'd start feeling sick and dizzy and when I checked my sugar, it'd be super low. So I had to chug down lots of orange juice and pop. And then it started getting better, just in time for me to get a cold. And then from this cold I got vertigo, which was pretty bad. I could barely walk properly some days because the room was literally moving. Vertigo is worse than dizziness, because it doesn't just feel like the room is spinning a little, I actually see it move and I can't get it to stop moving. Yesterday it was actually really bad, but today has been really good, so I'm hoping that it's on it's way out.

As for work, I still haven't found anything yet. No one loves me, apparently.

I went to Sauble with my mom, Gaby, Ela, and Mike the other day. Thankfully it was one of my good vertigo days, so I was able to function. Sauble was good. I love the water there. And I got a nice tan. We're planning to go again, I think the weekend of the 15th. We might stay overnight, too, but I'm not sure yet.

And then there's my book. Obviously I had to put it off for a bit, since I really wasn't feeling well. Also, for some reason I decided to make a super detailed plot outline and then write to that, which of course imimidiately gave me writer's block. And then I thought about it and I realized that I never write like that. I kinda just start writing from the beginning, and keep going until I finish. With no outline, and really only a basic idea of where I want it to go. Some of the best ones that I've written are the ones that I didn't even really think about at first, just sat and wrote. Sometimes I don't know how it's going to end until I'm actually writing the end. So I think I kinda planned myself into a corner, as weird as that sounds. So I'm gonna throw out anything besides my basic plot idea and basic background work, and of course my lovely map, and start writing again. Just see where it goes, I guess. So hopefully it'll go better this time.

Anyways, that's it for my quick update.
Bye bye for now.
