Well, I technically still have Vocal if I stick to my paper projects.

I also have photoshop, patreon, youtube, and healthy wage... though i doubt that exists right now since the mail service is lacking.

I woke up with a raging headache so I took some autism meds to combat that.

Unfortunately i can't count the many calls I've made today towards any time.

But it is ok.

Nagi

Yea that is a snake. I am still trying to adhere to my rules, because well, there has to be some rules in order for anything to work.

If you go completely off the deep end, you die.

I get disconnected physically from the ether at certain places, just black out. It isn't even drugs or alcohol... it is the etheric field.

Maybe it is what happened with someone else a long time ago. Perhaps he got sick instead of blacking out. Unfortunately I can't control how that affects me.

Me neither

It happened in the car once, the driver had no idea what to do.

It also happened when I was in bed.

No it isn't epilepsy, it is like unplugging a computer. Maybe I did die with him, but I don't think he was trying to kill me.

He used sign language with me, I used sign language with him.

Cry/sad

Yes or No?

Now I am reminded of him:

Ethanol / Methanol

Burn very cleanly

Produce mostly CO₂ + water vapor

Flame can be hard to see in daylight

Used in things like lab burners and fuel stoves

Mm yes. I know we knew each other right away.

My father is in pain, but I can't do anything about this because, my mom is in power right now. I don't have enough to combat that.

Ya, I guess when you take someone's name it works both ways, it isn't ownership it is partnership.

But yes, because those are used on documents, the things are owned. So.. eventually those are the parts you can keep.

I guess it is some Daddy and Daughter bonding time to fuck up your car and steal the keys.

He went alone...

Well.. I am not saying anything about that any further.

I have another possible editor but I am pleased with the current one I have.

I told him not to read the articles, he did not. I am pleased.

Again the T bitch is bothering me since she has dyscalculia or something.

She can go speak with Travis. He has the same problem.

I guess I paid because I am better looking than all the people there.

They are fucking ugly.

Well, that is none of my concern anymore.

I need to continue to finish this story. Then I have two more jobs after this.

One I can't even do today because my check didn't come in the mail. So.. I guess I won't worry about that one yet.

I'm very feel.

Mom said The T bitch was trying to help, but I don't see it.

Dad agrees with me, he said she needed to fuck off.

No way, I misread it.. mom also doesn't think she'll help.

Mom thinks I worked enough, dad says I have to keep going.

I am sorry but I agree with him, it isn't that late yet.

I also noticed I pushed vacuuming for like 7+ days. That requires a lot of moving shit off the floor

I know it is the same as when grandma swept dirt floors but, it is not always about whether something is physically clean, sometimes you need it to be organized or spiritually cleansed. I think that is why he focused on that.

But I can see how a child would be annoyed with that sort of thing.

Every skill is just practice.

Yea you can be born with a predisposition to any skill: bigger build, smarter brain, artistic talents... but if you don't keep using them, they get lost so, what that all was about was that those skills could be ingrained in your system enough to survive short term memory loss, so even when you can't remember anything, your body knows what to do and you have the right instincts to act.

Lol, I remember someone saying that I thought they were dumb enough to accidentally drink poison or something... well yes, he is. He does it all the time.

So yes, when he was with me, I tried to keep him from his stupid actions. He thought I was stupid as well, probably because I am not skilled in the same way he is but, yea he is more of a doctor if I am a nurse.

Even if we both know medicine, one is front end, other is back end.

I am really hungry, and I don't have anything that naturally has zinc in it. Last time I did that, I ordered lamb.

Top Zinc-Rich Meats (per 100 g cooked)

Beef (especially chuck or short ribs)4–8 mg One of the richest and most bioavailable sources

Lamb 4–7 mg Especially lamb shoulder and leg

Pork (lean cuts) 2–4 mg Moderate source

Chicken (dark meat) 1–3 mg Thighs/drumsticks have more than breast

Turkey (dark meat) 2–3 mg Slightly lower than chicken thighs

I don't enjoy eating it but, I also know when I need to for my body not to shut down... well that's a lie, i do enjoy it but I also recognize that this is a valuable product.

He also hates when I order it. But I mean, he never taught me any alternative so...

Oysters are far higher in zinc than any meat (~16–30 mg per 100 g), but among land animals, beef and lamb dominate.

Zinc content can vary by cut and preparation (e.g., braised vs. grilled).

Red meat zinc is highly bioavailable, meaning your body absorbs it efficiently.

Yea but they are expensive...

Mom says I need to shop more local, dad said I can get what I want...
