Hi Everyone!
Good morning! I was finally able to get some really good sleep today, I woke up feeling a lot better!
Yesterday I had a very loving day. A day filled with some really good special moments that truly helped to bring the biggest smile to my face. 
I followed through with my morning routine. Consisting of feeding little Miss Expensive kitty, she woke me up yesterday telling me it was time to feed her. That's code for Mamma wake your lazy booty up and come feed me. 
I did my cointiply, which I usually do while writing in my journal. It's a relaxing part of my day where I know I'm putting in effort towards my future while also doing what I love which is writing. Not to mention I had my spotify playlist going. I've been finding it a whole lot of fun to browse different playlists looking for new music lately. 

"Devil Is A Woman" By Cloudy June

The song above is newly dropped, it has quickly become one of my favorite songs to loop on my Spotify playlist, if anyone is interested in my music recommendations I plan on inserting them from time to time. I have a very broad taste in music so I wouldn't plan on them being consistent in terms of genre lol. 
I made some breakfast, luckily didn't burn myself again this morning. Also my burn has been healing up quite nicely. It doesn't even hurt anymore. Took my medicine once I had food in my system. Gotta make sure to do that. I can be a weirdo sometimes and forget. I'm working on that. 
Throughout my morning I picked up a bit around my room. Cleaning up a little bit helps me feel better. I struggle with doing it in the first place. Though I always feel better when my space is tidier. Is anyone else like that?
Did some work on the Mechanical Turk program. Not much work is available when I first wake up usually due to the hour. Though work is available 24/7 on the program, most work is available during typical work hours Monday through Friday. So there are definitely certain times to check into the program if you want to find the most work. 
I checked into Tiktok because I had gotten the notifications that my friend Hayden had sent me some to watch. It's kind of our thing. We send each other videos and react to them. I always enjoy checking into Tiktok the first time during the day and getting to see what Hayden wanted to share with me. 
I spent a lot of time yesterday cuddling with my cat. She's actually currently laying on my knee as I write, covering part of my keyboard lol. She likes to be as close to me as possible. Her favorite places to lay recently other than me have been on my lucky hoodie and randomly a roll of wrapping paper. I truly don't understand this dork sometimes. 
I didn't go for a walk today because I had an appointment with my psychiatrist. It was a very important appointment, it got the ball rolling for us to do some deep work. It felt really nice to talk to her. I've been seeing her since I was sixteen years old. She's been one of those special constants in my life. She always knows just what to say to help me feel better, to get through the hard times I'm going through. She's also a Nurse Practitioner with some of the same health conditions I have. So she always makes sure to check in on my physical health as well, because our physical health does take a toll on our mental wellbeing as well. 
After my appointment I helped my Dad put some groceries away. Talked to my Dad and brother in the kitchen for a bit about what my doctor had said. I find it important to include my family on what's going on with me. 
Called my Mamma to check in on her and my Grandma Rosemary. I got to talk to my Grandma for 45 minutes yesterday. I had the biggest goofiest smile on my face. Hearing my Grandma's voice is one of this world's most special sounds. She's doing much better! She got home from the hospital, her sepsis has been cured and she's managed to start using her walker again. I'm so proud of my Grandma! 
I hope someway I get to see her and my Mamma soon. Because I miss them both so much! But I do make sure to call everyday to talk to them because they're two very special women in my life who've impacted my life greatly in such a positive way. I honestly don't know what I would do without them. 
I talked to my partner Dammie for a bit before I decided to head to bed. It was a simple day in the life of Salem. But it made me so happy too. Hearing my Grandma's voice, being heard by my doctor, spending time with my beautiful expensive kitty. It was warming my heart. Though a very chilled laid back kind of day, it was a very good day. Which is exactly what I've been needing lately. 
My advice for you today is never take anything for granted. You never know how long the good things will last, so it's important to always cherish them while you have them. 
Have a beautiful day today. Go forward and smile. Maybe give a compliment to a stranger. That's one of my favorite things to do! Sending love to you all <3
