You Write the Headline This Time

[float_on_alright]

I sort of tripped. It was like a roll of my ankle or a turn of it which is super unfortunate because it was the same damned ankle I was whining about just last night. Of course, the good news is if I decide to go back to the doctor I can say, “yeah I turned it again…” I know that sounds crazy probably, but sometimes I feel like doctors don’t listen to me when I say “something is still wrong.” Especially since it’s been so long since I injured it originally. Now if I go back to the doctor, I sound less like a hypochondriac. Not that I have plans to go to the doctor outside of my physical early next year, but it might help me get another type of test or examination--one I haven’t had yet. Because I still swear that something isn’t quite right. Even before the roll this evening.

Onto other whining things that I’ve whined about a hundred times before but that I need to hash out some more.

I don’t know if I’m going to make my final word count for the year. I still have about a week left to make it and it isn’t impossible, but it’s definitely going to be tough and I feel like I’ve been having a rough time with motivation and concentration. I never thought I’d say this, but I think I may need to remove Solitaire from my phone. I feel like I’ve become increasing addicted to the game recently. I’ve been playing it almost as compulsively as I’ve played Pokemon. I’ve also been continuing with my Pokemon obsession. Plus, I’ve been in one of my “scroll endless through Facebook!” modes again which is such a problem. Not only does it suck all my time into a meaningless vortex of pointless posts and dumb memes, it also damages my creativity and focus. Which is already pretty low. It’s an absolute waste. Which means I may have to erase Facebook off my phone. Again.

I wish that I could use it in moderation without deleting it all time, but so far I’ve had a hell of a lot of trouble doing that. My writing is suffering for it. So is my reading. I haven’t read nearly so much since I started playing Pokemon Go again either, but I’m not ready to give that up. I’m just going to have to find a way to better balance all the things I want and need to do. Especially with school starting in two weeks!
