Morning all. Happy Wednesday! I got nothing here. I am getting sicker and sicker with no relief and I am getting further and further behind on schoolwork. I have been working steadily, but even if I was feeling 100% I think I would be struggling to stay afloat.

QOTD: What decade were you the trendiest? Definitely the 80s for me. I was all about the neons, shoulder pads, leg warmers, etc. So cool, lol.

Accountability yesterday was...meh. I had a bunch of small snacks instead of meals, then Grim harvested the potatoes (yay!) so I had (too many) air fried potatoes for dinner. I know I should plan better today but I just can't even... I just don't feel like eating anything that resembles real food, so if I am honest I will probably do what I did yesterday and have babybel cheeses, pop-corners, and lots of coffee.

Good mornin QJB, please get checked out at an urgent care or some medical facility! I hope you do get better soon.

Not much planned here. I've been up since 11 so this promises to be a long day due to just that. We do have the kids today but we may end up going over to their house if the crappy neighbor continues her streak which I bet she will. We are about to get more rain. Yay. I wish I could truck it up north! I have a bit of a headache and have had it for a few days now. I think it's a mix of all the rain(hello mold!) and the drug making across the street. I wish that house would do a magic trick and go poof!

I got some great news yesterday! Social Security is upping my SSI benefits to the tune of 304 dollars extra. This will help so very very much as I struggle. I'll be able to pay some of the bills and help more with the car payment when my mom might need it. That was a much needed shot in the arm.

QOTD: I never fit in. Being so tall so young I usually had to wear some men's tall stuff(I was 6 foot by 6th grade). I was tortured for all of it. Now I dress for comfort. I wish I could wear more trendy things but being long waisted makes it hard!

food is terribly unplanned.

Hope you have a good day today. Getting away from the neighbors sounds like a good plan.

That's a nice jump. Congratulations. The inflation is really high and I know many people on SS really suffer financially.

Great news on the SSI.

My SIL is 6'1" and loves every inch of her height. She even wears high heels when she dresses up. Finding jeans can be a challenge. She use to wear Levi 501s (trendy and long length) but now can find jeans in longer lengths. I know the Maurices carries longs. So does the Buckle and many of the western brands like Wrangler.

I love my height now. In school it made me a target for bullies.

my inseam is 32" so most of my height is in my waist. I love tha high waisted trend! Shirts are the hardest. I'm 6'1" as well!
