A letter from Nov 23, 2024

Dear FutureMe, I am realizing I may be getting ahead of myself. I wrote that I found out about the most vulnerable space being the bathroom. I quickly started getting my gears in order as I looked at my bedroom, knowing it is next. I started one load of laundry of clothes in order to get my hamper clear. Then I thought, I might as well do the sheets and comforter. It's time. Might as well throw Charlie's blankets in there at the end. However, just as I was about to put my sheets into the washing machine, the power in the building went out. My first frustration was the wet clothes I already had in the washing machine. It is a community washing machine, so the front facing washer's lock. However, I had no clue what would happen if there was a power outrage as my wet clothes sat for who knows how long. I decided that it was the universe telling me to take a step back. I am still at the bathroom phase. I should only write about what I know, and give myself grace as I work up to the bedroom. I needed to slow down. I have work to do. Mainly for my externship. I plan to get that done today as well as listen to lectures for my business organizations class. I hate that class, as I find it incredibly boring. But I need to get at least a C+ in order to be an attorney. I have very little wiggle room for error in my plan, because of my own doing in life. So, I need to listen to the lectures. I don't know how much longer the world will continue on like this, where I prioritize my life in this way. But I figured I would write until it changes. There is still a population of people who believe the world will look like how it did in 2001 or 2004. People smiling, going to clubs and restaurants, birthday adventures, and vacations. Who knows how much time we have left. But I want to be organize as much as I can, as I separate the world's chaos from my own.
