Saturday to-do list

10/24/2015

Things going on at my house seem to have a life all on their own if you know what I mean. I'm a hobby sugar glider breeder, full time college student, blogger, vlogger, aspiring model, photographer, and a future author. So many things going on at once, right? I love having so many projects going on at once because I'm never bored but lately I can't seem to get my ass in gear to get things done. That's so bad too in my opinion because how can I be a role model when I'm procrastinating all the time? So I have decided to make a list of everything that I need to do here so maybe things will get done on a half way decent time table.
These are only a few things that I need to get done possibly before New Years. I don't know how many of these that I'll get done but hopefully a lot of them.
  1. Finish up my English course
  2. Add up supplies for the next semester
  3. Order locket supplies
  4. Do some vlogs for YouTube
  5. Add up glider cage supplies
  6. Work on glider book
  7. Work on accident book
  8. Mix up glider food
  9. Figure out all website and advertising prices on all websites
  10. Figure of business name to get business license

Bucket list

​There are so many things that I want to do in my life, I have a bucket list that grows every single day. The thing is I'm only twenty so I have so much time to do each and every one of those items listed. So why do I rush myself sometimes? I guess because I feel older than I really am. I've listed my top 26 things I want to do at the end of this post just to share it with all of my readers. I didn't list them in any type of order. I have so much to be grateful for in my life but I want so much more. I'm lucky to be alive considering my accident so I hold that close to my heart. 

1.    Let go of this hurt and resentment I feel 
2.    Become a mom
3.    Become a model
4.    Become a photographer 
5.    Learn to drive
6.    Finish my book
7.    Write down all the short stories in my head
8.    Surf
9.    Fall in love 
10.    Travel around the United States sharing my story
11.    Become a inspirational or motivational speaker
12.    Become famous 
13.    Become able to use a manual wheelchair 
14.    Learn to transfer myself
15.    Finish my graphic design degree
16.    Become more confident with myself 
17.    Inspire people
18.    Get married

Sad times

Things have been completely horrible, I lost Zoey Sunday and her little boy too. My heart hurts so bad when I think of her but I know I'll see her again. I am so mad at myself for not checking on her when I came home from church. I loved her so much and will never foreget her. She's with Clyde now playing together waiting to see her momma again. I'm crying as I'm typing so I have to change subjects.
Tonight I've started a side writing project that may never really turn out to be anything.

Mosaic joey

We had a male mosaic, our first actually, come out of pouch on September 30, 2015. His eyes opened on October 4, 2015 but he still does not have a name. He needs to have a great name but I'm not sure what to call him. I was thinking about naming him Charming from Once Upon A Time or Keegan. I'm hoping that his personality will give me more help. 
I'm needing some space from blogging due to writers block. I was hoping if I gave myself a break it would help but it's not working. So here I am to give writing a shot to cure my writers block. I've been writing on my sugar glider book a little but I've been swamped with essay after essay for my English Composition course. I can tell you I cannot wait until this course is over so that I can get to the fun courses.

So I started reading this book and I'd recommend it to just about anyone no matter if you believe in God. This lady went through many things and came out on the other side still trusting God has a plan for her life. I want to read many more inspirational stories like hers so that I can share them with you. I'm not finished yet but I'll keep you updated on how it's going.
