Good afternoon! Today was a doozy. This morning I made coffee, pressed the ‘on’ button, and then turned my back to eat. Then when I turned back when I was sure it was done, I noticed that I forgot to put a cup to capture the coffee. So I had some cleaning to do this morning. Haha! During my lunch break from studying, I tried to see if I could get Skyrim back up and running with my video card. I cannot. I hit play; a little menu pops up. I hit play on that, and then nothing. Nothing. I don’t have the time to mess with my video card; maybe some updates are needed. I knew Skyrim wouldn’t play cause I had tried it before. But just maybe it would have worked even though I have done nothing to fix the problem.

I’m still having trouble talking. Just communicating with others and saying what is on my mind. The thing is, when I was much younger, before puberty, I talked a lot. My relatives would mention to me how much I was speaking. And I started to feel self-conscious about it. So I stopped talking. It is what the adults wanted. For me to be quieter. But now, others want me to talk more, and I have a hard time doing this! It isn’t just simply saying what is on my mind. I freeze, and my brain blanks out. I choke on my words. As I write, I’m starting to feel anxious about letting things out.

For the last few Thanksgivings, we have had two turkeys. One for Thanksgiving and one for after. I’m going to roast the one for after here in a bit. I’m a little nervous since I have never done this before. And taking the turkey out of the brine will take some muscle work that I’m not known to have. I will need Alex to help me with this. But that is dinner tonight, so I can’t mess this up. I should get ready to do this now. Till next time…
