Fainted, Salsa Festival and Writing

 Well, I am now 0 Days without incident. I fainted again. It was one of those things where it happened so fast, I didn't have time to get on the ground. I hit my head, but the bruise is small compared to my right wrist, which I must have whacked on my way down to the ground. We might go to a Salsa Festival in Oxnard with some people from the commune. They're going on a trip so it might be too soon for them to go to the festival. I don't know if Emory wants to make that drive all the way down there, but I think it could be fun. We have a place to stay. We have the beach house that the commune owns. We can always go down and stay with them the night and go to the festival in the morning.  Emory had an interview for a really good job AND he got offered a position from the company he already does a temp job for. Temporary was nice for a while, but the problem is that it's not permanent so the work isn't steady.  I did go to the emergency room (ER) because I wasn't f...

Chilly Night at the Beach and Writing Update

 We went to Redondo for the weekend! It was so much fun though a lot cooler than down here in the valley. We brought shorts for the weekend, but ended up having to wear jeans because ***burrrrr*** cold, folks! We ended up walking the beach at night, which we hadn't done in the past, probably because it has been a LOT colder, than it was this particular time. There were so many people and that made it really fun. I love to people watch. So much happens at night. So many interesting people.  We did a Mojito flight: which had watermelon, mango chili, original and blueberry. They were so freaking good, but I ended up getting a blueberry mojito at full size and Emory got himself a drink, since we both shared the flight. I felt pretty good after that. Mr. M (at the Port commune) makes killer faux-mojitos because they have all this mint growing wild down their hill. I thought I'd be drinking everyone's because Sue and Emory are not big on mint, but they drank their drinks just fin...

Date Night with No Selfie Stick and Writing

We had such a great date night! I love that there are so many things to do out here, but we chose a place that was 100% selfie-mode and we took over 99 photos of ourselves just chilling. The place little light / selfie place was about 1 mile from Long Beach so we didn't dress for the cool night weather. Completely forgot how cold it gets by the beach. The drive wasn't too bad (roughly about an hour to get there). We got there early and went for dinner Korean BBQ (tofu - please and thank you) and we walked around the mall for a little bit waiting for the sunset so we could enjoy the lights in these event.  Emory taught me how to stand AFTER we were done for the night.😆 I told him he always looks so good in photos and I look a little awkward. He taught me how actors stand and well, I stand so weird.  Writing Update: Commissioned work: 3/? chapters written. Editing chapter 3 as we speak.  Werewolf: on hold until I can figure out what's the holdup on the story front. I can...
