• my birthday party is in 5 days, and my birthday's in 8!! exciting! I just hope the rain stops for my party! (seriously, it seems like August and autumn started simultaneously)
• I had an excellent physio appointment today! I have the nicest physiotherapist ever! I love her! she's so good!!! plus it was the first time I went into a physio appointment with her by myself, because physiotherapists in the past have treated me badly, so I got nervous when I first met her, and I would take dad in with me for appointments, but now I trust her so much that I feel super comfortable going in alone!
• I drove a car today for the first time! I did a three-point turn in an archery shop parking area while dad supervised, and I did well! a bit stamp-y on the brake, but it was my first time! 
• I HAD FOUR BREAD ROLLS AT DINNER I COULDN'T HELP MYSELF they were so good and my stomach didn't complain about me putting food in it for once so I took advantage of it
• I got a bunch of new clothes in yesterday and they all fit perfectly and look cute on me and feel lovely on my skin! it's a miracle! that's never happened before! in the haul, I got a pink raincoat (it's so cute), the comfiest oversized red and white striped shirt, mega comfy red leggings, and a super cute and comfy grey dress! my style can definitely be called "cute and comfy", comfortable clothing is so important to me now
• I got my second writing submission acceptance today! it's actually the piece I submitted first, before my first accepted piece that I submitted second. it's my first poetry acceptance too! I'm really proud of the progress I'm making here! I'm having to readjust how I think about myself, particularly my writing ability, because it's extremely rude to imply that people are wrong/have bad taste if they're accepting my pieces and I'm still shitting on myself for my work, so I'm trying to be nicer to myself and it feels good!
• I keep getting so excited about things I struggle to fall asleep! my mind is racing with joy and I can't switch it off! this goes on until I tire myself out and conk out
