I'm doing 30 things
The ‘New’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain just arrived in the mail today- I ordered it from ebay. I also got the workbook to go with it. Looks like it will be a valuable and fun tool to get me back into drawing and improve my creativity!

How I did it
It made me
proud & lonely! 
How I did it: Technically, I moved out of my grandparents' rather than my parents' house. I think they are happy to have their space & it makes me happy to make them happy. I also enjoy having space that I can arrange as I please. It is also nice not to feel the need to explain why I am in my 30's and still live with family. But I miss them.

I had 15 days not smoking and then 4 days ago I flipped out and bought a pack. I smoked for 3 days. But I have not had one today. I really, really, really want to quit, but its sooooooo hard!! I’ve been going back and forth for a long time now. Maybe this time it will stick.

I think I might actually do this- woo hoo!
