Today was a good day. I met my mom earlier in the day. It was great seeing her. We got some food and then went to Costco. I’m going to miss being able to see her as often as I do after I move, but it’ll only be a temporary situation. I doubt I’ll be gone for more than a year or two.

I also went to a storytelling event tonight. They were all Brothers Grimm tales. Basically, versions of stories like Rapunzel that were recently translated. It was awesome! I really enjoyed watching the storytellers perform.

I’ve had several nights of rough sleeping. Wednesday and Thursday of this week were the worst. Friday night was not as bad and last night was annoying, but I wasn’t tearing my hair out. I’m hoping to sleep through the night just fine tonight. Last night I tossed and turned for a really long time, but didn’t get out of bed and give up at all. I really think tonight will be the night I sleep the whole night through. I really want that in order.

Tomorrow I am doing a stand up comedy open mic. I am going to perform basically the same set I did in July for an amateur contest. It’s sad, but I haven’t been on stage since then. It’s something I’d like to start doing more frequently, provided I make the time for it. I think it’ll go well. I feel like my material is pretty solid. I definitely should work to tweak it before tomorrow so that it’s closer to 5 minutes and so that certain parts of it are more funny. I’m looking forward to being on stage again and giving that a try.
