Tv show reviews?

Well I guess I need to write about the cool stuff I learn from tv
Star Wars the clone wars s5 Ep.6
"Find courage, hope, patience, trust, confidence, selflessness." -Yoda
These kids, going to die because it's before the Chosen Ones betrayal, but the writing on that episode was so cool. The mind of a child is truly amazing.
The gathering is the Christal search test, where they truly learn something about themselves and conquer their insecurities. 
That's all for now.

Habit building update

Not much going on in terms of conflict, so that's nice, but also doesn't give me as much to write about.
Environment is good, missed The Project church last week because I felt lackadaisical, no real reason there, I guess I did have quite a good sermon for Father's Day so that was nice, still, I should have just gotten off my butt and worked and been productive. Next time though.
Work is good, trying to look into my career future here, researching what sort of wage is expected and how close I compare to my coworkers. Long term plans are the same, education and a future in something that fuels my passion; not sure how far off that will be, though...
Maybe I'll buy eggs & bananas since I'm in a hotel for the week, and there's the nice mini fridge and toaster plus kettle at the sandman.
That's all for now.

Thoughts

Glad I talked with my oldest sister, seems like she's pretty knowledgeable about life and such.
Goona write down my thoughts in point for for posterity:
This is essentially my looking forward letter to Becky & Jackie, for our relationship in the future.
Open with
I'm sorry for the way things happened, I regret that this happened this way 
-Acknowledge my part in the miscommunication that happened
-Confirm that I still love them and they're still family
-Say that I hope to rebuild our relationship in the future
Whenever you feel ready,
-Want to sit down and have a talk, maybe not now since it's pretty recent, but maybe in the future Jana can also facilitate that discussion
-I forgive you for whatever you said that was in the heat of the moment
-Ask for forgivenesses?

The conversation went well, I left a letter for Becky and has a good talk with Jackie, things are pretty good.
That's all for now.

Monday updates?

I'll see if I can make my schedule to update Monday's, that's a good time and consistent with some of my previous ones.
Making a reminder now
That's all for now!

Edit Jun 19/16
I meant to put Tuesday but math is hard

Been a while

Moved into my new place with an awesome Christian family, it's been a while since my last update so here I am.
I need to work on my meal schedule, especially organizing and planning future meals, lunches are getting kinda meh and suppers are similar,
Still pretty salty about the whole situation, I want to do the whole avoid talking for a couple months until everyone simmers down, but obviously life doesn't work that way, so at some point I'll be seeing them, and I'm not sure how that'll go.
I've had a chance to talk with those whose opinions and thoughts I value, and I'm still in the process of thinking through everything that's happened, the what and why of everything. That's going to be a bit of a process, so no super powerful insights just yet.
Goona focus on getting the necessities done at the house, everything else will be done as the priorities are needed.
That's all for now.

¿

Whet motivates me? Where does my reasoning come from? What reinforces my decisions and what makes me reconsider them?
That's been on my mind since I'm in a situation where I've been making decisions that are much farther from my ideal scenario than I would hope.
