I have not been eating very well recently. Since I have to rely on the bus for transport at the moment, I have held off going to the grocery store mostly because I do not have the energy (grocery shopping is draining enough, add on a 60 minute round trip bus ride). It has been a little over 2 weeks now since I went to the grocery store, and I am eating through my inventory. It hasn't been too bad, but I find myself snacking more rather than eating meals, and getting junk food on campus before going home to snack on. My physical activity has also decreased. Some days I do not leave the apartment, and generally just sit on my bed. When I am on campus and do have some activity, I seem to get wore out easier. We're definitely heading into the 'dead' of winter, and that has a lot to do with food and activity. I was more active last winter though, even walking in the local cemetery a few nights a week. I haven't reached a point where I feel compelled to force myself to eat okay and go on walks again, but I know my health is in a crap phase right now.
Nothing has happened with the truck yet. Again, dealing with it requires energy that I do not have a lot of. I ordered a replacement tail light for the passenger side which was busted out, at least that repair I can do on my own. I learned a bit about different car parts and I think if I can get the parts myself, I would rather pay someone labor to put them on instead of letting a body shop do everything and up-charging for parts. But first, I need to go to the store and get some duct tape to make initial 'repairs' ha ha (taping the valance to the front bumper on the driver's side especially). After I get the replacement light, I will decide what to do with the flat tire. I am going to try and see if insurance will count a tow to the tire place as something my roadside insurance will cover, though just having to use it a month ago I am unsure if they will allow that (though the flat happening is not related to the accident). Worth a try. If that doesn't work, a friend has an air compressor and I will try to fill the tire and drive it to the tire place. And if that fails, I will have to pay for a tow myself. Once the flat is fixed, however that happens, and I duct tape certain parts, I will probably drive the truck again regularly. The only other problem that needs to be fixed asap is one of the back window panels is broken. It is not completely smashed off, but I wouldn't trust it to keep rain out. The big dent on the driver's side will have to stay. Likely I will go to a trusted shop and have them give the truck a good look-through to see if there are any other damages that absolutely need repair.
