There's a storm coming through the U.S. southeast. Lots of tornado warnings and tons of wind west of us so far. For those who don't know, I have a phobia of tornadoes, so I've been watching the radar for days. Our tornado risk is moderate, so it's unlikely that we will get anything deadly. I have a plan, at least, and a tornado shelter, which many others don't.
          	
          	It's looking like the storm may be just a lot of lightning, hail, and wind by the time it hits here. We'll see. If you live in the southeast, please be prepared!

I've lost over 30 followers in the span of a month. What happened? Did a bunch of people delete accounts? I'm not one to care much about my follower count, but I'm just confused lol.

@JenniferFarwell wow, that's a lot. I suppose it was a much needed purge. I see lots of inactive accounts on here

@SamMariLu Wattpad deleted (at minimum) tens of thousands of inactive accounts. I went from 24.8K followers to 8.1K followers, because most people followed me back in 2015-2016 when your profile was featured at the same time as the first time one of your stories was featured (back in the days of genre features and ranks). So a lot of people from those years no longer use WP, it seems.

I went to a trumpet festival this past weekend and bought a new mouthpiece. I was so excited because I'd been wanting one, and I was looking forward to finding my best fit there. I found a great one, and it was only $60, which is a great price for a trumpet mouthpiece. I buy it and I'm happy.
          
          The next morning, I leave the hotel to drive 5 hours back to my college. Once I'm there, I excitedly go to show my boyfriend the mouthpiece, only to not find it. I look everywhere, and it's nowhere to be found. I called the hotel, and they hadn't found anything.
          
          To top it off, that mouthpiece is selling for $120 on average online. My day was ruined. Fingers crossed that it turns up. God works in mysterious ways.

@ReynaBennett I hope so too. I sent them a reference picture, so I'm hopeful. Thank you!

My first new year's resolution: talk to my friends. I feel like I have a lot of people I'm acquainted with and maybe friends with, but I don't text or spend time with them a lot. So I'm going to try to text my friends more often and make more efforts to spend time with them. That includes online friends!!
