I love this week! Enjoyed the process of creating a grocery store, fleshing out Ayyla's latest thoughts and making a few props. (Page 4 is being re-done) I hope you all enjoy.
ALSO, this is a Q&A week! Ask questions in the comments section below and Ayyla will answer some in a future journal!

I thought after my growth spurt in spring I’d have more time until the next one, but I’ve hit 11 feet after all. I predicted it, sure, but growing a little more than one and a half inches is always a surprise! I tower over these food aisles now; Beats does the shopping for us both while I’m here for the moral and physical support. In our hometown grocery store I’m something of a common sight, bi-weekly trips help keep our kitchen cheaply stocked and me fed.

Can you guys picture that though? This giant has to eat ten pounds of food per meal. I drink a gallon of milk each day, another gallon of water to stay hydrated and lately I’ll snack on fruits and vegetables whole. Don’t even get me started on cereal, a whole box is barely breakfast to me now. I feel like if I’ve adapted to anything the most, it’s that these quantities don’t faze me. Oh, I should also share that I’m accepting questions for the latest Q&A.

After paying, I slowly follow Beats home. It’s my birth month so I’ll be turning 26 and fall is in full swing. No birthday bash planned this year, might just have some cake at my Mom’s. We had our fill of partying at Grandma’s last month so this is just a nice break before Christmas celebrations. Beats and I love our home by the way, we’ve been in it for about a year and a half at this point. There’s some floor damage where I walk often but you have to expect there’s nothing to be done about that.

Here you all are, a height measure. Eleven feet on the nose, I’m going to have to set up a light so that my head isn’t in the dark when I’m near the rafters. You laugh, but by now we all know that I’ll make it there someday soon. To wrap up this week I’ll show you nerds how I’ve been weighing myself. I know it’s not the best method out there but it gives us a good estimate and should last for a few years. …I hope.

Lucky me to have a girlfriend like Beats, right? She found a movie prop chair online that’s made of steel and is twice the size of a normal one. I should be able to use it for a long time, it’s durable frame holding even my 1680lbs. We weigh the chair and then I sit in the chair, subtracting its weight. I guess you’d have to subtract Beatrice’s weight in this instance too, but trust me when I say I wouldn’t subtract her from anything. I love her and she loves me back. I hope you all have a great autumn, I’ve got groceries to put away.
