1. Handwritten Note OCR

Extracted text is:

Today is Thursday, October 30th - But it definitely feels like a Friday. I'm already making a second cup of coffee - and I haven't even finished my first. Do I have a problem?
Sometimes I'll flip through older notes I've taken, and my handwriting is unrecognizable. Perhaps it depends on the type of pen I use? I've tried writing in all caps but it looks so forced and unnatural.
Often times, I'll just take notes on my laptop, but I still seem to gravitate toward pen and paper. Any advice on what to improve? I already feel stressed out looking back at what I've just written - it looks like 3 different people wrote this!!
