It’s so hard to believe I’ve only been here for 23 days. It seems like so much longer.

Kim and I have continued to have great times together. Can you believe she bought me $75 roller skates?! They’re so nice, too. They’re the boot kind, and they’re indoor skates rather than my old outdoor sneaker skates. The boots are white with neon pink wheels. Since I’ve got my schedule pretty much normal, I’m gonna go roller skating this Thursday night.

Next, she’s talking about a new spring jacket. You know me; I never ask, and she won’t take no for an answer, but it feels weird. Only my parents would buy me stuff like that. But then again, Brenda bought stuff here and there till she came into money problems, and I helped her out. I was more than happy to return the favor, but not for crack.

Kim may have gotten a job at the doctor’s office where I went to follow up on my asthma. He gave me a new inhaler, and in between that and the clean, fresh air, my breathing is better. Also, my skin looks and feels better; my hair is growing faster, and my hair always grew like a weed to begin with.

This Earth Day thing has hundreds of people spending many hours cleaning up the Mill River. They wait till I leave to do it.

I spoke with Jenny, who called earlier, and we had a nice chat. Bill hasn’t called back yet, but I’ve spoken with Hank and Nervous and have yet to speak with Jessie, Steve, or Brenda. I’m not sure that I will, but I’ve got to contact Jessie to arrange for her to either bring the bathing suits she borrowed up here or mail them. I don’t know yet when Tammy’s coming up, or when Mom and Dad are.

Oh, almost forgot—I spoke with Andy yesterday, and I played him my newest edits.

I do have more to write about, but I’m in one of my phases where I’m not in the mood to write, so I’ll continue updating later.
