Addressed

September 9th-10th

   Yesterday I worked a long, boring, and monotonous day, today was a little different.
today I woke up tired, my cramps came back around breakfast and I couldn't stand.  So I called today off, went to my room, and slept.  I slept from around eight ti'll three-thirty.  I needed this in many ways. WhenI woke up I had a new energy, I cleaned my room, I washed, folded, and put away my laundry, I copied my letters to update my letter journal, I addressed Becky, Bethany, and Venson's letters,  I cleaned the living room and dining room, and I put some pages from that journal book everyone added to at my graduation all around my walls.  For supper we had sheperd's pie which was a first for me but so, so good. Oh, I almost forgot; Joe, a long term independent stopped by today and said his goodbye's.... Joe was like a Grandpa to me. In many ways he's just like my grandpa, kind, caring, tough on the outside, rough on the edges, and perfect inside.  I'm gonna miss him a lot, he was one of those guys who you looked forward to seeing everyday just because he smiled and had something good to say.  Anyhow after supper our houses (Johnson & Floyd) met and discussed the joining of our communities and what that means. I look forward to seeing a couple more faces around everyday and filling this place with yet a few more amazing people.
