i'm considering just going to bed and packing tomorrow morning. hmmm, i wonder if i'd regret that.

its been a good day. i like how most of the people i know live in my neighbourhood – or at least my extended neighbourhood. i could walk to most people's houses within 20 minutes. there are exceptions of course, but more or less its true, and its nice. growing up in suburbia nothing was in walking distance, although... now that i think of it, i'm sure there was plenty of stuff if i'd considered walking outside of my little neighbourhood. pretty much anything beyond collins bay road required a motor vehicle. vinc' and i walked to the artel tonight et back and on the way beckie passed us in her car & stopped to chat. then we saw garry, talked to melinda, irina and jason at the artel, passed rhonda & isaac at second cup and stopped in. then saw amy fisher on the way back. its a grand city, t'is a small world.

well i'm off with the crazy mcknight-olding clan tomorrow. i hope it goes well and we don't end up strangling each other. i hope i get enough "alone time", i hope i'm helpful enough. i have a feeling i slip into "youngest sibling" role when i'm with my family. i've got to learn to pull my own weight and not just let them take care of everything. i hope joelle and i get alone well, sometimes she gets mad at me if i don't let her get her own way, because my mom would let her do anything short of eating fire. i have to admit, i'm determined to show her up, my mom that is. to show her i'm not argumentative and i'm not a jerk. keep in mind, i don't do this for her approval, but to prove her wrong. i've got to say... there's something wrong when you like your kid-in-law more than you like your own kid. that's messed up!

well i'm hot and tired. i wonder if i should pack tonight. nah, what use it is? i can't pack everything anyways. i'm gonna have to make a stop at some store to buy a pool noodle. i love pool noodles, i just float around enjoying the water. i bought one last year for a dollar 99, but i must have left it under the stairs at pine street.

its so beautiful outside right now. i was just sitting outside on my balcony. the air is so still that it feels empty. you can't even feel it on your skin. its beautiful...

oooh, i'm excited about camping!

the future is no place to place your better days.
