"forever God is faithful" |

I'm at home for the weekend and brought my laundry. It costs a dollar for washing and drying at my apt building.
My neighbor across the hall forget her keys in her apartment and when she called the landlord said they don't help with lock outs. They told her to call a locksmith. Sheesh. They wouldn't help me either the times I had locked myself out or forgotten my key in places. That just sucks for her. I hope it didn't cost her too much.

"and let go of regret" |

I waited til 7 last night for someone to pick me up. I finally reached someone on the phone and Deb was like oh no!
There was a cookout at Oakwood Ct. that I missed yesterday. They had totally forgotten me. *laugh* Deb said she put in a reminder for next week.
Stephanie picked me up. I brought along He's Just Not That Into You since I mentioned it to Steph. Stayed up til 10 watching the movie.and saw Gloria arrive. I'm usually in bed by 9.
And Steph made a pizza for me to eat. I just had a sandwhich at home, but was still hungry.
It's so not fun being forgotten!
I'm wearing my new capri and grey tshirt to match. I got the capri at another thrift store.

Walked to Video Magic and return the movie. Renewed He's Not that into you. I put it in the DVD player around 9, but knew I would get tired.
When I returned the movies, I was told I had a free one, so I just renewed the one for free. Stupid me. Anyway, I still have the Fountain to watch.
Now I'm reading Main Street by Sinclair Lewis. the end of Harry Potter wasn't what I expected, but it was good anyway. I got confused at the epilogue. Can't wait to see the movie. Mom and I are waiting for the movie to go to Oak Park Theater.

Found everything I needed at K-Mart. Then went to Budget Music & Video. I bought a Sublime cd. I don't know what happened to my previous one. Then got groceries. Ran into Sheryl at the grocery store. She said she saw my mom somewhere but didn't want to holler not knowing her name. So I told her mon's name.
Almost done with the Harry Potter book. I'm back to my old reading habits. Which is a good thing. Got a lot of books to go through sitting on my shelves.

Had lab this morning. Saw Jackie, she also had lab. It's gloomy outside. And Art had lab. George picked Jackie and I up. He's a nice guy.
Saw Elena's dad while I was waiting in the ER entrance.. He had a cat scan done. I didn't inquire as to what it was for. Both E's parents went to CA to see their newborn grandson. He was born June 3rd, which is also my brother's birthday.
Reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I'm almost done with it. It usually takes a while to read, but I've been reading til I get tired. It's a pretty good read. Can't wait to see the end.

The ice cream social was at the TL. It was too windy and wet after a storm passed by overnight. It didn't last long. Every Friday morning it's the same thing with Janet. She's always getting into arguments with staff. It's hard to not over hear. She's just stubborn and doesn't follow rules.
Staff charts what we do.
We had pizza for dinner last evening. Mmm. It was my turn to set the table and wash the cutting boards. Tried to vacuum my room, but the vacuum is shot.
Mary is going to Garrison to see her ex.
I really need to clean my apartment. And I'm out of space in my journal, need another one.

Woke up bright and early for grocery group. We always go to Wal-mart first. I bought the paperback version of Harry Potter #7. I've been waiting for it. It'll take me a while to read it. Now my shelves are almost full. I'll donate books after I've read them.
Saw Vi and Laurel at Wal-mart. Laurel was waiting for her oil change. Vi just dashed by as she said hi.
Spent 2 hours shopping this morning. I bought groceries but not much.
Now the ice cream social is tomorrow! And it's supposed to be in the 70's. The TL will pick me up on the way. I'll pack my bag and take it since I spend Thursday nights at the TL. Theresa called about it. I told her the TL would pick me up.
It's so nice. Supposed to rain later.

Went to Closet Connection, a thrift store, bought a cute pair of shorts and a tee. The prices are higher than the Salvation Army, but it's still a good store. Garnetta found a denim shirt.
Then we went to the mall. Didn't buy anything except for a book at Barnes & Noble.
Grocery group tomorrow morning.
I went to K-Mart but the lady in front of me was taking so dang long, I just left the store. I'll get paper towels tomorrow at Wal-Mart.
I've been emailing my great aunt. She's such a sweet lady. First time we met her and her husband was in Hawaii. I was 5 or 6 at the time. Good memories.

Stayed up til midnight watching the fireworks at the fairgrounds. It was a pretty good show. The grand finale was awesome. Mom and I went to the bridge, but then I had to use the bathroom. Walked across the street to watch the rest of the show. It was pretty good.

I'm at home for the holiday. Hope to see the fireworks after the races tonight.
Theresa called me to go swimming. She asked if I wanted to go to the mall, so we went. I started having anxiety attack so we left the mall. We were supposed to go swimming too, but then that happened.
I had to eat something too, so I had an Arby melt. Found some things I liked, but I didn't buy anything. Except for a book from Barnes & Noble.
She tried ice cream at Cold stone. She said the cookie dough ice cream was horrible.
The town is quiet. A lot of people go to the lakes.

Connie took me to pay rent today. Ate lunch at the mall. Bought headphones, the ones I had the left ear piece went silent. Bought a yoga dvd. I'm hoping it'll help me learn to relax. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. Now feels like I should.
My bank has fresh cookies everyday. :) Took a sugar cookie this time.
I keep calling Darmaine. No answer. *sigh* Guess that'll be 80 dollars I'll never see again. And she hasn't bothered to call. She probably lied about the landlord thing. Can't believe I lent her money in the first place.
Going back to the TL tonight. Last week we had steak. It'll only be Mary, Janet, Art, Bea, and me tonight. Bea came back from Jamestown. She used to sleep a lot when she came back. Now she's back to herself. She's so nice and such a sweetie. But I'm hardly at the TL. Coming back home tomorrow morning. So I'm only there til noon and back at my apartment.

Last evening was a thunderstorm. It rained hard for about an hour. The 6th St underpass was flooded. A cop car was there to block traffic. I saw a truck try to make it but he reversed and turned around.
It was nice to listen to the rain. It's always had a calming effect on me. We may get more rain today. It's cloudy like how it is before a storm.

Darmaine has suspiciously hasn't called. Guess I'll have to confront her and get my money back.
Called Connie to help me pay rent next Thursday before the holiday. North Central isn't open on Friday the 3rd. Hopefully my money will be deposited on Thursday.
At my bank, there's usually a table of cookies. I took two chocolate chip cookies. The second one for Garnetta.
My ride from work didn't show up til 3:30 after I signed out at 3. I hate waiting. Bought a purple dish, I'll use it for candy. I found a January Angel. I'll get it next time. Mom said I should just shop for clothes at the Salvation Army. I'd like to see the Closet Connection.

I hope Darmaine pays me back. I should call her about that.
I have way too many clothes. I'm going to go through my closet and drawers and sort them into winter or summer clothes. That'll take a while.
It's funny listening to my mom speak her native tongue. She just went outside to sit on the stoop so she doesn't bother my dad.
Met with Garnetta. Bought a bunch of stuff at Wal-mart. The sandals I wanted :)

I'm so stupid. I buy sandals that weren't what I wanted. sigh. I'll check Wal-mart to see if they have the sandals I want.
Mom chewed me out for taking cabs to the mall. She said to ask them for a ride if I want to go somewhere. Mom just said if I go return it in a cab she'll be angry. I guess I can wait til I meet with Garnetta to get the things I want to get done.
I just get bored sitting at home and go to the mall occasionally. I've barely spent much money this month.
Ran into E at Barnes & Noble yesterday. She said I probably hate her. I don't at all. She's just been busy. She said she'd like to go walking and I told her I usually walk in teh evenings so I'll email her and see if it's something she wants to do. I've missed her. She looked good and her mom is so nice. E's brother had a baby boy born June 3rd, my brother's birthday.
It was great to see her.

Meeting with Garnetta at 9 this morning has totally thrown me off. I keep thinking it should be later. Went to Wal-mart and bought Levi's and a belt.
Going back to the TL tonight then back home tomorrow morning. They're leaving early to go on a road trip. I hate that I miss out on everything.
Darmaine's been calling. Harping on me to get a job. She just doesn't understand my situation.
