Besides still being unemployed, life is good. I have been working my ass off at these houses, have a snuggly bunny to come home too at night when she used to be affectionately called the demon rabbit, a family that though dysfunctional is functional in its own way. I have also developed a slight tan after burning the crap out of my skin yesterday sitting on the boat for four hours. Okay, dunking Ian and swimming for about two hours and relaxing on the boat for another two. I have reconnected with an old friend who I haven't really talked to in two years, and who yelled at me for slacking on my Harry Potter knowledge. And I do not mean the movies.
Needless to say, I am now reading all of the books over, and am about to start watching them all again, just because I miss when Hermoines hair was crimped, back combed, crimped again and fluffy, and when Harry had the cutest voice. I miss when they were little, but then again, when the movies and books came out, I was too. I was just a little kid with her own dream to go to Hogwarts, to have a school that I could not wait to get back too. Well, now I am a big kid(hell, when I was small I thought twenty was when you were so old that you were withered and decrepit), who though still waiting on my owl with my acceptance letter to Hogwarts( there is a 9 and a half inch willow wand with phoenix feather waiting on me to give it a wave), I have that school I can't wait to get back to at the end of the summer, and I am proud of that fact. I hope my sister can find one like I have. Just not mine, because, well, Chatham is mine.
But I know I am needed here, if only for three months, and life is good. I am happy, pitching and batting a lot, fielding not so much because no one really can hit to me until my other dad can get back from work and he has been on late shift lately. My sister and I have kind of been getting along, and I am getting stuff ready to move back in in two months. First, I have to find a way to get a hold of some fabric I have been wanting to make my blanket cover, and a fridge, and get over the fact that my room is going to be smaller than the former office. And then I just have to relax, and move in, well after our family vacation to denver of course, but that is another story for another time. Yes, I am annoyed that we are not going to Jamaica like originally planned, but instead to repay my fathers bet on the Dolphins beating the Bronco's in a superbowl. Yes, it was really long ago.
Here is to the rest of the summer!
