angelakI am here at my parents as of now. I will write this here on my laptop and post it at home. Steve and James are working more on the Rocky-pack. It has become quite a project and I am sure it will be very convenient once it is constructed nicely.
I went ice-skating today. Not as long as I usually go for. So, I finally saw the Everett ice arena. It’s nice. Slightly different than the Lynwood Ice arena. I miss the Lynwood ice arena because it reminds me so much of the days leading to my full time employment at the city. I used to go ice-skating every Wednesday morning with Jill. This was before she got ice skating lessons and it was before she started dating Jeff.
But, I can get used to the Everett arena with the membership. It’s up in April, but still that gives me two or three months worth of Mondays to decide whether I want to make ice-skating once a week part of my schedule. I do think I should give it a shot. But I know if I do, I’ll need to be getting new worthwhile skates, blade guards and soakers. I wanted to do this last year anyway and I never did.
I have really crappy skates anyway, but they were very inexpensive and when I bought them, they were a ton better than the skate rentals and they saved me lots of money. Now I find they don’t grip and have no edge anymore. I do want to improve on my backwards and forward crossovers. They are still there after all the time, but I feel like they are sloppier than they were when I last was able to skating.
Hm. So anyway. We also are beginning to make plans for a trip to the ocean – Westport [our vacation] at the end of April. My parents will be celebrating their 25th anniversary, and Steve and I will be celebrating in July our 4 year anniversary of dating. We’re planning on going together. It sounds like a lot of fun. I have budgeted time off and we are now beginning to plan. It was mom’s random idea to do this, and it sounds like we will. I just hope it isn’t too costly. We’ll see where that goes. I also am excited for February. I will either pay off the Camaro or be nearly there. I have half of the cash for that in the bank now. The question is, will I amass the cash this month? We’ll see, I’ll be at least making a large payment at the end of this month, and then I will work from there. Then, my next goal will be the Eclipse. I am owing less and less on that car by the month :D Yeay.
The week will be busy. Energy work was rescheduled to Thursday with Cheryl and Bobby. I was looking forward to it to be on Tuesday, but if we can get more headway done, I will gladly switch to Thursday.
My urges and aching to go hiking grow as the time passes on, and the plans are made. I am dragging people with me, too. This will be a kickass summer.
I called Mel’s cell and left a message. This is another move towards forging communication between those friends of the past. I want to regain that part of my life. I will do it. This is now my new goal. I will even forge friendship with Travis, if need be. I do think this is a number one source of fear, is Travis. I need to resolve this, period. Perhaps the pain is not merely Kelsi like I keep telling myself.
I also miss Mel. I denied that in the past, but there is a special place in my heart for her too. Not just Kelsi. And Kelsi is not my only truly close friend. I will put out the effort. I am inspired by my newly acquired close friends, and I feel that if I should fall in the process of regaining these high school friends of old – these friends will be the ones to catch me and bring me back from any sadness that may seep into my heart. I believe in these friendships enough.
I am eager to forge Stephen Dudelove again… I miss him.
Anyway. Laptop died. Here I am at home. There goes my post!
