Dear Diary,
Nurture your loved ones, STACY, and feel free to escape into a fantasy world with the object of your desire tonight. Construct your wildest fantasy in your mind and make plans to set this dream into motion. Let your imagination lead the way. You will never get where you really want to go until you start heading in that direction. Have confidence that you can turn your dreams into a reality. Do not waste another day doing things that don't contribute to your long-term plans.
To be honest, I wasn't going to write in here today because I wasn't really feeling up to it. However when I checked my email and read my horoscope for the, I just felt like I had to. I love the message that was left for me. So that is the reason why I am writing. Plus I figure I have all day to waste some time so I might as well do something productive. I came down to Kitchener yesterday afternoon after mom got home from work because she said she would drive me as long as I gave her gas money so I got in here around 5:00pm. The ride down was rather quite with mom asking me the odd question to get information out of me on this thing or that. Greg's appointment at the optomatrist went ok I guess. Apparently he has eye virus and the lady gave him some drops to put in his eyes. His eyes were still quite red this morning however I didn't think to ask him how they actually felt or if they were still pretty painful. Hopefully things will be ok today as he had to take part of the day of yesterday to get checked out and make sure that things were alright. I'm looking forward to being here for the week. I had work orinentation on Monday and we were out early. Sarah offered to give me a ride home since were were done two hours earlier then what had been planned since everyone has been through Safe Start and WHIMIS before so we all knew what to expect and what was going to take place so they cut things quite short. I found out that this year I will be working in the same department as my mom. It's called the Press Department and according to this other guy that was in my orinentation, he worked there last year and is returning to that department this year and said that it was very easy work. I hope so. I also figure that things shouldn't be too bad as mom is a ver different person at work and put's on her "relaxed non-pyscho" personality around the people that she works with. Plus, I also found out that I got a $2.00 raise so I'm now going to be making $12.00 an hour instead of the $10.00 that I was making last year in the summer for my first year. So I have a few more weeks off before I actually start since I won't be until the 30th. That's alright though as it gives me some time to work on the awards and scholarships that I am going to be applying to. Other then that, things have been alright. This weekend coming up is the long weekend. I don't know if Greg and I are going to be doing anything. I know that Greg wants to get beer for the weekend since we're practially going to have the place to ourselves as his dad is working for the whole weekend. Greg had also mentioned something about asking Jojo if she was up to going to see a movie with us either this weekend or within the next couple of weeks. I guess that we'll have to work something out soon though so we know when we have access to the van and time to ourselves. On another note, I still haven't got a hold of Alicia. I'm not sure why she isn't picking up. I mean, I've called enough times that she's had to have been home at least one of thoughs times and I've left messages to remind her that I'm back at my parents house now so when I do phone the number that appears will be my parents phone number. I don't know what to think anymore. Hopefully she is ok and nothing has happend since the last time we talked. I'll likely try and give her another call later on today as I'm back in Kitchener and she may recall the phone number for here. We'll see. I'm not doing a whole lot today. I might do a small workout. I told Greg that I was thinking of taking the dog for a walk in the forest but I know that he worries about me being in there alone as some terrible things have happend in there in the past. I am also planning to have a shower and get ready and doing some writing and work on the awards and scholarships. I started the beginning of my book that I have been wanting to start for a few years now and it seems to be going ok for the few sentences that I have wrote down. Hopefully I can build quite a lot on it and get more done. I've been thinking about getting a website up and started too by asking girls to write in to me with their own life story and what they have been through. Maybe Greg can help me out with it and we'll be able to get a great site up and running in no time. I'll have to mention it to him at some point when he isn't quite as busy with work and programming for Doug. I'm looking forward to things moving forward now with my writing though. I'm just hoping that I can stick with it and keep the writing constant and finally produce something that comes out really great in the end of things. Anyways, I should be on my way here and get some of this stuff done that I would like to while everyone is out of the house. Mike is the only one home and he is actually still sleeping so it's nice and quite around here. Oh, and I made muffins first thing this morning when I got home. Take care everyone.
*love always stacy*
