I have spent the past two days at my aunt's house dog sitting. Let me tell you, yesterday was an experience. My aunt has not one lab retriever...but two full sized ones. This morning, however, I woke up and they were used to me, so everything is ok now. Dusty, as usual, you were right on that one. I can tell they miss their family though. They sit at the window all day looking out. Its kind of sad.

So if anyone is bored this week and wants to hang out, I am here all the time, just give me a buzz. I can tell already that my credit card is going to take a plunge while I'm here, because all there is around here is shopping. Oh well...I need new clothes.

Oh P.S. Coco (the younger one), knows how to make beds. I was cracking up so hard, when I left the bed unmade in my aunt and uncle's room (where I am sleeping), and when I went back in, she was sitting up in the bed with all the covers pulled over and made. Next stop, toilet training.

Thoughts that cross my mind while on the bus and subway every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday:

How much I wish I was back in high school. Not for all the petty bullshit, but at least for the cameraderie. Sure it lasted four short years, but at least back then I knew I had friends...and if not friends, then social connections. Something which I have very few of lately. I guess that happens as you grow older though. You lose the need to have millions of friends. But I'm lonely, and as much as I love my family, and Dusty, and T, I still miss those days of hanging out backstage at stage crew, and in the band room just talking about anything, everything, and nothing.

Not only do I miss the lack of social connection, but I also miss my drive, and my energy to complete the goals I make for myself. Maybe its because I'm not as involved with music as I was, but I am completely lost. I feel like I have no inspiration, and no motivation to do anything. When I was in sophomore to senior year of high school, I was a do-gooder. I volunteered, I went to Arizona to teach Bible school, and I went to Appalachia. Now, I ignore homeless people who pass me on the street.

Whatever, who cares. I'm just being silly, I guess.
