I really like writing. I enjoy rereading and refining my thoughts. I also like taking a brain dump every day. Today, I went to Kroger, where I hadn't been for a while. I saw Kathy, the checkout lady who had gotten married. She gave me a hug, and we talked about how life had changed. That was a special part of my day. I need physical contact just like everyone else.

Tonight, I talked to Jocelyn on the phone, and we discussed the boys and how everyone is doing. Jocelyn is my friend from U of I. What good times I had there! I loved college. It was kind of like now. You are stuck there for four years, so you really learn how to enjoy the present. Apparently, older people enjoy the present more because the future is limited. You don't know how much time you have left, so you focus on the time you have. I feel that. I am happier in my life than I have ever been before. I love my job. I love working from home.

I remember when I had the septic tank cleaned, and the guy said his wife taught English online. I thought that I wanted to do that too. And I am doing it! Jill Render was the one who gave me the idea. I sent her a Christmas card and told her I missed her and gave her my phone number. I hope she gets in touch. I kind of feel like she doesn't like me anymore. I also friended Maureen Naughton. We used to be Facebook friends but are not now for some reason. It makes me paranoid that Evan has been saying bad things about me.

Speaking of Scecina kids, Marlaina got sprayed in the face with mace. A guy came to her car and asked her to roll down her window, and he sprayed her with MACE. Crazy business.

That is all for today! Maybe!
