Enjoying the sounds of a ticking clock and humming computers...
I started running again on Sunday. I hadn't kept up with it over the winter. I'm hoping to make it through the trail by the end of the summer. At this point I can do about a quarter of a mile before needing to rest. But that's not terrible since it is kind of hilly. Makes it difficult, but I prefer running outside to running on the treadmill. I have a schedule this summer that I am going to stick to. Mixing it up with hikes through Wachusett and Purgatory will be a good way to keep entertained.
I finished my finals. So I am done my first year of college. I am taking Summer 1 off and depending on how well I can accomplish learning this math on my own I might take a bio class in Summer 2.
I'd like to get to VT for a weekend and stay with Hannah and Ray and hang out with them at their new place.
Going to be a fun summer. Cookouts at Mom and Adam's house. Motorcycle rides...
:)
Pretty pumped about things.
ALSO
Been listening a lot to Toh Kay and Jenny Owen Youngs. Have that Alkaline Trio concert in two weeks. Hanson in august, Gaslight in September...
Not exactly the intense Summer Of Music that was last year but still a respectable amount of shows going on this year (considering I've already gone to a few)
Last weekend we went to Boston for the Red Sox game and hung out with Mo for a bit. He was in town for the Drop Kick Murphy's benefit concert. So that was fun, I can't wait to spend a week in Cali with him and Lindsay.
Work has been weird. Scott's benefit went really well, but now the Doctor's have stopped treatment to see if he can gain some weight and strength. It's been almost a year since we first found out he was sick. I remember he came to my moms surprise party and was waiting to find out if it was cancer or not. That was in early July.
I think everyone is just kind of waiting to find out what's going to happen next. We can only hope. I'm terrified to see the ramifications of him not being around anymore. He's kind of the back bone of the salon. Such a huge part of all our lives.
Can't start thinking like that or going down that road. Not yet. He's still fighting. That's all you can ask for, one day at a time.
