The Marching Band
i LOVE walking by the marching band when they are out practicing. its like i have my own personal theme music as i'm walking home. it always makes me smile. i've seen Josh twice now. i try not to distract him. i love instrumental music...
anyway, in the life of Robyn, i'm doing well. i have two pills left for my strep even though the symptom was gone after the second day of meds. i had to miss two rehearsals but they got by without me.
school is going well. i'm passing which is good news. i'm having insecurities though with my spanish class. i'm just not excelling as i wanted to so it brings down my confidence a little. thankfully i have Andrew to remind me that things are going to be ok, no matter what.
as for my "holiday" weekend. i skipped out on two parties so i could visit my brother. Lame? possibly. but as i see it, i see most of these people every day, i get to see my brother on random weekends. Ted is a cool guy, and i miss him. it was his 22 birthday this last weekend, and he was doing a show. good times. i also got to help my nefew "carve" his first pumpkin. this means that my sister and i helped him gut the pumpkin and then he got to choose what we carved into it. we had a lot of fun.
mom and i got the keys to our new place yesterday, so we went to take a closer look at it. tomorrow we are doing an inspection to write down all of the crap that the previous people left there. for example, a hole from the front doornob covered by a door stop that is stuck there with duct tape. believe me though, the place isn't as bad as it sounds.
rehearsals have been fun. its not stressful at all which makes me happy. it might be next week, but i somehow doubt it. although i must say we need to be quiet in the greenroom. ESPECIALLY Joey. someone needs to tell him how the greenroom works. i would, but i'm already doing the motherly thing by telling him to calm down most of the time. kids...
i stopped my counseling appointments. i feel that i'm well adjusted now to be able to handle my own problems. it feels nice being back where i belong. and i even grew a little from it. i can't carry the world on my shoulders so to speak. i guess, what i needed to learn was that no matter how much other people my need you (or use you), you still need to focus on number one on occasion, so you can still help others. taking time for myself and not worrying about others really let me see what was wrong with me. and i'm glad.
so i guess i'm saying, i'm back, and marching to my own beat. :) i love life!
