plans

I just finished reading the comment an anonymous person had left by my last post. I sure would like to know who wrote it. It really touched me. So, Thank you, to that person.

It's Easter Sunday today. My first Easter not to spend with my parents and sisters. As I hear it Shardae isn't going to be home for Easter either. It's hard on my mom. She feels like she only has one child at home now. Anyways, happy Easter everyone.

I'm settling in more and more here. Even though not all my days are exciting and full, it are good days just for being here. I'm thinking about getting a volunteer job here. Just for one or two days a week to keep myself busy when Rhi and Cale are working. And to meet some new people and such. Sort of get a life started for myself here. That would be great. I can't believe I've been in the states for 4 weeks already. It's even harder to believe that I don't feel homesick at all. I'm dreading the day I have to leave here already. But it's better not think about that too much. That would only ruin my trip, thinking about the end. I always wanted to learn to just live one day at a time. And I'm starting to learn it. I don't have every day planned out in detail anymore. Most of the time I don't even know what I'm going to be doing the next day. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm going to do the next hour. But it's all good. I was to planned, you know. Having lists of everything that needed to be done, time schedules for every day. I'd even schedule a day of leisure. Go figure... Right now, I can honestly say that I'm being lazy. And I haven't had a real chance to be lazy for a while. So it's all good. Just this week though. Next week, so starting tomorrow, I'm going to start jogging every morning. This time for real. And I'm going to start my diet. I'm going to write poems again and get my scrapbook organized.

Well, I wasn't that lazy yesterday night. I did shopping, made my dinner, washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen and washed Niko, the dog. How fun was that. I had to pick up the dog and put her under the shower. She struggled for a little bit but then just stood there. Unwilling to move at all and looked all sad like: Just get it over with. I thought the poor dog would be mad at me. But as soon as I dried her of she was really hyper and all she wanted to do was play and be pet. Cute dog, and white again instead of grey.

Right now Rhi, Cale and I just got back from Breakfast and grocery shopping. Rhi is getting ready for work and Cale is watching TV. We had plans to go to a BBQ today, but it's raining outside and we don't know if we could get a ride back home after we get there. See, I'm not aloud to drive because I don't have my license. Cale's not aloud to drive because his license was pulled for a full year. So Rhi's the one driving us around the whole time. Wish I were aloud to drive. It would make it so much easier. But even if I had my license, I'd need a California one and not my Dutch one and I'd need (expensive) insurance. Doesn't really seem worth it. I mean, I have a bike here and all...

Maybe I'll go jogging now. It's not raining that hard. Just a little drizzle and I could use the exercise. I'm getting fat... With all the Mexican food here, how can you not gain weight, haha.
