(9pm) Erica stopped by and we went out to dinner and then to the Rhino for a couple drinks. (Neat!)
I don’t know if I will ever buy chicken again. (I am burned out on it, and too lazy to try a different way of cooking it.)

(5pm) TGIF!
I got the credit report and they say it will be ’94 before my marriage debts will drop off the report. (What a drag!)

(1am) I went down to the Hat for a couple sets. (Great music and girl watching!) (It will take time to get used to going out again, but I was happy and I enjoyed myself.)
I have noticed that I keep thinking, "I am old enough to be her father." (Oh well!)
I didn’t dance or write any more poems, but it was a step in the right direction.
Tis nice having some extra money!
(3pm) I picked up Miranda and Joey’s wedding present.
(11pm) I thought about walking downtown but I am pretty sleepy. (Getting old I guess.)

(11am) Carrie called. (She is going to be in Miles City August 10th through 20th.) (It sounds like the twins are getting wilder. (She says they run away when she calls them, so taking them outside is a real chore.)) (She says the shots they give her are making her even tireder.) (She is going to take four classes at the university this fall.) (She suggested I offer to share an apartment with Joe. (I am not ready to take that big a risk, and I can’t afford to take on the costs of another person now.))
(8pm) It has been a quiet day of reading and tv.
Getting away from numbers and computers for a couple days has been great!

(7am) I remembered a dream. (I was bicycling on the interstate. A tire shredded, so I stopped at a truck stop. They had a bike shop that was open in the middle of the nite. I asked for a new tire and tube, because mine was just scraps of rubber; but he said he could fix it. (?) (I suppose biking on the interstate could symbolize my choice of a slow quiet life in a fast noisy world.)-(Repairing the shredded tire instead of replacing it probably refers to repairing my relationships with my kids.))
