(6pm) I called and talked with Carrie. (She is doing well!) (She is going to build a fence outside to corral the boys in, so she doesn’t have to be on guard constantly. (There is a creek behind their place and roads, and they are into running.)) (She is trying to figure out how to adapt her schedule to fit classes and studying in.)
(9pm) Camilla stopped by. (She wanted to eat, so I went along and sat with her. (Up until the restaurant we talked about Seattle and other mundane stuff, but at the restaurant she started in on her problems with her family.))

(10pm) I finished up the Rhino’s books for July. (I think, now that it’s caught up, that job will only take 10 to 12 hours a month. (Not bad at all!)) (Actually, the pay from that will about cover a trip to Bozeman every month to see Bryan, Carrie and Samantha.)
One negative aspect of seeing Joe is I am feeling older. (Tis weird accepting I have got a kid that old!) (Oh well, it’s far more positive than negative and in the long run is good for me.) (I have kept that problem filed away on the shelf a long time. (I think it has been part of my sadness and has eaten away at me on the unconscious level.))

(Noon) Well, I actually managed to make it to Anaconda for Miranda’s wedding reception. (Amazing!)
I took my camera and took a ton of pictures. (I hope they turn out!)
I felt shitty when I woke up this morning but I am feeling better now. (Probably just a hangover.) (Now I feel guilty about not staying and helping with the cleanup.)
I had a few anxiety attacks but I coped surprisingly well. (Neat!)
I actually danced some. (Fun!)
Gwynn was sure wasted. (When I was leaving I found her wallet lying out in the middle of the parking lot.)
I spent awhile hanging out in the kitchen with the older ladies. (Tis fascinating to listen to their stories!)
I actually hit it off a little with Miranda’s best friend there. (We were leaving alone together, but one of Erica’s cousins invited himself along and immediately started hitting on her.) (She invited both of us to stay at her place, but I decided that three is a crowd and I dropped them off and slept in the truck.) (This morning everyone was surprised I wasn’t at her place. (They all thought that, for sure, I was finally getting lucky. (You would think they would know me by now!)))
(8pm) I am tired!
