Ugh. Seriously, I had this nice post typed out, and something happened to it so it was deleted. :cry:

I’m trying not to be so discouraged about what’s been happening lately, but it’s been hard. No surprise there. How can you be happy when you have problems putting your clothes on or taking a shower?

I told my piano teacher what’s been happening lately, so that’s a burden lifted off my shoulders. Throughout this whole ordeal, I don’t want to come off as lazy. :sweat: My dad assured me that people don’t know me for being lazy, but at the same time, you just never know how people are going to think about you.

My dad recently signed me up to become a Barnes & Noble member, so I feel all special and official. :veryhappy: It’s just a card, and I hardly go to Barnes & Noble; but I feel all special knowing I’m the only one in my family who has one. I neglected to mention that I finished the 12 book challenge a few weeks ago. :angel: I’m so proud of myself for doing it. Actually committing to something that takes a year to complete.

Despite everything that’s been going on, I’m really getting into the Christmas spirit, too. :love: I’ve got some presents and Christmas cards filled out… I just hate this cold weather. :tongue:
