Word of the Day: tawdry It's kind of sad that I haven't written in, what, a long time? I can't even do the math without a calendar. That's pretty sad. I've gotten really mixed reactions when telling people about my recent developments. Most people are like, 'What? No, really, what?' Some people are really happy about it. It's kind of funny sometimes. When I went to the hospital for my Medicaid appointment, the girl in the cashier's office freaked out. She was all like, 'I saw you and your boyfriend at Taco Bell the other day, and I asked my husband if we were ever in love like that. It's so sweet...' and she went on for a couple of minutes about that. I was all like, 'Whoa, friend, wha'happened?' That was really funny, I had a good laugh about that when I told JD. But it's going to be great--I'm getting a baby shower at the hotel and at Hobby Lobby, though I might not be able to be there for it. I said that was fine as long as JD brought me home some food. We finally got another bookshelf and I was able to take my books out of JD's trunk and put them in a place. They're all ordered and stuff, I have all my Lit Trad books in order from I to IV [excluding III since they're all in Rome]. I've assimilated well, so far. I'm keeping the room relatively picked up compared to before, and that's all I really need to do. I miss being at home, though, in my bedroom with all the things that comfort me. I keep thinking of things I forgot, things that would make me feel more comfortable. Mommy came to visit me today, to bring me mail and things. I was mighty surprised, to tell the truth. Come to find out, Betty's mine and the camera's mine. What? Indeed, they're mine to take, which I will when I go visit. Mommy said that Daddy didn't think I'd ever go home, but that's just silly. I'm scared of going back, but that doesn't mean I won't ever. I can't think of doing that. Those people are my parents, and as mad as they are at me and as much as I've slighted them, I can't stay away forever. Just until I get my nerve up and pick a day to go over there. That's been the hardest thing so far. Missing home.
