OCTOBER - Jessica is turning 18 in a few weeks. I don't even remember turning 18. Of course, I had a little baby boy and was busy with his life. She is pretty excited about it. She has threaten to leave but I don't know what she will do. It is up to her. I also have a friend who will be 29 for the ninth year. Happy Birthday, to you both!

Paul has been so good to me these last few days. He has taken great care of me and has not let me just mope around. The pain pills did not agree with me and I know that is why I felt so bad Thursday and Friday. He made me get up on Saturday and I have been doing pretty good every since. I think I will be able to walk with just a cane. Or at least I hope the Dr. tells me that this afternoon. Then I won't have to depend on help for everything. Jimmy and Jess have helped out also! When Paul would be at work they would hang around.

Jimmy is here today because they are on fall break until Wednesday, so that should keep me occupied. He got his mid-terms in and they weren't all they should be. I don't know why he isn't working to his potential. Jessica and I are on fall break until next Monday. She is helping Jeff unpack.

I watched August Rush on Saturday night. I really enjoyed that movie. Even when you aren't with people, a common bond can still connect you. I have felt that over the years with my family and friends. Today I watched, Educating Little Tree , that movie made me cry like a baby.

I am getting really bored with TV so I guess it is time to pick up the books. My first one to read is, The Last Lecture, By Randy Pausch. After that, I have a few books that I got at Goodwill during the half price sale a couple of weeks ago.

My germ phobia kicks in when I think about reading used books or books from the library. It is really just gross. You don't know what other people do or touch when they are reading books or where they read them! They could have fixed chicken for supper and after touching the raw meat they never washed their hands. Or worse, and I think this is what really bothers me the most, what if, just what if they took them in the bathroom with them! That is just too much grossness!
