Last day of school in the books! 13 days off until ESY. Unfortunately it’s supposed to be raining for most of those days I was hoping to be able to go for walks outside. I’ll still go to the gym, but I prefer walking outside in the fresh air. But I have to get used to going to the gym because when winter rolls around I will no longer be able to walk outside. I must form the habit now. Tomorrow I am dyeing my hair pink! Just on the ends though. Right now it’s a blackish brown. Close to my natural color. I always add a fun color in the summer. Last two years I’ve done blue and purple so pink seems like the next logical step

I’m actually a bit nervous to walk around my neighborhood by myself. RS had to call the police this morning because he saw a guy dressed in all black and a ski mask come out of our neighbor’s backyard. The man went over to someone’s SUV and tried to open the tailgate and the doors. So RS called the police and they said they’d gotten a call last night that someone was walking around looking in people’s windows! This guy hung out in our neighborhood all night. I would have thought by 7am he would have left but I guess he didn’t want to leave empty-handed. The man was arrested thank goodness. Still a little bit anxiety-inducing! I guess when I take walks I’ll be sure to go mid-day and leave one of my headphones out so I can still hear around me. I also sometimes go to the park so I can walk in the shade so that’s a good plan too.

Tonight we’re going out to celebrate CR’s completion of sixth grade with all As and Bs. He did a great job even with me being hospitalized for three weeks in February. Way better than I did in sixth grade! Gosh I did awful. But then, my father had just died the year before and my mother was suffocating with depression so yeah. I’m very proud of him that despite all the trauma he’s suffered in his young life he’s still a cheerful, happy kid with amazing accomplishments!
