I made it back! Yesterday was a really long day. I was super tired and had to get up to get to the airport. I was totally stressing about getting to the airport on time, which in turn was stressing Ez out, so he decided to get me a taxi. The taxi was $75! I tried to stop him, but he insisted. He is so good to me.

Tuesday night I hung out with Benny. It was so nice. We didn't really do a whole lot. We talked, played with the cats, and watched "Jackie Brown" mostly. I'm always a little nervous when I see him, but everything went so well that I think we'll be cool from now on. The visit was also nice because it was the first time that I didn't want to be with him. Even when I saw him about 10 months ago I was still holding on to the hope that we could get back together. Not this time! I'm finally over Benny Green! Yay! I do care for him deeply and I will always love him as a friend, but only as a friend. Now I looking forward to seeing him again at the end of February. Oh, by the way. . .I'm still his mom's favorite!

Today was great too. I had lunch with my old trombone teacher. He's basically my dad, so it was wonderful to see him again. After lunch I went back to Mt. Hood and stopped into the music department. It was weird not knowing a lot of the people. I was just there last Spring, but there seems like there is a lot of newbies. It was fun surprising everyone; no one knew I was coming.

I spent this afternoon with my friend Margo. I've known Margo since 1st grade I think, and we were close friends through middle school and high school. We haven't been great about keeping in touch the past couple of years, so it was great to find out what she'd been up to and what is going on in her life. I think we'll do better about staying in touch now.

Well, I'm back at my dad's and I think this place makes me an insomniac. It's almost 4 in the morning here and I'm still up. I should really try to sleep so I'm not a bitch tomorrow.

Just two days before I'm back in Eau Claire. Yipee!
