I'm really missing my friends. I'll have to meet some people here quick! It would be so easy for me just to settle into this house and become super depressed; I'm already on my way.

Good thing Ez is coming next week. We'll have my mom's car and the place to ourselves! Woo hoo!!! Maybe my arm will be strong enough to go bowling. I haven't tried for over a year and a half. It's due time I got back.

My mom put me in charge of planning dinner. I kind of like it. The vegetarian cookbooks are out and I'm on the prowl. It's nice not having to worry about buying food and eating. If we need food, we go to the grocery store and buy it! I always felt that I had to eat so cheaply when I was on my own.

I guess my mom found a counselor for me to check out. I don't know why I'm so hesitant. It's probably because I haven't had such good luck in the past and I'm already so far in debt from doctor bills. The chiropractor gave us a quote today and I honestly don't know how we're going to pay for it. Life is too damn expensive and at the rate I'm going, I'll never have any money in the bank. Oh well, I'm a musician, we're supposed to be poor, right?

I should try to get some sleep. Tomorrow I want to get a lot done. I really need to start practicing for my Port Townsend Jazz Workshop audition. I found out that a good friend (and excellent bassist) from back home is auditioning, so hopefully both of us make it & we can spend some time together. I'd love to have a friend there that isn't 16!

I hope everyone is feeling well. I miss you. All of you (well, maybe not you! ha!).

Love,
Heather
