"I'm going to attempt a bowel movement."--Bob.

You could say I'm back to my normal self. After the day's events yesterday, I began to feel much better. Yesterday's hour-plus romp in the ocean with everyone did much to lift me, as it did to marinate me. All of us, throwing each other several feet in the air into the fairly large waves, including my own mom. Great times had by all. By far, this has been the best beach romp for me this summer. A good day off, yesterday. Friends and family pulled me out of my funk, then talking to everyone online and the phone helped that, along with the fact that after several months...I BEAT FF4! (insert maniacal screaming here) Oh, it was a challenge...but the battle seemed to go by quick as I knocked out Zeromus' 133,333 HP with reasonable difficulty.

Today...woke up at 8 AM. Why such an ungodly hour of the morning? Well...I needed to buy my bus tickets for my trip to April, and my stepdad said the only way he'd take me to the bus station to buy them is if I got up early. So...I did. However, it wasn't as bad as it sounded...right after I got them, we went for a morning swim...which woke me up. Nothing like swimming in brine, with all the little minnows swimming around. Now I get ready for work, 9 hours of it. I'll be back around 9:30, with any luck.

Thank you so much to everyone. No wonder I love you all.
