7/31/12

It was a nice long weekend. I went to the mountains with Gary and his daughter to Redinger Lake. My sister and her boyfriend picked us up at the dock within 20 minutes with the boat, so we didn't have to wait too long. We then went for a boat ride. They had everyone out on the boat. I think it was too many on the boat, but I guess they didn't care. It probably sucked some power from the engine. 


We rode around for awhile and some of the kids tubed behind the boat. Then we headed to the beach. It was hot out. We barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs for lunch and visited and swam. It was around 4:30 when we got out of there. Gary's daughter was wanting to go home for a long time, but we were kind of stranded there at the beach till the food was done and cleaned up. 


Went to Gary's and hung out for the night and then he came over on Sunday. We were going to do something, but we couldn't think of something to do, so we just watched the Olympics on TV. Yesterday he went home and did stuff that he needed to do. I just stayed home and didn't do much. 


Today I'm just hanging out at home. Nothing is going on and Gary is at a doctor appointment for a few hours and then he's going to get the outline of his tattoo done on his leg. Won't be able to see him all day. At least there is text messaging. I don't know how long the tattoo will take. I love being in his company though. He's a great guy. 


I finished my school homework just in the nick of time on Sunday night. I turned it in at 11:45 pm. I had until 11:59 pm to do it. The online is pretty cool, but it's getting harder to do. Not having a teacher in your presence is kind of hard. It helps with someone there to show you what to do. I will just have to do good on my own. I'm determined to get through this. I have to since I'm paying money to go to school. 


I quit smoking and it's really hard to do. I had my last ones on Sunday night. My main thing is I'm bored and I need something to do with my hands. When I'm bored, I usually smoke. Also after I eat or when having alcohol or coffee. Smoking just seems to go along with drinking and eating for me. I crave them when drinking and after eating. 


I will need to do my discussion questions for school today. That shouldn't be too hard. I also need to work on my homework, but probably won't today. I have to do better on doing it early in the week. I haven't even logged onto the school site since Sunday when I turned in last weeks homework. I will get to it before midnight. It takes a lot of thinking to do this school. 


I'm sort of keeping up with MDJ. I'm trying hard. Sometimes I just don't have the energy though. I think I will write in my journal there today also. Helping people gives me such a good feeling. I'm glad I'm a member there with all the other bipolar people. It's a great support group and site. I've made a lot of friends there.
