excerpts from the past... some catch up

june 19:
I started working with my sisters company and get to work from home most of the days and just go to the office once a week. good thing too since the office is two hours away. It's nice though sometimes cuz i just ride with other people and then take the metro so i get to read or something for a while. It's not a bad life right now and I think I have about 5 friends total now...about 2 that I actually hang out with.

We got a new singles branch closer to my house so I don't have to go an hour to the DC wards. But there's about 40 people in the branch total so it's still kinda lacking. For fathers day today my dad's only wish was for us to go to his concert today, so my sister came down and is going with me. My dad picked up on his drumming again and plays in the city orchestra. He started teaching my brother too, who's pretty dang good for only playing 6 months--but now we get to be constantly surrounded by some kind of drumming...the drum set, congas, practice pad, floor.., couch.... back of a chair... You can imagine how fun that is.

june 23:
My dad lured me downstairs for some quality family tv time. I ended up falling asleep there as usual and just woke up wide awake at 5 am. I don't know what's wrong with me. I always try to use some sort of extended jet lag for an explanation, but everywhere I've been is earlier, which ends up making me seem even stranger. Maybe I'm just meant to have a 9 PM - 3 AM sleeping period... I think it's the medicine....maybe it's backfiring.
