Happy Friday!

Fridays are awesome whether you have plans or not. I don't think I have any plans for the weekend, except that Mom said we should go visit Grandma.

My appointment wasn't as stressful as I'd predicted. When Dr. G came in to talk about my options for an implant, he thought that me wearing the flipper for now would be fine. When my dad mentioned a dental bridge, Dr. G actually winced and said he'd hate to grind down the adjacent teeth for a bridge because they were well-shaped, and a bridge requires maintenance after ten or fifteen years. And I said I didn't want the surgery where they take a piece of bone from the chin and put it in my mouth, because I'm really sick of dental procedures :p So I'm going to keep wearing the flipper for the time being.

And then after Dad's appointment at the family dentist's, we went to the library to pick up me and Mom's stuff and pay our fines. Then Mom and Dad went to Costco, and I started Howl's Moving Castle over again, because I took a break from reading it and lost track of the story.

And today I ate a croissant (Mom and Dad bought a pack of them at Costco) and put towels in the washing machine. I'll try to get some GED work done today.

Costco and chicken wings!!!!!

Yeah, I'm writing another post. And yeah, I'm bored.

We went to Costco today. We didn't get a lot of stuff, but we did get more instant kimchi noodle bowls. Dee-lish! Oh, and we got some baklava, and Mom wanted egg rolls so we got a box of frozen egg rolls, too. She kept saying jokingly, "I don't want them, Sam wants them!" Yeah right, Mom, you know I don't like egg rolls. No offense to people who do, though!

I had an early supper of a Stoffer's frozen macaroni and cheese and some slices of cucumber. Then Dad got hungry and asked me if I was, because he was ordering chicken wings. I wasn't terribly hungry, but I knew that once I smelled the wings I'd be hungry, so I asked for some honey garlic wings. Before my two suppers, I hadn't eaten much - I didn't really eat breakfast until at least noon, if not later. I wasn't hungry in the morning. So I had water. And I swept, as I mentioned earlier. I had a plum afterwards, and later a bowl of tortilla chips with salsa. Then at around five-ish I had the mac n' cheese and cucumber.

I'm sore

I went to cardio kickboxing yesterday afternoon, and man oh MAN am I sore today. George, who was my mentor through my black belt tests, taught the class. He's such an awesome guy.

So my abs are pretty achy today. When we went to the car after going to PetsMart (or is it 'PetSmart'?), Mom and I didn't have a lot of room, so I had to squeeze through the door. Not a very good idea when your abs are sore. So, in the car, I told my mom that I'm no Tomb Raider.

I got a book from Chapters today. It's about the civil rights movement. I might use it as study material for homeschooling. It's got audio CDs, too.

At Costco, Mom and I each got a pack of Sharpies, and we also picked up some pens and a set of two clip-on reading lamps. Cool.

Just a few more hours 'till Dad goes to work! YAY!!!!!!

And, at 6:00, the library's adding the new items to the catalog!
