Escaping to the Mountains
So I haven't posted in a while... I'm reasonably sure that no one is heartbroken over that. Had a lot on my mind lately, lots to deal with, and not too much time to veg in front of the computer screen. How bizarre. To make a long story short, my new roommate decided to up and leave town after writing me a bad check for our first month's rent. Did not bother to call or even leave me a note. I had to hear the news from her mother. Apparently she's been having some personal problems, and her way of solving them is by crapping on everyone else. So I have no money and no roommate. Not sure yet what I am going to do. If you see me on the street sleeping in a cardboard box, toss me a blanket, or feed me a hot meal, or something. It would be greatly appreciated.
Well, this weekend has actually been quite a nice little escape from my problems. I came up to North Carolina to see Chris. He played a recital last night, and it was wonderful. I really enjoy hearing him play. He is so expressive, he just pours himself into the music. His technique has gotten so good too, I was really impressed. His tone is gorgeous, like a sweet little bird singing. He makes me so proud of him. :-)
I have been concerned about my brother, Mike, who has been having chronic back problems again. Not sure yet if he will need surgery or not. I hope he is still able to keep up with school; he has been doing so well this year! Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
