I returned to my home at around 7:30 last night. I was exhausted, but hearing news of a storm today I had to at least move things out of my trunk as it leaks when it rains. My nephew Payton helped me. He wanted me to hook up my tv and playstation one last night so he could play my dragon game (Spyro). I emptied my trunk and half of my backseat with plans to get the rest in today. That didn't work. I went to sleep at around midnight last night and slept until 2:15 today when someone called me. I'm babysitting on Monday. That's my job for the summer. I'm going to have two babysitting jobs. My plan is to work out getting there and ride my bike whenever possible. It's be good for me and the environment. Plus, it's only about ten miles to either job, most of it is flat so it'd be a nice cardio workout anyway.
I was excited to get home last night and find my books that I had ordered waiting for me. Today I read a few pages from each. I decided to start reading "It's easy being Green: One Student's guide to serving God and Saving the Planet" by Emma Sleeth. Then move onto "You Are Here: Exposing the Vital Link Between What We do and What That Does to Our Planet" by Thomas M. Kostigen. "Simple Prosperity: Finding Real Wealth in a Sustainable Lifestyle" by David Wann. and ""Big Green Purse: Use Your Spending Power to Create a Cleaner, Greener World" by Diane Maceahern. I also bought a book I've already read and loved called "Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly" by my favourite author, Gail Carson Levine. For those who don't know, she wrote Ella Enchanted and yes, the book is a lot different than the movie. I plan to read at least one book each week I am home this summer. That is a total of at least 17 books.
My lower back has been hurting me all day and I'm not completely sure why but it didn't stop me from organizing things in my room. I managed to get through most of the things I brought in last night, however I'm at a loss at to where to place my tv, DVD/VCR player and my gaming systems. This probably comes from having a treadmill in my room now. I'm getting up in the morning and going out with my mother in the morning. I'm going to bed soon, as I've been tired since I woke up just over nine hours ago. I'm watching Sister Act right now and it's over at Midnight. Hopefully tonight I won't have crazy dreams!
