No more rain...

Some friends and I are supposed to go out tomorrow night.. we're going to an outdoor concert on the river. Unfortunately, it's raining. A lot.

Last time we tried to go see this band, it was at the same venue.. and the show was rained out. I really wish it would just stop raining.

I've been looking forward to this for the last few days, and if my plans get ruined, I'm going to throw such a fit...

And in other news, in the life of AuDz.. On Sunday afternoon, I'm supposed to go get my stuff from Joe's house, and take him his, and that'll be the end of that.

Worst day of my life...

Well.. today was, without a doubt, the worst day of my life. I broke up with Joe.

We've basically been making each other nothing but miserable for a long time. I want him to be happy, and if us splitting up is what it takes for him to be happy, then so be it.

He'll always have a piece of my heart, though.

I'm watching Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind right now... it seems like such a good idea.

But then again..

I submit, for your reading pleasure, "The Dance", written by Tony Arata, and performed by Garth Brooks.

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end,
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey, who's to say? You know, I might have chanced it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end
The way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

After a long pause...

I have returned.. for a short time.

My Gram will be 79 this year, and isn't in the greatest of health. She cannot live alone. My cousin was living with her, but basically, she fought the law, and the law won, so I've been staying there.

Over the last couple weeks, I've had a few interesting "firsts". I got manure under my nails for the first time. Gram went to Rural King, and came home with two new lilac bushes, and a 40-lb. bag of manure.

I planted a tree for the first time. My cousin and his wife just bought a new house, and they've been redoing the yard, and she brought Gram flowers (yes.. more manure), and an oak sapling.

I rode a riding lawn mower for the first time. My Gram lives on an acre, that's basically nothing but grass. It took a long time...

I got a sunburn for the first time ever.. courtesy of volunteering to cut the grass.

My cousin goes to court on Thursday, so I may or may not find out if I'm coming home, or moving in there officially.

But for the time being, thanks for reading, I'll try to blog more next weekend, if I come home.
