today I used the tool of calling a friend when I needed help

and that friend answered and talked to me and I felt better. Proud of myself for doing that instead of just not saying anything to anyone.

 Ears of corn with my dinner.

Some days it goes easy and today was an easy day. Gotta be thankful

 Yay! While I'm up and posting I should mention that yesterday I went to Richmond and climbed with Erin and finally got lead certified for both climbing and belaying! Hooray! I can do really sport climbing now! Great visit seeing Erin!

meatballs and late night wegmans

 rewatched the movie Meatballs today because it was free on youtube. It has some good parts but overall I don't think it's aged too well. Was still fun to watch it again. I caught it on TV one random summer day when I was in high school and it really struck me. I don't know why exactly.

Anyway I did some late night grocery shopping and really enjoyed it. Everyone was dancing and enjoying the music and when I was checking out this one woman was scanning the items and another woman was bagging and the one woman scanned the bleach and handed it to the other woman and said, "did you know this is really good for you" and then we all riffed on how good bleach is for you and how it can cure almost anything.

One of those days were I was tired all day and now it's midnight and I'm wide awake. oh well.

here's a good principle for life

 when I go to camp tomorrow, there's going to be kids there who are anxious that no one is going to like them or want to talk to them. they're probably dreading going somewhere where they don't know anyone and there's a lot going on and everything is new. If I can make those kids have a good day, then I've done the best thing I could do.
