For better or worse, I'm only doing the best I can

Last night I had to do inventory at my store until 3 a.m. and I feel totally blanked out. I wonder if there's an emoticon to properly display that feeling. My special friend who I've decided to reveal is a woman named Alice, leaves for Urbana, I'm going to run over there tonight and give her a farewell gift. Otherwise, today I'm on vacation. I intend to enjoy every minute of it. Although my brother has called dibs on the computer today, and if I don't give him his 6-7 hours of World of Warcraft, he'll go a little loopy. But I wanted to write this journal now while I still have the chance. Last night I realized that everyone leaving back to college isn't necesarily a bad thing. Sure they won't be within arms reach. But I can always call them, or talk to them online, or if I get the time, visit Alice as she's off in Urbana. (We already have plans for my birthday on the 27th) I've spent 8 weeks with Alice, and although I came painfully close from time to time. I am sure I kept it from getting into a serious relationship. I know it's the best thing for her to not get to involved with someone right now. Especially me, who can't be there for her all the time. So I guess you could say I'm feeling pretty proud of myself today. Tuesday I had my birthday party, I got a watch from my mom, a 20 EB Games gift card from my brother, a 40 Kohls gift card and a shirt showing a map of Hong Kong with the words "I'm Lost in HONG KONG" printed ont it. I won a bunch of tickets (It's Dave and Busters, not to be confused with Chuck E Cheese
((Or Showbizz Pizza for us oldies)) Well that's all for today. Don't want to give you too much to swallow. Just take it one step at a time.
