And writing these posts is certainly not the first thing I\’m doing in the morning, in case you notice that the time is not early.

Remarkable just how early in the morning 7:30 can seem… I know that\’s normal for some people, and for some people that\’s sleeping in. But for some people… that\’s early.

I\’ve been doing more work in the shop than usual lately, which is good, because that means I\’m earning money. Yesterday I also did some school, official school. I just have two lessons left to do and I\’m graduated from the twelfth grade. It\’s almost a scary thought to be done.

Speaking of feeling old, my birthday is in forty-nine days. September 26th to be exact. I will be turning eighteen. Walmart gift cards are wonderful. Or in fact, any sort of gift card or even just plain cash is delightful indeed. Yes, I\’m hinting. You are welcome to ignore it if you wish.

Just to make sure I do get to open a lot of presents I\’m planning on (and have already started) buying some presents for myself and when i find the appropriate wrapping paper I shall wrap them up and then I can open up a lot of presents and though I\’ll know what\’s in them, my family (and anybody else who happens to be there at the time) probably will be surprised. My birthday is a very important event to me. I think it will always be that way. And if you should ever hear me say, \”Oh, don\’t get me any presents/don\’t make a big fuss\” you will know that either I have had a dramatic life changing event which has totally warped me from what I was, or I\’m quoting somebody and I don\’t mean it in the slightest, or I just took leave of my senses, or I\’m saying how I won\’t be saying that, as in this case. Definitely, make a big fuss or buy me a present, preferably the later but the former will do if the latter is not forthcoming.

I think this is enough post for the present. Remember \”A friend loveth at all times and a brother was born for adversity\” Proverbs something or other.
