Chapter 6

 

I've been feeling a little listless of late. I don't know why. With the way my life is, I have something that has to get done every single day. Today I woke up a little later than usual. The house is a mess. It's so dusty and I need to sweep it. The laundry basket is needing my attention. I'm looking at that stupid hopper doll thing that Don Lothario gave to me. Just one of those days!

"Die dust bunny!" Why did it feel so good to stomp on that poor thing?

Don comes around occasionally. I know to him "we" are just fun and games. To be honest, I just don't have that much time for fun and games. We've gotten together a few more times but I know a girl who actually loses her heart to Don will find it broken in no time. He's good at what he does, but being in an exclusive relationship isn't one of those things he's good at. I've been backing away from the whole Don thing and feel pretty good about it.

One day I would like to really fall in love and have a family. We're just not on the same page.

So, it's the Romance Festival and I decided to go. It was good to get out of the house and to order food from the vendor. I have been craving Raman for a while now. 

Craving is the correct word I believe. You may notice I've developed some extra weight across my abdomen? It's true.... I'm pregnant! I am so happy and crazy scared all at the same time about this news. I can barely take care of myself. How can I take care of a baby too?

Another reason I wanted to come here is to harvest some of the plants. I had heard there are some great plants for the taking to add to my garden.

I met a few new people. Saw a few familiar faces. It was overall a fun time.

I met a woman whose name is Bernice Robles. She and I hit it off immediately. We talked most of the evening. I know she is married and has at least one child. I really want to get to know her better. I am hoping we can be the best of friends. Every woman needs another woman she is close to.

I left feeling very happy. Things have been a little strange for me of late, so it was good feeling. A new friend. A full belly. New plants for my garden. What more does a girl need?

I'll say good night now on that happy note. Sweet dreams and see you tomorrow!
