Pella!

Well, my cousin is graduating from high school on Saturday....or maybe Friday, I'm not 100% sure. So, I'll be leaving Iowa City at around noon on Friday. In case you missed the post title, he's graduating from Pella. I'll probably get back to the apartment late Saturday afternoon/early Saturday evening. Then I'm on lights the next morning. So my dad will probably be at church on Sunday--unless he has to work that day.

On an unrelated note, I have a pair of shorts now. This is the first pair of shorts I've gotten since I started high school--in 1999. I won't wear them in Iowa City until Sunday at the earliest, because I have to wash clothes before I wear them--otherwise, I get really itchy. Stupid sensitive skin. I also have to use those "free" detergents--the ones with no perfumes or dyes--and I'm afraid to try different bath soap. For other reasons, I can't change shampoo brands (last time I did, I had a sneezing fit every time I took a shower) or be around people wearing lots of perfume/cologne (I'll get headaches that make caffeine withdrawal look mild). Stupid weak, sickly earthly body. Anyway, I got the shorts because I plan to be taking long walks on a regular basis. I've taken 2 2-hour walks in the last week, and it gets a little warm in full jeans.

And now it's all dark in the apartment. Maybe I should react to the growing darkness before it gets to the point where I can't see all the way down the hall to the bedrooms. Maybe I should also put an end to this post and do something about the dark.
