Sean was online picking out dorms for the fall semester at Penn State. He’ll be a junior and will be at University Park campus in the middle of PA about 3-4 hours from here. Gulp-a college ‘junior’ already! I can’t fathom it. He had to sign up for Chemistry this semester as he would be below the 60 credits he needs to transfer. He has to get up at the crack of dawn, but home by 1 pm. He’ll have to take a couple of classes this summer. I had a feeling taking a few semesters of only 4 classes would catch up with him. His stomach has been a little funny tonight. Guess he has a lot to think about.

I went down to my mom’s today. I tried to fix the belt on her fairly new vacuum, but it broke again. The brush part is broken-one of the ends of it was missing. I went to a vacuum store around the corner from her and they wanted $25 for a brush. I told them I could get a new one, an entire vacuum for $30-35 at Walmart-so there! We dropped off stuff at the Goodwill and went inside to look around. Mom is not allowed to buy clothes (in my presence anyway, but she better cut it out). I found a few little things for Easter and eBay. When we were leaving, I noticed a lady had bought something I dropped off, a pinball machine of Sean’s. It’s not everyday you see who acquires your discarded items. I have a little surprise for one of my online pals and will mail it to her soon. It’s a Goodwill find and I know she’ll like it. I’m not telling.We went to the nearby mall and had a nice pasta dinner and shopped in Macy’s as I had some credit on a gift card. Mom went and bought a top behind my back when I was undies shopping (no short task)-she’s bad!
