Excerpts From My Diary...

"If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your heart.
And though there may be times when your hands are empty,
your heart is always full, and you can give things out of that."
-- Frances Hodgson Burnett, From A Little Princess

     Wow! I finally got the site back online. Sorry to anyone who was put off by all that. I couldn't figure out WHAT was wrong. It turns out I just needed to disable and then re-enable my FrontPage extensions. Phew! Silly me. That should have been the first thing I tried. Oh, well. Let that be a lesson to me.
     David has some kind of weird sinus infection that has been getting worse over the past week or two. He doesn't take very good care of himself and that is probably why. I went to Whole Foods today and the guy in the herbs section was extremely helpful. He suggested a nasal spray made from grapefruit seed extract and some drops of olive leave extract. David is upstairs now on the couch watching "The Two Towers," poor baby. I baked him a loaf of bread and made dinner, but he just doesn't want to have anything to do with anyone. He gets really cute and grouchy when he's sick.
     My kid brother has been living with us for the last month. We had three spare bedrooms, so he took one. He and his girlfriend haven't been getting along. My mother hates him and he can't stand our father so he really had nowhere else to go. He has thus far, however, proved to be the best roommate I have ever had. I hope it stays that way.
     I had three dreams about my best friend a few nights ago. They were painful and I felt like he really needed me. We haven't seen each other in a while. I cried when I woke up from them and managed to write them down like all my dreams. I tried to call him, but I could never reach him when he was home. I left a few short messages on his machine. "Hey, it's Amber. Call me when you get this message. Bye." I got one from him, but I couldn't understand it. It was short anyway. Probably said the same thing I did. I just got his e-mail a few minutes ago. As it turns out, he had a dream about me a few nights ago, too. He said it woke him up from a deep sleep. 'Said he knew something was wrong. Funny how soulmates work. I sent him an e-mail back with my schedule. I hope he gets in touch with me. I really miss him right now. I don't know how I'm going to stand being away from him in Hawaii. I guess I'll have to get used to it like when he went away to the army for four years. I'll be able to visit him. I didn't die then, I won't die now.
