Dear Diary,

I have been busy. My project at work drags on. It is a “thorn in my side,” as my dad would say. I know that only I can remove this thorn, though. So I am trying to remain chipper. I had my first swimming lesson yesterday and it was erally fun. We just did gliding and a little kicking but I had a really good time. I am looking forward to tomorrow’s lesson. The walk is a little long… about 15 blocks, half of which are up Queen Anne hill. ;P Less than two months…
