The Glorious Day of Fri . . . OFF!

We have today off! Woo-hoo! I love days off.
So Science Olympiad has officially started. Yesterday was the first official practice. I have been researching dutifully, which is more than some people can say. Like one of my partners, who wasn't there and probably FORGOT. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE????? And other people who just spend their time in the computer lab messing around. So anyway.
Today we're going to rest up and go see my grandparents, then swim in their pool. Yesterday me and E and Ian the Great got some hot chocolate downtown (except for Ian, who got ice cream when it was fifty-five degrees out!) and then we went to this new fountain built into the sidewalk that spurts water. E and Ian ran through it. I didn't. I stuck my toe in.
So yeah. And yesterday also my mom and aunt went to see one of my relatives. She just turned 102. So she's really old and we think she might die soon. Maybe even next week because her dad is dead (obviously) and she said, "Next week I think I'll go visit my dad, just to see if he's okay."
My mom said sometimes older people who are going to die say things like that, sometimes even without realizing it.
So sometime I want to go to the library and get some books about jumping so that I know some stuff. Yeah. So that's about it.
I'm glad we had the day off. I slept in until nine and now I feel so rested!
And next week I am going to try out for a play. So wish me luck!
Tip for today and yesterday:
Yesterday: Ask permission first.
Today: I'll tell you at the end of today. Or next time I post or whenever.
