Well that was a nice surprise. I get back from my church rafting trip with a notice that my account has been upgraded to a permanent one (courtesy of my mom ♥) and of course the first thing I did was upload more icons. Yeah, I've got my priorities straight, but I'm glad I get to use this Hokuto icon. She just doesn't get enough love. ^_^
Rafting was fun, though I think I'm fairly dehydrated since I'm having trouble concentrating and have my head up in the clouds right now. *sips ginger ale* Paddling takes a lot more energy than it looks like. Our guide was pretty nice, and I probably got sunburned despite using sunscreen (that just always seems to happen) and my knees are bruised from falling out of the boat at one point, but I'm content. Tomorrow I know that I'll be feeling the tumble I took, but I don't really care right now.
Next week will be fairly quiet, but considering that we'll be going away the week after next it should work out. My mom's going off on a trip with our minister, so my dad and I will fend for ourselves for a while. I've actually been wanting to try some Japanese recipes, so this might just work out. *cackles evilly* Just need to find some place that sells dashi...
I also need to call my music teacher once I can coherantly string a sentence together (I put this down partially so I would,l remember) and apologize for accidentally standing him up by forgetting that we had a make up lesson today and wasn't able to go there due to the rafting trip. I hate doing that to people, so I might buy him a fruit basket for putting him through that. There was just too much to deal with and it slipped my mind. *sigh* I hate doing that to people since I hold them to such a high standard, so I know how it feels to have someone mess up. Maybe I'll make him some miso soup...
