How are you today? It has been such a long time since i have written anything to you, and I am so sorry, but the month has been really busy because I have been substituting for people in the office, and I have been trying to have more fun in the social scene, which I have accomplished.<\/p>\n<p>During the month of February, I have done so many things that I hardly know where to begin. First, I had a visit from Steven again. he was last in stockholm in september or october and it was a real treat to see him again. We were able to hang out and catch up on a lot. He was doing generally well and he made me really happy to come and visit him again.<\/p>\n<p>After Steve left, I also was hanging out with my good friends Markus and Tomas. And I also met Rain from Finland and he was amazingly cool. I let him stay at my flat when he was in Stockholm and he returned the favor when I went back to Finland.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, I also went home to get some of my things so that they could be shipped to Sweden. While I was at home I stayed with my sister&#8217;s place and did a lot of work. I also surprised my mom with a visit to her office and took her out to lunch. I also got to visit with Cara while I was in town. I tried to visit with Jason, but he was out of town. I literally had so much to do that I couldn&#8217;t even visit all of my family and i could not visit all of my closest friends either. But I have a gfeeling that I will have many more surprise trips home. I just need to do a better job of managing my visits home because if I give a lot of warning, then I have to go and try and visit too many people and everyone gets disappointed because I don&#8217;t have the ability to spend quality time with them.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, on 01 March 2003, I also had another endeavour, which was to begin the &#8220;Rodney Improvement project&#8221;, which after I talked to Markus, we renamed it to &#8220;Beach 2003&#8221;. Our collective goal is to get in shape to be comfortable at the beach by June. However, the we have been off to quite a slow start, as we have eating nothing but junk and fatty food, and drank loads of alcohol since the task began. But I am confident that we will succeed mostly because I have no choice. And with Tomas as inspiration, i am sure that I will continue to lose more weight. but we will see how it goes.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I have to go now, but it was a whole lot of fun to write. I promise to try and write on a weekly basis. Take care jounral.<\/p>\n<p>Love, Rodney<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2003-03-02 &#8211; 20:48 &#8220;The Month in Review, Part II&#8221; or &#8220;I Must Inform the Public of my Comings and Goings&#8221; 02 March 2003 Hello dear journal!
