I went to the Anderson's house last night to help Lauren. It was weird being in Josh's house but Lauren was nagging me all day to help her sort out her clothes for school. I think she's nervous about starting high school.

I actually got a chance to talk to her mom for a while. Mrs. Anderson is a career coach and she needs some extra help around the office. She asked me if I'd like to work for her a few days a week after school. I'm so excited - I'll be making some extra money and working for someone that I already know!

She also started talking to me about Josh! She told me that he's staying with his uncle on the Upper East side and that he's having a hard time finding an apartment. She said it's tough getting around up there right now with all of the protestors and he's kind of frustrated. She told me that she wished he would live at home a little longer and commute to school because he only has classes on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I didn't tell her that I wished the same thing.

Even though I didn't want to go to Josh's house, it turned out to be a good night. There's something about that house... it's warm and there's a lot of love there. It's everything my parent's house never was. Aunt Lu's house is like the Anderson's but there's no family there so I think that's what makes the Anderson's house extra special.

Anyway, I'm still missing Josh but I'm starting to feel a little more upbeat. I'm excited about working for his mom.

Well, speaking of work, I need to get ready to head over to the swim club. The snack bar is awaiting my arrival.
