Help is Appreciated

Got to cook for Jake’s parents for the first time today. At first Jake’s mom was just going to have a taste of the Mediterranean salmon that I was cooking, but after she had one bite she started giving me a lot of very nice compliments and she had a whole helping, and even got the recipe from me. That felt really good.

Before that, though, I went to sign the lease for the house, which felt really good. I had been kind of feeling bad because I felt like I was abandoning Chuck until I told him about it and he told me something that really hurt and not feel bad about moving out at all.

Before that, I got a first aide kit for my car since Pattie told me that I should. She’s awesome, her mom is a nurse and she knows lots of cool things. She even linked me to a website with a complete list of things to put in a first aide kit. Some days I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. Was I not fully prepared for life out on my own? On days like that, Pattie is one of the ones who helps me out and gives me the okay or helps me figure out what to do. She talked about a first aide kit like I simply should have had it without even thinking about it.
