And so on....

Morgan's a hoot. He gave me this Venus Sailor costume because he knew Stephen would flip over it. Well...he did. Got his mind off him working on the Infinity and back on me for a while. Good to know I can still break his concentration now and then. He's finally done with it now and we drove it over to Morgan's yesterday for his party. It was a surprise. Morgan didn't know he was getting it back then and stars, did he flip over it. It was good to see Stephen looking so happy that he could help his friend. I was so proud of him.

Last night's party was good. I was relaxed there. I mean, Leigh is a vampire now and though I'm not exactly comfortable with it, I trust her just like I trust Angelin. Still, it's not natural and I wish it hadn't happened to them. It's funny, I never used to think like that, but lately, it's like I see the some of what the purists are trying to say.

Like the other night, I met this guy. In the field, we might have raised our weapons to eachother, because he's a purist and in their military. Because we were both out socially, we managed to talk about things rationally and alot of what he said made sense. I told him about where I come from and he told me that I was alot like most of them. Brought up the same way. Have the same values. He says I need to hold myself up to a higher standard and acknowledge that the reason why the ways of my ancestors have held up so long is because they are condoned by the higher beings and I shouldn't bury my roots. He says I'm not a Harada no matter what papers say. He also said the reason my...Don ..and I don't see eye to eye sometimes is because he can never understand me. Not because he doesn't want to, it's just that he can't because of what he is. Same with Syd. He confirmed what I was already thinking anyway, that once their baby is born, I'll be forgotten. It's probably why Don doesn't want me teaching at Northedge. They were trying all along to get pregnant and he probably wants their baby to join them in the family business. Blood is thicker and all that. Alot of what he says makes sense.

I'm worried about going back to serve if my kidney heals. I don't have my heart in it anymore, but actually, that might not be a problem. I went to the doctor again and he doesn't see much hope in me keeping my right kidney. He's going to try new meds and give it a few more weeks. He's got me on some kind of steriods and they do a number on my moods, not to mention my appetite. I'm ravenous sometimes. I hope I don't gain weight. I hope I it saves my kidney.

I've got to go. I'm riding today, it's so nice out. OH! But the best news is, Stephen wants to move out too. We're going to put down money on that lot across and one down from Seamus's. Morgan's got his place there too. We'll have really cool block parties!

Later, Keeper!
