drivin and smilin

Thursday I saw Jed. He was doing very good. He also looked much better and more mature. Maybe he just grew up. Anyway, he told me he had gotten his prison papers and that his early release date is Nov 2012. 50% of his sentence. That made me feel so good. I am not going to count on it, but he can apply for an early release on that date. he seemed pretty up-beat too. He said his heartburn went away finally. and oh yeah, next visit may be a contact visit from now on. That is the best news ever. We had a very good hour. and I was smiling all the way home. I got home and said, wow, how did I get here? it went that fast. I did do some checking and most likely he will not get out in 2012, but probably the year after, especially if he does alot of work there. So he is already starting. Wants me to find out how much more he needs at college for his associates. and he will work towards getting his degree while in jail. That made me feel good too. Lauren is on that track as well. So maybe I can have some peace once she is out and he is out. Peace in my life, that is all I want.

And with that, my goal right now… lose another 20lbs. Do it by riding my bike. Goal of loss and riding? a bike tour. Maybe a short 3 day one, in Maine, next September. Yeah. Camping. We’ll see. Just have to get on the bike first. Oh yeah.

And, so… life is getting better. uh-huh.
