Hi! It’s me! Lily!
Your favorite sixteen year old Lily! At least if you’re Jack.
It was a pretty quiet day today. Stayed up a little too late last night but ended up in a girl-pile at a decent time. Woke up to Liz splayed over me like a stretched out cat and Beth with her arm under my nose. At least she doesn’t smell. She does snore. They’re warm, though. I like the warmth.
Of course I worked today, like I do every Sunday. They closed church again for a little while while this run of the virus runs its course, so Sabby made a big breakfast. I didn’t eat too much, but I couldn’t say no to a couple of chocolate pancakes. It’s been nice outside, a little cloudy but a little cool, so my runs have been… cold. But that’s the thing about running, you warm up.
I’m looking forward to driving school! YAAAAY!!! Sabby took me out to practice driving again. She found this out of the way place where there aren’t many things to crash into, but I’m okay at it. I’m not the greatest at following curves yet, and I’m not really all that good at paying attention to more than one thing, but as long as too much isn’t thrown at me at once, I’ve got this!
I’m scared to go on a major road, though! So many cars!
I’ve been watching a few of those car repair channels on YouTube too. Sooo complicated! All these modules and wires and coils and complicated stuff that they seem to know about! I asked Dave about it, and he said he’ll teach me if I want, but all I really have to know is, gas makes it go, oil makes it stay going, and everything else we’ll deal with as it comes up. He did give me my own toolkit though! I don’t know what to do with them! There’s long tools, and short tools, and hammery tools, and sockety tools, and all sorts of little bits and bobs that I have no idea what goes where, but he said he’d teach me. He said I don’t have to be an expert mechanic, but no daughter of his is going to turn 18 without knowing how to use a screwdriver or wrench.
It made me all warm inside. Not even kidding.
Anyway, I’m going to bed. Driving school tomorrow! YAAAAY!!! Regular school tomorrow too! BOOOOO!!!
