Thursday May 29, 2008

     3:47pm  I woke up from a nap. I had woken up earlier this morning with eight hours of sleep. I woke up and I got to work. I cleaned up their whole living room. I even did the dishes and stuff. I did get a hold of Jayme and I talked to her. I still need to talk to her some more. I need to go into town and do some things. I need to figure out how to work my CamelBak. Also, I have to get some stuff I left over at Bryce's. Me and Jayme are finishing it. I don't know. We're supposed to go camping tonight, since everybody bailed last night. Nobody went. They left somewhere, but said they would be right back, so I'm going to wait inside.

     3:52pm  I changed my mind and I took off from the house. I'm walking down Stewart Street. I don't know where I am or if I'm walking the right way to High Street. I think I have to double back and walk back towards Mountaineer Pizza.

     4:38pm  At long last I am on High Street again. I'm going to stop in at the Sew Inn and ask them how much it would cost to restring my Puerto Rico bracelet.

                   At the Sew Inn they told me to go to the Bead Monster.

     4:55pm  I just went in Pathfinders and had an awesome presentation with I think his name is David. He got my CamelBak to work. The little slit in the bite-valve was still sealed. He opened it up and it works beautifully now. Screw water bottles. As the mission evolves.

     5:15pm  Oh yeah, I was telling this guy my story on High Street and up walks Jayme. What a surprise. They asked me if I wanted to go camping and I said no at first. Then I changed my mind and I was actually able to fit my pack in the trunk. I had left Steve's with all my stuff.

     6:12pm  We stopped at the BFS to buy some food and water and stuff. We just drove to the campsite we picked yesterday and set up that everybody bailed out on. Nobody camped, so we came out today.

     10:15pm  Steve, Swann and Lauren took off back into town and Jayme, Sid and I are here at the camp tending the fire. Man, I wish I had a camera so bad. We had a big talk. We had been stressing. I told her that I was still willing to go to D.C. with her like we had originally planed. We wanted to be there by July 11, when The Longest Walk gets there. I told her that after that, I had to go full steam ahead. Everything is understood. I love you, Jayme. Jayme: "I love you too, Victor." We're having a good night.

Next day..
