Wow, today was busy and good.  Taught in the morning, met with a student.  Met my friend R (also a friend from church) and her two kids at the park; we had lunch, hiked, and went to the nature center.  She kept asking "so what's new in your life?"  It's nice to have someone who's interested and doesn't mind me talking.   When I was talking to E on Wednesday, I realized it had been a long time since I'd sat down and talked with anyone... that I'd gotten to just talk about whatever I wanted and share my feelings and thoughts.  R thinks I'm an interesting person... well, I do know a lot of random stuff about a wide variety of topics.

Then met my guy friend... I was so nervous I was shaking, but then I saw his hands were shaking too, so felt a little better.  :)  We communicated through an interesting combination of speech, fingerspelling, ASL (sign language), and texting.  Had a snack and then went to the park.  I'm still not entirely sure what I think (too tired to process?), but I do like him a lot.

I learned 25 new words in ASL today... and saw many more, but those are the ones I remember.  My brain was turning to mush by the end of our three hours together, so much so that I could barely read his fingerspelling.

We'll have to see how many of those I remember tomorrow.  :D  I have a day at home, yay!

Also, I crocheted a scarf/necklace tonight... one of those infinity scarves, like a mini version.  Took me less than an hour.
