Bye Sammie!

Ember, Sammie, and I had dinner with Amber and Jer tonight as a kind of final good-bye before Sammie leaves.  We exchanged Christmas presents, and I got a really cool little book cover thing that Amber made from leather. It’s really nice.

Ember’s a little bummed, but I think she’ll be OK this time. It’s not like last time (Ember’s journal entry). I told her not to be a hermit and call if she needed anything.

I walked home from work today because it was warm (in the low 60’s) and let Ember drive the truck back since Sammie had her car. It’s about three miles and it took about fourty-five minutes, so I’m back on my original pace, now I just have to knock it down to ten minutes a mile and I’ll be happy. I figure six miles in an hour is a respectable pace. I’d like to get down to eight minutes a mile eventually, but that’s a way off yet. I’ll have to actually jog to get that and as much as I weigh now my knees couldn’t take it.
