Today was a family adventure. My mom decided to take us to a farm out on LI and let us pick our own vegetables. The ride was a little over an hour. I spent most of my time listening to music and talking to Leo. We got to the farm and it was beautiful. Blue skies above, open fields in front of us, and dirt roads under our feet. It was warm but there was a nice breeze to keep us cool. We headed for the fields. First, we picked eggplants; 3 huge ones. Then we went on to the peppers. There were so many types. We finished with tomsatoes. All of our fresh veggies cost us only $20. Before we left, we stopped by the barn to pick up other things we wanted (onions, corn, lettuce, cheese...). We then headed home.
On the way home, we stopped at GameStop. Erik needed Microsoft points and a new headset. My mother and I waited in the car while the boys shopped. They emerged with a Turtle Beach headset. I don't know if I have any serious gamers in the audience, so I'll explain. Turtle Beachs are one of the best brands of headphones for serious gamers. This pair cost $60. A $60 headset for a 10yr old. Yea. That makes sense. I questioned my dad and eventually struck a deal. I give my old headset to Erik, and I get the Turtle Beachs. Great deal. I didn't even have to pay (I offered to pay him the money back, but my dad declined).
After GameStop, we went home and the cooking began. My mother showed me how to make Eggplant Parmesan. We make 2 batches of it. We cooked together and had fun. The food came out delicious. We all ate and enjoyed it. After dinner, we just relaxed. Eventually, Erik went to sleep and I got to try my new headset. It took me a while to figure it out, but I got it up and running. They're so comfortable and cool looking. It just has soooo many wires. Anywho, now I'm in bed. I'm exhausted. I have work tomorrow. I'm finally getting myself back to normal. I'm still on some medication, but I should be OK to work. I'm only working one early shift which is good. Life is slowly getting back to 'normal'.
