Thu, 17 Jul 2008 14:19:34 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/176549/journal/1190049 Today is a very "blah" day.  Today is Eli's father's birthday, but we don't speak anymore.  Today is 5 weeks until my due date.  Today is day 6 since the guy I am seeing is gone for military training.  Today, I was told that, because I am under 21, I will no...
