I wanted to send the diary sooner but I hurt a finger on my left hand and it made it hard to type. It's still little sore now. I caught it in the door and it really hurt a lot but it's getting better now.

We are going out on Saturday. We spoke on the phone and said we'll go and see a movie but we don't know which one yet. She'd like to see a grown up movie so we'll try to find something interesting.

Nikki's birthday is next week so I probably won't see her on that day. I will give her the present this weekend and I really hope we make up because I've missed her and maybe I've been to hard on her and I probably made some mistakes of my own. I don't want her to feel like a kid I'm dragging everywhere with me but sometimes she does act like a kid herself. We should look for something to do together. Volunteer work could be a good idea to do but it's not something we've done before and I don't know how to go find something like that. Maybe an animal shelter could be a good start. She likes animals. But it could be too big a commitment for us. I was thinking maybe we could go to art class and learn painting or sculpture. I would like to draw her or paint her in nude or even make a small sculpture in clay and I would like to see her do the same. I would hang her paintings all over my room.
