I started off the month with an ice skating trip with youth group. I had such a great time with this group. I started off on the wall the whole time, then mom and Michael helped me learn how to skate. I realized toward the end how much fun it was not being on the wall.
A few days later, mom tested positive for Covid in the morning. We tested the rest of us, and I was the only other one with a positive test. I only missed one day of school because the district closed for a couple days with all the positive cases in the schools. I had a sore throat and kind of achy, but got over it quickly. Mom and I spent a lot of time together in her room watching Friends.
I have really enjoyed being able to be in the play. I am the daughter in a play about nighttime stories. I have practice about once a week. I also had an appointment with a new doctor. We were able to get to know her and address a lot of my issues. I think I am going to like her.
I had two volleyball tournaments this month. Dad took me to the one on January 29th. Unfortunately, we did not do well but we were playing 14s teams. Our scores were (25-19, 25-20), (25-17, 25-19), and (25-18, 25-20.) Mom took me to the tournament on February 5th. We got to spend the night with Jill, ate Fazoli's, and played with Ale! We played a lot better in this tournament. In pool play, we played well the first two games and not so much in the third game. (25-17 W, 25-18 W), (25-13 W, 25-17 W), (25-22 L, 25, 14 L) This got us 2nd place in the gold bracket. We didn't do so great in bracket play (25-7 L, 25-15 L),
We had another 5 day weekend because of snow and I got to enjoy these snow days unlike when I had Covid. Our family went clothes shopping and I was really excited to go. That is unusual for me because I like to hang out at home in my room most of the time. I got some clothes that I feel comfortable in.
Nana Arden and Papa Rodney came over for a garage birthday visit. They did come in to see my new room. They gave me some spending money and rings for my birthday. I will get to see the rest of the grandparents next weekend. That day was also volleyball practice and the Super Bowl. I watched a lot of the commercials and thought they were ok. The half time show was ok, but I really don't understand football.
Valentine's day wasn't great because I got into a fight with Lila, but we made up before my birthday. I really enjoyed my birthday. I felt special in a lot of my classes at school. We had Fazoli's (again), the smallest cake ever (but it was marble this year!), and I got my gifts (a lot of stuff for my room, the Teton trip, MU volleyball camp.) I wasn't ambivalent about turning 13. I didn't want to and was crying a few days before, and then I was happy to turn into a teenager!
