Been nine days on the cycle, doing the same thing, when will it end? in about 118 days. The number might look big but really that time is in a blink of a eye. Once you look back you will be amazed how fast it took to get where you were to now. Might say "wow, I`m like 90 years old now"                Today I did nothing special, again. Tomorrow though we are finally going to go ice skating. My brother Matthew said its just like roller skating and I already been on blades. Though Roller skating is easier this is harder. Good-bye.
