Today Was Ordinary: My First Diary

My Mom gave it to me for Christmas. And either I started this diary backwards, or I used it for a year and a half and put stuff in later (example: "Grama came up I think this day." and "My Grandma's birthday, somewhere in July or June"). A combination of both is likely, because at some point I "caught up" with my entries by filling in almost every day from January 30-May 9 with "O." and "O." stands for: Ordinary. Some things never change.
