It was May of 2024 AD. My house was clean. I had not looked at bad stuff on the internet or se x u a l ly fantasized for a month and a half. I had been going back to the RLDS Church. I was still hanging out with my friends. I was constantly watching Star Wars and Star Trek and writing fanfics and Humorous Versions and stories on theforce.net and my own websites. I was also always in the Scriptures. I had found balance. I was reading many books, and I was working on another 5 book challenge, my third since March, because I was poring through book after book at a rapid pace.
Now it was in these circumstances that an unexpected package arrived on my front porch. It had no return address. It was addressed to me.
I took it upstairs and opened it with my scissors.

It was a whole lot of Journals. I opened the first one. It was my first journal I kept when I was in elementary school. It was very short. I opened the next and the next. More of my elementary school journals, even the seed I taped in the original, there was another one, just like it, taped in one of them. And they were in a girl's printing, a girl I was familiar with.
I rejoiced, and thanked God, then logged into Diarylogsite1 and started typing them.
I had recently recharged my doorbell, which was plugged into my laptop. It rang. I looked and it was just my neighbor Steve again, testing it for me. I thanked him.
After a few hours of typing journal after journal, I started reading where I was in the Doctrine and Covenants again.
Then I read more of the Sealed Book of Mormon.
Then I read another book for about two hours, ate, and took my pills and supplements.
Later I played Minecraft with my friend Russell, then brushed my teeth, flossed and went to bed.

At Church the next morning there was a potluck. After I got home, I read Scriptures, a good book, and meditated for a while. Then I started another fanfic on theforce.net and then participated in Guardians of the Light. Taylor Neir was still my Jedi Master.
Then I cleaned out the cat's litterbox and ate dinner.
After dinner I typed more of my journals after the dishes were done, and after evening Church.
Then I read Scriptures and books until bedtime.

Monday, I had an appointment with Teddy, then I got my laundry done at the laundromat.
I got home, put all my clean clothes away, and was reading Esther in the Bible when my doorbell rang.
I went to see who it was. It was Maggie. We hugged. She wanted to kiss me but I told her it wasn't time for that yet.
So she kissed me on the cheek instead. I told her she couldn't come into my apartment unless we had a chaperone but that we could go out for lunch.
We ate lunch at the Chinese Restaurant. During the meal, she agreed to be the co-admin of all of my websites, which she told me she would sign up for when she got home. And she said she'd find a chaperone for us. We called Maggie's parents and I got their blessing on our relationship. Then we called my parents, then Joy, and got their blessing. Now we were officially courting. It seemed like I had known Maggie for years, even though I hardly knew her at all. She certainly got to know me a lot better that day. After eating, Maggie took me bowling, then to Webb Park where we swung on the swingset together and talked a long time until evening in the park's pavillion. Then she drove me back to my apartment. I fed my cat, took my pills, cleaned the catbox, took my supplements brushed my teeth flossed and went to bed.
At 10:00 PM Rick called and asked if I wanted to go to IHOP for drinks. I said yes.
We went out with Cindy and I had nothing but orange juice and apple juice and the three of us talked until midnight.
I got home, brushed and flossed my teeth again and slept all night.

Tuesday, Maggie came to my apartment with an older woman for a chaperone. She pointed out to me (Maggie did) that just as she had promised she had signed up for all of my websites and even theforce.net.
I made her a co-admin of all of them except of course theforce.net, which wasn't my website. Then we watched Star Wars Episode I together, then Episode II, then we studied the
Inspired Version of the Bible together. She said she believed in the Restructured Church as I did, and she had read the Sealed Book of Mormon many times.
Then Maggie and I sat very close on my loveseat and she rested her head on my shoulder and I put my head on her head and we just sat like that for a long time. It was amazing. Then we talked about administration things, and talked of our future plans together, our hopes, our dreams, our fears, and our pasts and we asked the older woman for marriage advice. We got quite a lot. The older woman had been happily married for fifty years before her husband had died. She had only married once in her lifetime and she and her husband had remained pure for each other before the wedding.
We went out for lunch to McDonald's. I had a filet-o-fish and a medium fry, no salt. She had the same, only I didn't have a bun on mine. We shared a chocolate shake, using two straws. It was my idea. We were falling in love.
At McDonald's we discussed many important things. I asked her if she was still able to have kids. She said yes, the doctor had told her she still had the womb of a 20-year old, although she was 41. He couldn't explain it.
After McDonald's we and the chaperone went to Maggie's house. I really liked it. We spent a lot of time there talking, studying together, praying together and watching movies and TV. I asked if I could write her. She said yes.
When I got home it was past Midnight. I did my evening routine and went to bed, and slept all night.
