More MAP testing. More staring at spreadsheets and playing with
numbers. A typical day in the life of me. I can't think of anything
too outstanding happening today. At least to me. Last night the
police apparently knocked down the door of some of the kids, taking
the kids and arresting the parents possibly. And it may have been
the same kids or different ones that were picked up at school today
by the police. And yesterday a first grader showed up with giant
bruises on her leg that she showed her teacher and she was eventually
taken by a social worker. And a fifth grader, who has the emotional
development and coping skills of a much younger kid, had a meltdown
when he couldn't get something at the book fair. So there was a lot
of stuff going on but all I did was proctor two tests and then spend
a lot of time inputting various scores and percentiles and other
things into spreadsheets. I tend to avoid a lot of drama down in the
lab. Thankfully.
After work I went to the mall to get my mom a gift card for Mother's
Day. I am also looking into crochet flower patterns because I think
that would be cool. If I can't figure that out I'll wander around
Hobby Lobby until something jumps out at me. From the mall I went to
Jimmy John's and Chipotle. I missed a parking spot in front of Jimmy
John's because I was laughing at a Mitch Hedberg joke and completely
spaced out as I drove by the open spot. It lead to me having to park
farther away but walking is good for me, even though it was kind of
hot and I don't like being hot. My burrito was decent, the chips
with my sister's hummus was better, and the birthday cake for dessert
was delicious.
Tonight I watched YouTube videos, clicked around the internet,
finished my fourth and final potholder, and considered getting a
sewing machine. I have often wanted to get a sewing machine but have
never been able to make a commitment. I always manage to talk myself
out of it. Or read enough negative reviews of the machine I am
considering and lose the nerve to buy it. It seems like summer would
be a good time to take up sewing but I also want to finish my
woodworking projects, get back into learning the piano, play a whole
bunch of video games, take up a new hobby, and other things. Sewing
could be that new hobby but I don't know. I'll keep my eye on the
sewing machine I am currently interested in.
Now I am going to go to bed because I am tired. Exhausted really.
Not so much in body but definitely in mind. And a little bit in the
head region beyond the mind.
