I went to bed well before ten o'clock last night, and despite having to get up numerous times throughout the night to go to the bathroom because of a lot of water and a whole glass of orange juice too soon before bed, I slept really well. One of those sleeps where I wanted to stay in bed forever. But I couldn't so I got up and went to work.

I finished a storybook and got several pages into the last book. The finish line is within reach.

Today was a pretty uneventful day. So much so that there really isn't anything to write about. I had classes in the lab pretty much all day, second grade reading groups weren't really a thing because there was a sub, and yeah. Nothing. Or maybe my tired brain just isn't in the mood to reflect on my day and put it down in text.

After work I picked up Chipotle and then stopped for gas on my way home. I didn't think I was going to be able to show videos after dinner but I ended up not having a visit with the new volunteer kid. So I showed videos and hung out and talked with my mom and sister for awhile.

I texted the new volunteer kid after work but never heard back so I called his foster dad around the time I would need to leave if we were having a visit. But the kid was at work. I learned from the foster dad that the kid had lost his phone and neither of them had my number. It sounded like he lost his phone as in had it taken away but later the kid said he actually lost it. The reason I was confused was that the kid has been putting his job before school and showing up late a lot. To the point where the principal called the foster dad today about it. Some kids get a little taste of money and freedom with a first job and forget that high school is way more important than a dead-end minimum wage job. The kid ended up calling me when he got home from work and this was one of the things I kept trying to tell him. Working at the theater I have seen way too many people put work before school and it is sad.
