Right now I have a big headache. It is a bummer.

This morning I got my 24-hour collection box all sorted so it would be ready to ship. Then I remembered that I had a haircut scheduled right after work. The latest beginning time I could pick for my FedEx pickup was 4:30PM and my haircut was at 4:30PM so I texted my sister to see if she would be back in town by then and if she could babysit my box. She didn't know but she said she would get back to me. If she wouldn't be back in time I was going to have to cancel my haircut because the FedEx thing was a time-sensitive situation. But then my mom stepped up like a champ. I figured she was going to go walking after work but she wasn't and she was able to man the fort. Which turned out to be a good thing because the FedEx showed up before I got home.

The lady who cuts my hair moved to her new place since my last haircut and it is a big improvement. She sold her business and originally wanted to buy this small place but her friend wasn't ready to sell yet. So she ended up in the place I went last time that was a bit of a dump and she had to spend a lot of her own time and money fixing the place up, with very little thanks from the owners. And then her friend decided she was ready to sell so she moved again. The new place is pretty much better in every way. Clean, roomy, inviting, other things, and so on.

But now I've skipped work, so let me backtrack. Today was the first day of MAP testing. I started the day with a fifth grade State Assessment and then went right into a sixth grade MAP test. Both were equally boring, but at least I got to write down scores after the MAP test. Although I didn't really miss that and I imagine my back will be a little sore tomorrow from bending down to read them. I really need to go get my eyes checked and get a new prescription in my glasses so I don't need to bend down so far.

The testing covered my morning and my afternoon was pretty pointless. Two classes and one Math group didn't show up so there was a whole lot of nothing going on until three o'clock when the sixth graders came back to finish their MAP test. And then it was still a whole lot of nothing, but this time on my feet, with the occasional score to write down. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little less boring.

And now going back to my night. I'm exhausted and I'm not exactly sure why. I did some running around due to testing but no more than I have been doing. And I think I slept relatively well last night. So I don't know. Just tired I guess. I played a little more Tera and got to level eleven, which means I get a free mount, in the form of a horse, but I was a couple quests away from going to the city where I had to talk to a dude about the horse. And just like Mario, my horse was in another castle. Or at least another city. And I wasn't going to go chasing after it tonight so I called it quits until next time. I was going to knit a bit but now I think I'm just going to go to bed. Sleep has sounded like a good idea since the middle of the afternoon. I'm going to give it a shot.
