4:03 am: Awake. An hour earlier than I need to be. If my mattress wasn't crippling I could fall back asleep. I was dreaming about my friends from my early twenties, we were waiting in line to go to a concert and people kept showing up with more friends. It reminded me of how when I was young if you invited someone to something the chances were they would show up with three other people in tow and no one really cared, weird how that never happens in your forties.
5:01 am: At the gym, that opens at 5:00 am, there are already five cars in the parking lot and people on the equipment like they've been here for an hour. Do they get here and wait outside for the doors to open? What is going on here?
6:30 am: Woke up the kid, but I haven't actually seen him come out of his room, is he awake? Do I have to back into his room? I am too tired for this shit today.
8:05 am: Back from dropping the kid off at school. It's a minimum day today, so I'll be back there at 12:10 to wait for him to eventually make his way to the car.
8:48 am: Working on a story for The News With No Sound about a Texas teen that got swept up into a tornado while driving in their truck, the kid is the most nonchalant person I've ever seen get sucked up into a tornado. It's kind of amazing.
9:03 am: Made pie crust to use with the quiche we are having for dinner. Successfully covered my black sweatshirt in flour. That's the part I am the best at.
10:35 am: Sat down to read five pages of the book Idaho, by Emily Ruskovich. This book has some mysteries going on...I am trying to figure out where it's going, but I am more than willing to keep reading to figure them out. Great book so far.
11:55 am: Out the door to pick the kid up from his minimum day at school. I walked in the neighborhood and now I am so sweaty, I wish he would hurry up, ugh.
12:15 pm: Went to Target to get a birthday present for our friends daughter's party tomorrow. She's little so it's fun to go and buy toys for, except in the aisle where the dinosaur that talks and makes noises are, it sucks.
1:30 pm: Back home and feeling really tired from waking up at 4 AM, need some rest. Nap on the couch? Don't mind if I do.
2:51 pm: Hanging out with the kid in his room. We are both starving, early lunches are doing us in. Time to throw some premade cookies into the oven. Snacks, Snacks, Snacks
4:00 pm: Getting the quiche ready for it's forever baking. Bake it girl, by girl I mean me.
