I am rather ashamed that I continue to iterate that writing is one of my favorite things yet I am becoming so inconsistent. I keep saying this. I don't know how to become better. It's so difficult to become a regular writer if I don't do it every day. Anyway. I'm going to transcribe my notes from the past few days, with some additions since I didn't take notes all weekend.
Weekend. The weekend consisted of some serious bra shopping and taking the bikes to the shop, and going to the homecoming dance, and going out for sushi lunch, and lots of sleeping. And a little drinking too. I also got my friend some more birthday presents and stashed them away for when her bday approaches.
I think that attending and participating in drama class is good for my confidence/self-esteem. And I'm not sure, but I also believe that it's good for some of the kids to see another 'adult' participating and interested in the theater program. I wish the director would utilize me more, but maybe he needs to see that I am available and interested in helping out. Or maybe he is so used to doing everything himself that he needs to learn to trust and delegate. Hopefully, it will become easier and better as time goes on.
I had noticed that one student was sans socks for several days and one day I remembered that we have a clothes closet available to kids and their families, so I took him there and we got him many pairs of socks. That felt like a successful mission. I also remembered to give a couple of kids some treats for extra credit behavior, so that was good too.
The weather has been chilly, but as pretty out as the nicest kind of Summer day. Except for yesterday, when it was rainy and last night when it was so windy that several sections of town lost electrical power...
There was a very amazing school assemble with lovely musical performances. I was really impressed by the singers, and think they could do well on any of the television talent shows.
So, we got some fishes. And I thought how cute! But then I found out from the pet store fellow that they can live up to eight years? What? I was really surprised.
I got some super cool stamps at the post office the other day: The Snowy Day, Bees and Flowers, and Jimi Hendrix. I love stamps.
A nice gal in the gas station bought me a lighter so I wouldn't have to give the guy a twenty for 99cents. That was really nice. Later I sort of paid it forward by giving a traveler guy from New Orleans a pack of cigarettes. And then another guy came up and offered him and myself a hit on his purchased pre-rolled joint, and I hadn't smoked in so long (since that time I accidentally rolled a teensy bit of pot into my cigarette and had to go to work a tiny bit stoned! Yikes.) that I seemed to get more and more high as I walked the rest of the way home and had to go to my haircut appointment very stoned. Which was sort of difficult and weird. I ended up fine because Steve was able to drive me to and from the salon.
I really want to learn how to use my Go Pro camera and upload the videos to YouTube. That is the only point in having that camera! I really need to do this somehow! How do I do it???
Do I need an i-Pad or can I use my new Surface pro that I rarely use?
I finally decided that after three weeks I'm probably not going to find my ID just sitting around somewhere, so I asked our nice secretary for the number to call and they said I just needed to send them ten bucks, but I only had a hundred and the accountant wasn't in to change it, so later I walked to the convenience store and got some stuff up to the counter but she said she couldn't change it, so I walked to the game store and bought a pretty awesome foam Zelda sword and a Rick & Morty wallet for Steve for Xmas (or his bday in January) and got change that way. Yay. Will order my ID tomorrow.
Even though there are still terrible after effects of the natural disasters in the United States, the biggest news lately is about sexual abuse and harassment. In Hollywood. Like serious shit. Serious.
Be kind to one another. Peace.
