It's 5:38am on a Saturday and I am up. This is wrong. What's even worse is the kid is not home from work yet. I am a little worried. She went to work at 9pm and was supposed to be off at 2:30. Why is she not home yet?

We are all supposed to be up and in the city at 8 for a final rehearsal. I'll be damned if I am letting the kid go to that. She is going to bed. She is not going to spend her morning doing some stupid shit after working all night. Hell, I am already pissed off about this - I am up 2.5 hours early, have to drive for 30 minutes to a rehearsal where I have 8 minutes of screen time and 20 minutes of prop moving. Fuck you.  This is my one damn day of rest before I have to teach again or do house things. Not happy this morning.

Taught yesterday and dealt with a shit ton of technical errors. I don't know if something went wrong with the server or if something has changed on the instance, but things wouldn't publish, the analyzer wouldn't work, etc. I faked my way through it and only ended class a half hour early.

After class me and B went to pick up some last minute things for the show. While we were out I got a new toothbrush and we got the Villains pack for Infinity. We stopped at Chili's for dinner because it's actually one of B's favorite places. This led to a discussion about the differences between her and me. About how she is very small town sometimes. This got even deeper when her and a friend back home got into a discussion about how someone they both knew just got engaged. For her and where she lives, this is how the women measure success. They get some kind of college degree, anything even an AA, get married, and have a baby. Win! Yeah, no. She was feeling down on herself. I had to point out that most of those people will end up divorced, unhappy, and hate themselves before 30. I also pointed out that in two months she has traveled over 2500 miles, been to Disneyland twice, and met a more diverse group of people than she would have met in 10 years back home. Perspective babe.

We went to bed around 10 since we had to be up early this morning. Her sleep pattern is slowly getting better, but it's still off.

Okay, it's 5:48 and the kid still isn't home. I am freaking out.
