#so i'll have most of tomorrow and the entirety of wednesday

Objective #2 did in fact get done in time. We're making progress -- I finished about twenty minutes before class! (That last bit is dripping with sarcasm, just so we're all clear.)

Objective #5 did not get done before class. It's done now -- I just need to go deliver it.

Aig's are starting to kick up for some reason. It's very annoying. But then it was a pretty good day. I slept okay last night and I woke up pretty easy. James made me toast while I got dressed. I went and got the bus and it was all good. I kind of bike down the alley the wrong way for a few minutes not realizing I had missed the correct turn but that's okay

I got to the school at 8:30 and did all the setup myself again. I'm not bitter or anything. I was a little annoyed to find out that one of the other teachers did not consider that they would need to get materials for their own project that my class was doing. Because we've been doing the same project every week for the entirety of summer camp and it is the last week and now we're on the lesson plan that they wrote and they didn't request enough supplies. And I find this out about 45 minutes before my class was supposed to start. I was not pleased. It all work out in the end. But I was not happy.

For both yoga classes I have the kids discuss what Trump said about Baltimore this past weekend. We talked about what it means and why it hurts when someone on the outside says something like that. I had them all say something positive about the city and reasons they like it here. The architecture the people. And museums. The food. We had some good answers. Couple kids said things like Wendy's, Chick-fil-A and GameStop. But that was fine and mostly funny. We also talked about ways that we can improve our community while we did our breathing. It was a good day

The kids were not very happy with me then I would have to leave early. They were all like you can't go. But I kept trying to win them I was just not going to be with them for the last two hours of the day. I tried to explain to them that for about 45 minutes of that that you normally don't see me anyway. But it was fine. We made it through.

It was pretty fun. The little kids don't love Mosaic as much as the older kids had. But I think they still enjoying what we're doing. The third graders like it the second graders are fine with it and the little kids are kind of just confused by it. But it's okay. Animals because I just would like to streamline that. One of the girls is writing it in a word but that's okay. I think they're all going to make very nice pieces.

During reading I kind of was checked out. Was very hungry so I was eating my lunch in the back of the room. I helped kids log on to computers but I didn't help with my shelves. Not that there was anything for me to really do. I went and made sure that these workers were working on something I asked them to do and it was all good.

Lunch and recess were fine. It's hot outside. And Bre'Asia busted her lip open. I was supposed to do an incident report and I forgot so now I have to remember to do that in the morning. She's okay though she just bumped her face on a fence and split her lip. She wasn't even upset about it she was just bleeding.

I got the kids upstairs for stem and I only had about 15 minutes to get everything done. During yoga I had told them we had to get through it but they were going to have to be taught by someone else. And they were like okay. So they all let me get through my quick lesson. And then I had them partner up and go in the hallway to trace each other. They're making bodies. Once I laughed they watched a video about bones and bodies and veins and things. And for the rest of the week they'll be cutting out those things out of construction paper to fix to the bodies that they made. I think that's going to be fun.

I laughed and got a lift to my old apartment. My Lyft driver actually was a parent of someone who used to be at access art last year. So that was very funny and I got to talk to her for the whole time about kids and their safety and stuff.

And then I was at my old apartment. I made sure that all the trash was out. I got the trash can that James forgot to bring. And then I waited for the maintenance man. He was really nice. He said I looked at a lot cleaner than most people do. It needs a couple things normal. Needs toilet seats replaced and a light bulb. It all needs to be painted and the mold in the basement is an issue but not one that I'm going to have to worry about. So hopefully I'll get most if not all of my security deposit back. I don't know if they take out money for the paint or the toilet seats. I was just very glad for it all to be done. He took pictures and wrote stuff down and then I gave him my keys and I left.

We move on from that chapter.

I got back here after a very long walk carrying a metal trash can. And I was hot but I couldn't get too comfy out. I rested for a little bit and had a snack. And then I walked to go get my bike. I was going to take the free bus but I looked and it wasn't coming for a while. So I decided to just walk and it wasn't bad. Once I got closer I went to streets to pick up some groceries. Couple things that I could have for this week for lunch and dinner. Food has not been very exciting for me lately so I wanted to get a couple things that I knew I like to eat. Indian food and Sushi and English muffins. Which my phone just auto corrected to "eating my feelings". Hilarious.

As I was walking down the hill with my groceries I have to stop and readjust my backpack. I went to a window ledge where I found three very small elephants. Made me laugh. I was so confused.

I got my bike and I went up to the other grocery store to get a couple things that they don't sell it the first one. Then I got back here. I put everything away and have another snack. Because that's all I'm doing tonight apparently and then I took a shower. I'm just resting now. James is working till about 7:30 and two of the guys from D&D you're coming tonight for their campaign. I'm hoping to work on the quilt. Because has to be done by Wednesday night. And I'm running out of time. There's not a ton still to do but I need to do the park that have to be hand-stitched. So I figure if I can finish that tonight on Wednesday I can do the last couple part that need to be sewn on the machine and then I'll bring it on Thursday. For the art show. Or art party whatever we're calling it.

Tomorrow is another day at Camp. We're almost done. I'm very burnt out and it's very hard to go. No way I have to be in charge of so much is a lot for me. But I'm trying. I love the kids so much so I want what's good for them and I know that I need to be 100%. So I'm going to keep plugging along. Hope you all have a great night. Be safe out there. Sleep well.
