Yet Another Flaw

I don't know were to start... Not that today was all that out of the ordinary. It's late and I'm tired. I always wait until I'm too tired to write a decent entry. Yet another flaw I need to work on. I'll do my best...

Today was Jenna's last day. I came up with the idea of getting her a little going away gift and a card. I did like working with her most of the time. I couldn't let her leave without honoring her in some way. We have an inside joke that my hair looks like a cinnamon bun when I put it up, and her bun looks like a donut whole/mini donut. So, I filled a mason jar with donut holes and put a bow on it. I took it into work, even thought it was my day off. And everyone knows I'm very serious about not going into work on my days off, but I did it for her. She loved the gift, and appreciated that I came in to say goodbye. I still can't believe she's really gone. She has one of the most stoic work ethics I've ever seen. She never complained. Gave all of herself. Showed up early, left late so many times. It's a definite loss for our store.

At dance class today, Keenan's teacher told me that she thinks he should audition for The Nutcracker in September. That made me so proud! I didn't think he'd be ready for The Nutcracker until next year, but she thinks he has natural ability. She also invited him to try one of her more advanced classes next Tuesday. Keenan didn't hear this conversation, so when I told him about it after class, his little face lit up and those big baby blue eyes got the brightest twinkle! He loves ballet and I love that he loves it.

I'm lonely. I'd forgotten how much I don't like Snookums working graveyard shifts. I'm not complaining about him working (at all). It's taking some getting used to, not having him in bed with me. It's almost 3am, and I'm not settled enough to sleep. Even though I'm tired. This isn't going to be his regular shift. He's shadowing tenured officers so he'll know the procedures for all shifts. He'll be on a 3pm to 11pm shift normally. Which isn't too bad.

To busy my mind about Snookums not being home (and because I needed my steps, I went to the gym around 10:30 tonight. I'd fed the kids, they were showered and ready for bed. Annie (who so rarely is these days) was home, so I felt good about leaving them for awhile. I also took a leisurely stroll around Central Market. I got home around 1am. While at Central I found this pore clarifying/hydrating face mask. I just took it off, and oh my goodness my face feels amazing! It was unlike any mask I've tired before. It was a fabric sheet soaked in serum, and I love the results. My face feels so soft. I need to try some of the other ones.

I cut up two mangoes, so I'll go eat those now. I'm not writing very well right now...
