Okay, so I did something yesterday that I've never done before.

I skipped school. I was going to the bus to get to school, and I just didn't. I took the train south to the Aquarium. And I had a wonderful day. I thought I might feel twinges of remorse, or guilt, but, surprisingly, I felt none of that. I just had a good day. There was almost no one there, not at all like it is on the weekend.

I also went to the office, and brought a bowl of candy that my mother had bought on Thursday evening. She said "I think it would just be nice if you brought some of this candy into work for any children that may come in."

I said, "What children? No one ever comes in at all."

To which she replied, "It never hurts to be prepared."

Gggrrr!

It sits on my desk. Half empty.

Now here's a picture of my cat. Who loves boxes that are just three sizes too small. He was named after Jamie, a character in one of my favorite books: Outlander.
