well hello. guess i've failed the one post a day challenge already. lol. but i will attempt to increase my updates. They might not be super long, though I end up typing way more than I plan to.

Anywho, I gave my tests to my kids on friday. I guess I didn't proofread as well as I should after staying up late making them. "Mrs. Malo, you made a mistake again." oops. I'm like "Do you know what I was trying to ask?" "Well, yeh." "Cool! Then it's no big deal."

My high schoolers all did pretty good except for one kid who ended up with a 39%. I asked my principal what I should do. I ended up giving the test verbally to him during my next class period, Social Skills. It took the whole class, but he ended up with a 78%. And I ended up missing an entire lesson to give. Another teacher had to watch my class for me as I put on a brain games video.

I was off both jobs yesterday. My one day off a week. I pretty much did nothing. Russ and I did make a trip to Carvel though. One just opened near us, and they were having a "grand opening" even though they opened over a week ago. lol. they gave out free soft serve cones. I picked out the Nutella and finding the next love of my life. It was amazing! creamy deliciousness! The talk radio show had a tent too, and we could roll huge dice to win prizes. Neither of us won.

But for a grand opening, they seemed pretty slow. I felt bad just coming in for icecream and leaving. I bet they hadn't had real business all day.

We went to the bookstore yesterday too to buy an expansion for the new board game Russ got, Small World. We haven't played it yet. I feel kind of guilty, because I just haven't been in the mindset to play games. And I know Russ really wants to play it.

Side note, we have a HUGE board game collection that grows continuously. Almost monthly, if not weekly. lol. Anything from the classic games to RPG Games. We also have a TON of different card games. We love games.

We mostly stayed in bed all day and binge watched How I Met Your Mother on Netflix. The last season was finally released. We ended up finishing it tonight. *sniffle* Now it's officially over.

I worked today from 10-6. That's what time the pharmacy is open on Sundays. It was me and a floater pharmacist, Margaret. Just us until 2 when my cashier, Dwennifer, came in. I love Margaret, and I love when she works. She's awesome.

Today though, her daughter had a massive psychotic break.

I guess I should backtrack.

Margaret came to float for us on Thursday. I hadn't worked with her in a while, so it was awesome seeing her. (Floater pharmacists take over for our regular pharmacists when they are out. Janet's out on maternity leave.. OH she had her baby the other day! and Ram is out on medical LOA (leave of absence) because of he had surgery on his foot. He should be back Tuesday. So we've been having floaters for the last few weeks) She has a 17 year old daughter who was just recently dumped by her boyfriend, and apparently has been crying ever since. Completely dramatic. My life is over. blablabla Somewhat normal for a 17 year old. Maybe slightly on the a little too dramatic scale, but still a teenage girl going through her first break up.

I offered on Thursday to make a break-up playlist for her. See anytime one of my friends goes through a bad break up, they come to me to make them a playlist. lol. Because music is awesome. So made a CD for her and brought it in today at work.

I guess today she found out the ex is kind of with another girl. And she went insane. Breaking things in her room. Slamming the door. Banging her head on the wall. I asked Margaret if she's ever done anything like this before, and Margaret said no. That this is really weird. But poor Margaret was worried all day. Her son who's 13 kept calling and asking her to come home. Her daughters friends were over and were actually texting and calling Margaret. So she was almost in tears all day. And borderline pissed because this is all over a boy. lol

So she was debating on taking her to the ER when she gets home just to do something. And then maybe some therapy eventually. But she's scared to leave her alone tomorrow in case the girl doesn't want to go to school. Margaret's scheduled to come to our store tomorrow, but now she might not.

I'm really hoping everyone's okay.

Anywho, i guess I should get ready for bed. I have school 11-3 tomorrow, then have to be in the pharm 4-9. fun times. I'm working all week again in the pharm. So another week of long days. ugh. I'm so over that place.

peace!
