I woke up this morning kinda wishing that I could have gone back to bed but I knew that I needed to get up and get moving since today was the final day of work for 2024. I actually managed to leave about ten minutes before I was supposed.

I went to Dutch Bros before heading to work where I relaxed a little bit before going into work. 

I had a bad feeling that we did not have that many kids and I was right. I only had six and one of them should have been send home.

I was able to go home around 4pm but I went back to Dutch and then went to get gas. I did not want to be one of those people that do it Christmas Eve.
