Since it is the 26th, it means there is only 4 more days of the month. Deebeelynn is set to leave that time and I'll miss her but, we all deserve to leave this place. Also, it will just be 5 days after that when it is my turn so, it is bringing me relief just thinking about it.

I finally had a dream and it was my niece Roxanne. There were magical components to the dream but, I finally met her baby and sort of felt sympathy for her pain that she must of went through to give birth. I looked deep in its eyes and told her about fostering character. We then went to get pizza. There was dancing and stuff but there happened to be a Dave & Busters aspect to the place we went to.
