I still have trouble falling asleep. Mom and Dad thought they needed to wake me up for a sub job back at the beginning of the month - and several sub jobs the week before. I know they call my sister every morning, but I'd rather just get up and maintain focus on what I need to do. I have an alarm clock that is not electric - let me take care of myself!!!! At least I'm on my own again for a couple of weeks, so once again, I can sleep as I need to and practice and write when I feel like it. It's nice to work on things when I have the dogs outside. I really need to get this business going so I don't need to really worry about sub jobs being a main source of income. I think substitute teachers are the only ones that really pray for no snow days....

Oh - and another way I feel like I've reached adulthood: paying my own $100+ dry cleaning bill without my father asking me if I needed any help paying it. I'm glad he's letting up on that kind of stuff.
