Took a mental health day. Skipped school and went to the woods.

Later in the evening, I drove through the dark to the store for some ice cream.

There was nobody at the store except for the high school student who was minding the cash register and dancing to the Justin Timberlake song on the radio when she thought nobody was looking. I almost stopped for long enough to tell her that I tremendously appreciated the dancing at work vibe. Almost.

I wish time would slow down.

I hope it’s a good night.
