Jalapeno Crispers and day-old Krispy Kreme for breakfast because a customer brought two dozen for us up from Edmonton when she picked up her vehicle last night, which is insanely sweet. I just gotta make it through today and that'll be a wrap on another work week. This is gonna require a lotta little pep talks.

Mom was too tired to go to the Monday Mystery Movie last night, which I am selfishly happy about, because I was working and it turned out to be Companion, which I want to see this weekend.

9. At What Age Should Children Be Allowed to Go Places Without Adult Supervision? What Age Were You When You Were Going Places By Yourself?

I guess it depends on the kid, as well as the definition of what 'going places' entails; some kids are definitely going to be less savvy than others, and they probably shouldn't be heading out to the other end of town on their own until they hit double digits regardless, but probably about seven? If you're old enough to go to school full-time, you should be able to handle going to the store down the street on your own or ramble around the neighbourhood with friends.
