Feeling like a fucking rock star

Jacket’s mom called me at 3:15pm and asked me to come and pick Jacket up for the night.  In the past hour I somewhat frantically worked out

1. borrowing my friend’s car (thanks ben and stef!)

2. Going to ‘the nurse’ from work’s apartment to go swimming with Jacket and her baby tonight

3. Secured a placement at the daycare nextdoor to my job for Jacket tomorrow

4. directions from my job in Canarsie to Williamsburg for the car to Clinton Hill (home) for the car seat to East New York to pick up Jacket and then to Bushwick to swim and then back home (tonight) and from home back to Canarsie in the morning

P.S. Survey says 2-3 phone calls a day for Jacket and her mom.  I’ll let you know how the negotiations go.  She wants 6 calls a day.
