It's half past midnight, and as tired as I am, I just can't sleep. I've got sunburn which I've gotten some relief from with coconut oil and peppermint and lavender oils. My stomach is in a knot and not very agreeable to being too far from a bathroom, so I just prefer to stay up and drink a Sprite, even though I'm exhausted. It just makes for getting laundry done easier.
I'm worried about Bryan. He just sits around playing video games. He doesn't want to do anything that isn't "entertaining." I told him life isn't always going to hand him things that are entertaining, and he needs to get used to that. I also explained to him that this summer, he needs to be working a full-time job. I told him that he's going to have to save up money to move out or go to college, and he's going to be paying his share of the cell phone bill. He wasn't very happy after that conversation. When I asked what he was doing to try and find a job, he said that he and his worker at the work force go over the ads and he picks stuff he thinks he'd like to do. I told him beggars can't be choosers and his jobs aren't meant to be all fun and games. Sometimes (actually a lot lately), I think we've protected Bryan from the real world too much.
A job could very well do him wonders. My first job helped me mature tremendously.
