Back into the routine. I played Rummikube this afternoon and ate way too much junk food. And FYI: jellybeans and M&M's do not taste good together. They don't keep score, which I don't like, but I'm just a sub, so my opinion doesn't count (and that's fine by me).

One of the volunteer opportunities I was pursuing came to a screeching halt this afternoon. I was under the impression that I would be mentoring a juvenile delinquent in a lockdown facility. A woman called this evening to tell me she had found an 11-year-old boy who is on probation AND  has psychological problems that I would mentor by picking him up at his home and taking him out for activities. I immediately knew that was a bad idea, but explained that I wouldn't feel comfortable putting a child in my car (they are criminals, after all). She understood perfectly and said they would keep my name on file so that if they resumed the in-house program, she would call me. Whew! Dodged that bullet (maybe literally).
