L is diligently keeping me apprised of her whereabouts, as we asked her to. I'm glad, because I turned off my parenting brain quite some time ago. I get a text like this and I think "Oh right. I'm responsible for a kid. Whew, I'm glad she's not doing shots with some college boys, or something."

It's going to take me a few more days (weeks?) to start wondering where she is at any given moment. Because right now, she's still off my radar. So until then, I'm glad she's proactively letting me know.
