Entry Number 2

Dear Diary Journal,

Today was a great day. I would like to say it was a special day, but it wasn't, but it was still great. Actually, maybe it was special. I didn't break anything at work again, two days in a row! Promotion, here I come.

I was really busy today too. First I had to deliver a package to Carousel Boutique. Did I spell that right? Should that word really look so much like 'carousing'? (I have no clue if the apostrophe goes inside or outside the quote) You know, that thing pirates do after getting their booty. Getting more booty!

Booty Boutique!

I'm totally calling it that from now on... just not around Rarity.

Anyway, I don't have any idea what was in that package, but it was heavy, and Rarity looked a bit scared when I showed up with it. She opened it right away and looked inside, then let out a huge sigh of relief. I think she was scared that I broke something expensive again. But I didn't break it! Did you know that Rarity likes to tip? Nopony else ever tips me, but she does every time, and she gave me a big one! She really is generous, and pretty too. I bet she'd be my type if I was into mares.

But alas! (Heh, a lass) I have little appreciation for the feminine form, and so I will remain as single as the day I was born! That probably doesn't make much sense, but it rhymes.

Second, I had to deliver... You know what? I delivered a whole bunch of packages today, didn't break any of them, and Rarity is pretty. That's all you need to know about work.

When I got home, I found Dinky in the kitchen, making dinner. It was this incredible spaghetti and hayballs casserole thingy.

That... Well, I'm really proud of her. She's an amazing cook, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she ends up with a baking pan cutiemark. It really scares me though, that she's home alone for almost three hours before I get off work. What if something happened? What if she burned herself while cooking? What if someone broke in while I was away? She is way to young to be left alone.

Heh, she would probably be just fine. She's a smart filly, and strong too. Emotionally, I mean. I can still beat her at hoofwrestling. That scares me too, though. She shouldn't be that self-sufficient at her age. She shouldn't need to be!

I don't know what to do though. Ponyville is too small to have a community center. The school is so small it only has one teacher, and there aren't any after-school activities. I'm not good enough friends with anyone to be able to leave Dinky with them every day, and I can't afford a babysitter or daycare.

Am I a bad mom?
