Warm-up

Hi Miss Johnson, I just wanted to let you know why I wasn't at school yesterday. First off, my alarm somehow got turned off, so I overslept. Then, when I was finally getting ready, my sandwich was stolen by my cat, so I didn’t have breakfast. To top it off, the road near my house was blocked due to some construction, which delayed me even more. Sorry for missing class! I'll make sure to catch up on anything I missed. Thanks, Lee
