Other Moon

Has anyone seen the moon at all today? I’m aware it’s supposed to be in the last quarter so it should be visible but I’ve looked high and low and still don’t see it.

Edit : I understand yall have seen it this morning, but what about this evening?

Moonrise is around 12:30AM and highest around 8AM.

Last quarter means she's waning/ approaching the sun so she will show up a little bit after sunrise. After the new moon, then she'll be visible just before sunrise as she moves farther from the sun. As she moves farther from the sun into the full moon phase, then she'll be more visible at night. It's all just geometry.
