My *own* opinion is that your activity load right now sounds high for ANY adult, not just you.
Yes. This.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Ok. So, rethinking tomorrow. I had told the kids we were going to have a VDay party. I have some crafts for them to do, and I was going to have them decorate heart-shaped cupcakes and eat them. I was going to make the cupcakes and frosting from scratch, because we have a little girl with a SEVERE peanut/nut allergy, so I didn't want to get something from a bakery, risking that it's been near nuts.
So, do we think box cake mix and like Pillsbury frosting will be ok? I think that's still a better option than picking something up from a bakery, but easier than scratch. Or scratch the whole snack plan and just do the crafts.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This team has occasionally played the system he's taught them, which is when they've been the most successful. They just can't seem to realize that one has something to with the other, so instead they whine about their ice time. Every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, I'm guaranteed to have a cranky husband.
My advice? Actively recruit two new players who are better than almost everybody else on the team and are both easygoing and cheerful.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Yes, it will.
Keep your focus tight and manageable. Scale down your ambitions a bit.

What are the chances that the kids will have had treats during the school day, vw? If it's likely they did, then just going for the crafts might be a good thing.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
vw - Emeline's class has a severe nut allergy so snacks are typically** jello and juice.
This is what I take. The fruit in jell-o cups. You could do pudding, too!

vw, Teppy is very wise. I hope you feel better soon, and I'm glad your boss is giving you the time you need to rest.
If you feed Sass canned food
She doesn't -- she's been getting a low-residue kibble [link] prescribed by the vet. It looks like it comes in a canned version, so I'll try and pick some of that up tomorrow.

Oh! Jello! I could totally do jello in the little heart-shaped pans. That's brilliant!
