This is a guy that shows up at more unnecessary photo ops than Chuck Schumer and always tried to have a hand in political things that didn't involve his district or constituency. Liu transparently wants to be mayor. Nice start on that, Mr. Comptroller!
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Holy carp, y'all. Old Navy had some super cheap clearance prices, so last night I ordered a bunch of exercise clothes and colorful underpants ($1.49/pair!), and they've shipped already.
I guess the universe really wants me to give yoga a try. And to rock some sassy pants.

His afterschool is ridic unstructured and my guess chaotic. Last year, yes things got bad at afterschool also, but he wasn't on meds then and it was centered on the end of school. This all feels much more generalized. He needs to be in specialized care actually, but there is precious little of that in NYC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Miep Gies, who helped hide Anne Frank, dies at 100
Gies refused to read the papers, saying even a teenager's privacy was sacred. Later, she said if she had read them she would have had to burn them because they incriminated the "helpers."
That's some pretty powerful stuff.

I don't even know what to say, msbelle, besides repeating how much I admire you for your love and courage with Mac.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, I'm surprised Miep Gies was still alive.
In other horrible news, a friend of mine just updated me on a bananas situation in someone else's family, that's really not mine to share, but may I say how happy I am for my mental health?

msbelle, I hope you can find something more structured (maybe an academic thing or tutor?), and some good help for you!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh msbelle. I hope that things get more stable soon.
I have had a day. No breaks at all until 6:30 or so. So tired. But I should go help Frances with her reading homework as she needs someone to read it to.

Oh I also wanted to say about the bear: I have a friend who lives in Tahoe. She had a bear break into her neighbor's side of her duplex and try to open her fridge to get at the melon in there. Freaked her the hell out.
Evidently the bears in Tahoe likes them some human food and are more than capable of opening doors.
