My weekend will involve grading, feh. I hope it also will involve catching up on sleep, but that's contingent on the first thing happening in a timely fashion.
Oh, and a kid's bday party. Nice family, should be fun.
Whoa. Good myth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
My experience with that kind of transition is that the problem is usually I'm holding on to an idea of myself which is no longer viable.
Yeah, I think a lot of this. It's made more complex by the fact that it's music, which is of course strongly tied to identity. But the truth is, music is more a part of my life than ever before, and it has nothing to do with the paying lessons. And you know, even if I weren't able to identify as a musician at all, it would be meaningless to my value as a human being. Okay, brain imps? So calm down.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, the preschool at Grattan looked at all our financial numbers for last year and this year, and looked at Emmett's birth certificate and calculated our payment based on a four member family in San Francisco and came up with this number: $20.20/day.
So for the 19 school days we've got in October it will be $383.80. Which is about a third of what we're currently paying for three days a week of preschool.
This includes lunch, and we'll also get an automatic entry into the kindergarten into one of the most sought after schools in the SF elementary school system.
A really nice break for us after a couple hard years.
I think my plan to ease Matilda into the transition is to spend some of that savings on bribing her way to happiness.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
