Dawn ,'Storyteller'
[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.
I'm talking about MANY parents on a usual basis now having to do really extreme things for their kids to get into kindergarden.
There's no waiting in line in SF. You just have to negotiate the lottery system. It requires a fair amount of research to find the best school, with workable hours and a convenient commute etc.
Where I grew up in San Diego there were a handful of Kindergartens where parents put their kids onto the waiting list at conception and still had issues getting them in. They were all private and feeder schools for a group of exclusive prep schools
X-post, see above. I do know her but haven't seen her in the last couple of years.
I guess I am just super thankful that none of that existed for me when I was growing up, because I would have ended up wandering the streets during school hours. (I mean, even more than usual). No way in hell was any adult who was in my life back then going to do any more than sign a paper to get me into school.
Thanks for the ~ma, guys. On the upside, FiL is alert and communicative, so that's good, but at the same time, we are dealing with something that's extremely serious and definitely worse than we might have expected given how quickly things have unfolded. It's bad enough that my MiL called a couple hours ago and said that Lewis or I or both of us or all four of us needed to get to Jax, like now. We decided that it would be easiest for Lewis to go right away and the rest of us play it by ear, rather than spend today scrambling to get all four of us on a flight and arrange for the dogs to board and everything.
So I've got Lewis on a red-eye tonight and I'm playing wait-and-see on the rest of it.
Oh Barb, I hope everything turns out okay. So scary.
{{{Barb and Family}}} Much ~ma to your FiL
I had my first gym work out with the PT today. It was good, but I think I'm going to be in pain tomorrow. That counts for onerous task day, right?
That counts for onerous task day, right?
Absolutely. Maybe a bath or ibuprofen now?

Pre-emptive ibuprofen is never a bad idea.
I took ibuprofen before I went. Coffee with Lea now, then picking up CSA. I do plan on taking a long bath tonight though.
