Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love Boston. I remember them measuring the snow against Robert Parish, now it's Shaq: [link]

This is a freaky unpredictable storm. First: rain in the morning. Uh, no. 2-3" snow. Then 4-8" overnight. Then it changed to 5-10". An hour in, they downgraded it to 3-5". As of 7, they are back to 6-10". Only thing that happened on schedule was the main event started at 4.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am wearing dirty socks.
ION, I went to the CTA meeting in my neighborhood. Lots of people there, and many of them were there to register their disapproval of the possible closure of the Jarvis St. station. I added my disapproving comments to the pile.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My onerous task for today was making a fool of myself in front of upper management.
Did...did they make you wear a sombrero?
I am impressed with the ass-kicking onerosity doing around here.
I myself officially submitted Matilda's application for school placement next year, did some grocery shopping (not really onerous, but a task), took Emmett to the dentist (No Cavities!), and just fed Emmett his post-school, pre-dinner meal. I made him a cheeseburger, but first he ate a banana. And then he complained piteously that he's starving so I gave him an apple. And now he's going to starve to death before dinner, which is an entire hour and a half away.
He is now, officially, the incredible 14 y.o. food demolishing machine, in mid-growth-spurt.
He had finals week last week and got a B on his Science final (yay!), and a D+ on the Math final (boo!) and an A on health, and we're waiting breathlessly for his English grade since I prepped him for two hours for his in-class essay on Catcher in the Rye.
Good news: Deanna, his Krav teacher, has asked him to help her teach the kids' classes. That's a big deal! And definitely plays to his strengths of Plays Wells With Kids and loves Krav.
And now I have to do dishes and take out the trash.

Man, we're going to need a Sock Wrangling Day or something.

I need to buy new socks and cull the ones with holes.
Onerous sock day!
