Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
I put away all my socks.
go amyth
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.
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!
I do not have sock issues. I put all my dirty socks in a mesh bag, wash them in the bag and then match and put them away right then. Rarely lose socks that way. OH! I always have a pair toasting on a radiator. Waaaaaarm soooooooockssssss.
Boiling water with cinnamon on the stove. One, to get the humidity up (my nose is protesting the dry in a disconcerting manner) and two, it smells good and comforting when it is cold and snowy out!
