Thanks for the ~ma for K-Bug. We hope to know more on Friday.

Dropping CJ off at the high school was surreal. The police were getting set-up for the training and there was crime scene tape all over the place. It just gave me the willies. The school they are using is less than 6 miles from Columbine High.

Lee, you are doing a good thing. TNG (who is not so N anymore, as Matt pointed out last weekend) was afraid of the entire world when I got her. She would squat and pee if you looked at her sideways, much less raised your voice.

Now she scares away the burglars with her angry barking (at other dogs), and she's fine with strangers and will even go happily to the dog park to run around and play.

Having a consistent, supportive environment where he knows what is expected of him will help Charlie enormously. And I wouldn't worry too much about boarding him: it's only a little while, and he'll get over it quickly. They're certainly used to skittish dogs.

I would hire you for anything, but I'd never be able to challenge you adequately.

ita, I doubt that. I did turn down the possibility of opening an office for one firm, because I just don't have the experience or skill set for that, esp. with being out of private consulting for the last six years. Maybe in a couple of years, if I can survive.

Since my last post, I paid some bills, emailed the maintenance folks at my dad's building, and posted the obituary since my brother had to go into a meeting. Now I might just go take a nap...

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Graduation is today.

I am required to participate in this the grard ceremony to hand out diplomas to ten students, one of whom is an absolute gem, in the most positive way possible.

But I'm tired just thinking about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG Kat, what a clusterfuck.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Kat, I don't have any words for that. Take care of yourself, and to hell with her.

This. She probably will never know, because when fails to be admitted to UC or somehow gets admitted and fails her first quarter/semester/trimester (whichever UC uses) she will blame it on someone else.
