Oh universe, please be gentle with everyone here.
I have finished Grace's troop's bridging ceremony. I have one or two more major work obligations then I am over done.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

And game! Holy crap. I don't know how I'm supposed to calm down after that.

11:45, I have running water where it should be. AND a functioning interior cutoff valve. That is designed not to seize.
And now I should go fetch all my stuff from Anna's.

I'm sorry so many have had one of THOSE days.

Fantastic, sara!!! Water. In the right places.
For the rest, may tomorrow be better.
We had a fundraiser night at a local bar and grill. The team got 20% of all food and booze. I don't have our numbers yet but the place was busy all night and I know a fair amount of booze was consumed. I contributed on that front. It was beautiful outside, so I spent most of the night on the patio, greeting folks as they showed up.

Grades are in. Six weeks ago CJ had 1 A, 1 C, 1 D, and 4 Fs. Yeah, suckage. That was about when he started on the Adderall. He ended up with 1 A, 2 Cs (including the class he was going to retake over summer school and now I can get a refund), 2 Ds, and 2 Fs. Both the Fs are in classes he had already chosen to retake next year (he could take a different class to satisfy the credit but he wants to prove to himself he can do it). It is hard to say I'm happy with those grades, but I can say I'm happy with the improvement and I have a lot of hope for next year being less of a struggle.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That seems like pretty incredible improvement in 6 weeks!

That is good progress Suzi.
Sorry that everyone had crappy days.
I would have been here to commiserate, but I had a doctor's appt, after which the migraine that's been threatening for two days hit. It was the first really painful one I've had in a long time, so I guess I should consider myself lucky. My head is still pounding slightly, but I am at work, so we'll see how the day goes.
My last two doctor's appointments, my doctor has been pretty close to on time. I'm used to expecting her to be 30 minutes late. I think there's some kind of new world order.

Suzi, that's really good improvement, yes! I hope he feels the tide has turned!
I was SURE this was a Friday. I'm unemployed anyway, so it being one more day to the weekend is not so important, but it's strange to have planned the day out on the assumption of what day it is and find I've missed a step on the staircase.
