billytea, I powered my way through Lesson 1 last night. I wasn't sure how much I was going to retain, but I managed to pass the quiz with 5/5.

Did anyone else buy the recommended text?

I haven't yet. The Kindle editions are ridonk expensive.

I was up at 4 even though I have the day "off." I'm going to spend an hour or two in Noah's class and another 2 hours moving art supplies for the schoolwide art program. Then I'm going to go get a crown. GOOD TIMES.

Then I'm going to go get a crown

And I thought "Well, after doing all that, you deserve one--oh."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And I caught up (uh, I mean on) later than Connie.

MORE SUPPORT??? My boss is really bad at getting me off this project.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

For the first time today I managed to pet both the half-Siamese alley cat (I have dubbed him Jackson because he's very pretty, standoffish, and constantly intimidated by all the other cats) and the fluffy little gray kitten of indeterminate gender.

I'll suggest the Everybody Poops book to CJ.

It is too early in the morning for drama from the search and rescue team. I know I shared the drama over the promotions last month. Well, the parents of the guy who felt he didn't get the promotion he was due (even though he DID get a promotion) are the head of the Parent Support Unit. A while back another mom, L, and I were named Co-Chairmen (women?) in waiting for next year when their son graduates. Well, guess who is stepping down on Tuesday and expecting L and I to step up? WIthout even talking to us about it. It was just in the agenda, which I often don't read until the day of the meeting.

L and I knew this would be a possibility after the promotion drama, but we had hoped that the parents would be a bit more adult about the whole situation.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Matt, he looks a lot like our Victor (RIP).

Suzi, so often parents are the worst.

I have had a ton of time off in the past 10 days (last friday was Admittance Day, then labor day and today is Rosh Hashannah) but I do wish we had cooler weather. Days off when it's a 100 degrees out blow. But it is compelling me to grade, which is good.
