The (excellent, nationally ranked) magnet high school in our fair city starts in 7th grade. (They do keep 7th and 8th grades a little apart in their own wing.) She's shadowing on Thursday, and registration is next week.

I also recently had The Talk that every mother has to have with her growing daughter at some point. No, not THAT talk ... the Leggings Are Not Pants talk.

Punishingly Intricate

My oatmeal usually works for me but not today! And mine was all tricked out with ground flax, chia seed/pom juice mix, and an apple.

It is raining like crazy out there. I dread to think of what this would look like if it was snow.

The mutant zombie chickens that are the result of the last 6-9 months of fuckeduppedness are coming home to roost.

And I'm fine with this because I've been telling people all along that they were coming, and they just wouldn't listen.

I had a feeling I would need extra food today, so I basically had two breakfasts at once. So far so good.

Also, made French press coffee at my desk so it could be half decaf Peet's Holiday Something, half TJ's Wintry Blend. Not bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The (excellent, nationally ranked) magnet high school in our fair city starts in 7th grade.

OK, that makes a little more sense, at least.

My real lunch problem is a noon meeting. So do I eat at 11:30, or hold out? I'm guessing the noon meeting will be short, but we'll see.

Sigh. I somehow managed to leave all my notes from big meeting last week and my meds at home today. This'll be interesting.

Didn't you just say you were already hungry, Jesse? Eat now.

Eat first, the meeting will seem to go faster that way....

Having two cups of half-caf probably defeats the purpose, huh?
