Well, Casper pulled it out and passed both latin and math. No summer school! Phew.
One of the things I never expected about parenting is that I would be so happy about a couple of Ds.

Yay?
Well, I rearranged my whole schedule this week in order to have a late-Friday meeting with a very difficult member of a particular organization, to work out logistics for a ceremony next week. Since today is my regular day off, I switched my schedule and took Monday off instead, and worked today. And then around 10AM I learned she'd cancelled the meeting.
!!!
Anyway, we got 4 hours of admin leave today because of the holiday weekend, so I took myself to a very nice lunch with a beer, and then went home and took a long nap. So, not too bad, but I'm somewhat annoyed because I was stressing all week about this meeting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, that is super annoying!
Congrats, Casper?

And now we have had our daily newsdrop of scandal about the Trumps, this one involving Kushner asking to set up secured communications with Moscow at the Russian Embassy during the transition.
....
How long until indictments drop? Seriously.

How stupid do you have to be to set up something like that with the Russians? How do you think, 'Hey this is a good idea.'

My first instinct is to answer, not soon enough, yet part of me wants them to stay completely dysfunctional for a while until midterms at least.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I loved that bit in the WaPo article where they quoted a former intelligence officer saying, basically, "Did he think people wouldn't notice if he was just visiting the Russian Embassy all of the time?"

'suela, I hate when you gear up for something and then it doesn't happen. It feels like I've been stressing for no reason.
I am worried that this latest scandal drop will have zero effect. It feels like the GOP will do nothing. It feels hopeless.
