Cereal: Good lord Katerina!
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

Punishingly Intricate
Yikes. Katerina!
I'm so sorry Matilda didn't get into the school she wanted to go to. Does she have a backup specialty school choice (Baltimore has a school for the arts and a design school now so artsy kids often apply to both as BSA is especially competitive.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
A friend of mine got tested at the ER last night but they gave her a pressured positive diagnosis because it's unlikely her test will get processed within two weeks. She's mostly homebound due to severe spinal issues so she was only out in public a specific date. Where I saw her and happily hugged her because I hadn't seen her in person since last summer. This was at a local drag show.
Huge crowd.
Community spread.

Well, you know I've lost it. I just mopped my kitchen and dining room. It's crazy times now!

Does she have a backup specialty school choice
No, but the mainstream school she'd go to has a good digital media/film program. So that's the backup and some of her friends would be going there.
Among her friends who applied to SOTA there's almost an even split on who got in.
Did Not Get In: Matilda Norah (one of her besties) Amelia (her closest friend in film)
Did Get In: Isabella (one of her besties. A very talented artist) Alex (a girl in her film class) Anjelica (into the dance program)
Haven't heard from Anya (who applied to creative writing) or Justy (also film).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm sorry Matilda didn't get in! She's so creative and talented. This certainly won't be her only opportunity. Wonderful that she has such a supportive family, and she's so kind and well-adjusted that she was able to be happy for her friends who did get in.
KB, holy hell, what awful people. Kudos to you for remaining calm.

OMG, Katerina. What the hell.

What a thing, Katie Bee!
I'm glad to hear M's alternative is promising. I'm pretty excited (vicariously) for her film career. Her and Owen, I expect to be very entertained by them!
Wine and then pina coladas, is that the wrong direction? It's been a long week and I am writing today off.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am think of making a mask or two and seeing if I have any exercise shirt or legging fabric to line it with since those fabrics are made to wick away moisture and dry quickly. I know the handmade ones aren't as good and will need to be washed after every use.

JZ just went up to get tested.
She got pushed to the front of the triage because she was in a case conference with a room full of pediatric heart surgeons within the last week so they need to know right away if she was an asymptomatic carrier, and whether they all need to be tested or quarantined.
