But may the backup school be fabulous!
Nope. We got none of our choices.
So now we have to reject the assignment and try to get into her school of choice. This could drag into early school year. Fuck!
Nandi: I ain't her. Mal: Only people in this room is you and me.

Ugh, Hec. That is awful! Everyone should want Matilda because she is awesome.

She got assigned to a fucking VOCATIONAL SCHOOL!! No, she doesn't want a career in the Culinary Arts.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
The culinary arts are great, but this isn't even a culinary college feeder school for serious foodies--it's a vocational school with small AP and honors programs, but most of its energy focused on kids who will likely be going straight to work out of high school.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
That must be a blow, for Matilda and you guys. I am so sorry.
Thanks for the nail "tips" everyone. I wasn't sure if acetone worked on acrylic. I really just need to get my thumbs and index fingers short.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sophia, I am going to have to remove my gel coating in a week. Your nails will be thin, but buff them and put on a clear coat until the grow back out.

It must feel like Disaster Voltron for Matilda -- sheltering in place, getting into none(!!!!!????) of her HS choices, AND her mom getting sick.
Good thing she has parents to advocate for her. Trying to find out what the fuck was wrong with the selection process for ALL of those schools, especially a review to see if some test score was recorded wrongly so the calculations as to whether she'd even get considered was below some threshold?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
forgot to take my meds this weekend. Turns out a respiratory pandemic is not a great time to not take allergy and anti-anxiety meds. Little anxiety attack this morning as I was all congested and couldn't get a deep breath.
le sigh
have taken meds, a hot steamy shower, and put some vapo rub on my chest. All seems better now.
I went with water instead of coffee this morning. My stomach is a bit wobbly, I am assuming stress related, and I think the acidity is not gonna help.
Back to work. I am going to do some adjustments to the home set up today, so my computer is higher and I don't have to look down all day.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We got permission to run into the office long enough to grab a few things to make wfh easier today, so I'm going to rescue my poor plants and get my keyboard and mouse and probably a notebook and dayplanner. Exciting!

Yay, plant rescue, -t! I was just thinking of the poor seedlings that ltc and her classmates were growing.
