sj, time is no longer linear for me. How old will ltc be?
Pix, that just sounds awful. I'm so sorry.
Hec, thanks for the update on JZ and Emmett. I hope Matilda's school situation is resolved soon (and to your satisfaction).
If the apocalypse comes, beep me.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Montgomery County has now declared that private schools cannot open for in-person learning until October 1. So the first month of Mr.S's school will be done virtually.

That's what I thought, Sheryl. ltc actually qualifies for kindergarten this year (but only by 2 weeks), but we decided before the pandemic hit that we would keep in preschool for one more year.

Her first week of school, I'm going to go through all of her toys and clothes. I haven't been able to get rid of a thing in months because she's ridiculously attached to everything.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My one friend with a kid that age is so thrilled that she got into day camp for August! It's brutal having to be everything for a little kid all the time.

Thrive to spite them
Today as I was leaving for work a coworker asked me if I had seen all the people upstairs, I said I wasn't paying too much attention.. I know it was busy and at one point there was knot of maybe 15 people, all being loud and I think they were all together or knew each other and none of them were social distancing...
anyway my coworker said "this is the first time I've really been scared".
Most people weren't wearing masks and she saw people coughing and sneezing. Which doesn't mean that they are sick but it's.. I think instead of running aroudn the store touching stuff I just want to be at my register and dealing with that.

I can't believe ltc and Mr. S are five-year-olds. I'd say that makes me feel old, but my own kids have already done that.

We're never going to learn from the countries that have gotten a handle on this, are we?
