YAY MATILDA!
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Matilda!! That sounds awesome.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The younger never had a 'cutest' designation, that I remember.
Ah, that's what I was failing to remember: whether those names were the first kid, or both kids, or anyway: hooray for two daughters!
And hooray for Matilda having a damn fine school (and nearby, and with a cool name!)

What is even happening?
I think that made the difference BECAUSE WE GOT AN OFFER!
FANTASTIC! I hope Matilda is happy. What an ordeal for all of you.
Now I've got to find my scroll of things that need fixing and get to it.
This fist isn't going to shake itself. ;)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Is Matilda happy with the school?
Reasonably. The reality is that after going to school with all her same cohort of friends from K through 8, they are scattered everywhere in High School. But one of her good friends does go to this school, it's easy to get to, and it's close to Japantown (for after school ramen).
They do have a digital media class, and after school club, as well as a club that coordinates with the local Fashion and Design institute. And the aforementioned softball. This school has a good record of placing kids in the UC system.
The short answer: It's good enough.
The reality also is that she hates online learning and it's very difficult for her. So this is (hopefully) just something they have to deal with this fall.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I suspect it was Topic!Cindy's shaky fist that finalized the deal on Matilda's offer. I'm so glad there are many good aspects to the deal you got!

Congratulations Matilda!
Congratulations Gud Daughter II!
She's doing well, though maybe a little frustrated that she has a difficult time passing as female because of her voice and appearance.
Some clothes from eShakti might be nice - they have a custom measurement option that works well for women and girls who have a-typical proportions.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yay, Matilda! Good school, close by, with a friend, and a club she'll probably enjoy - that's a jackpot.
I forgot to take my medicine last night, and this morning I'm up and functional two hours before I normally am. However, correlation is not causation.
