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!)

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. ;)

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.

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!

Yay Matilda having a school!!!

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.

I second Trudy-Yay! Matilda, congrats daughter #2, and eShakti is great AND sells matching masks!

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.

Morning, Zen!

I, on the other hand, was wakeful a lot in the night, and when I got a leg cramp at 5 AM, went ahead and turned my alarm off, thinking that it wasn't likely I'd sleep right through to 7 AM, when my second alarm goes off to remind me to get dressed and ready for work.

And then I did fall deeply asleep, and the normally leisurely time I have to contemplate clothing choices et cetera has to get way sped up...

Congrats Gud on your your younger daughter.

Yay Matilda getting a school.

I need a tiny bit of ~ma to get through he day. I have my DMV appointment today. I also need to get an ink cartridge for my printer because I think that's he only thing keeping it from working right. Otherwise I'll have to get a new printer. I need to send my phone back for warranty repair still and ...I hope it's not a USPS label. I hate saying this but at this point if I send it out who knows if I'll get my phone back ever.
