One thing ... "after school ramen"? guess the old malt shop is a thing of the past ....
The malt shoppe equivalent at her Middle School was a Boba shop.
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Our wings are not tired.
So pleased to hear that Matilda has a school finally. Phew, what a relief.
You know what I just started doing that I have discovered I fucking hate? Painting out trim/baseboards. It takes a level of exactitude that is really hard for me to maintain for, like, more than 10 minutes. It also involves a lot of bending which is not great on my back!
We have a tiny doctor who has told DH that whenever he is ready they can both quit their jobs to do house flipping, and he can paint the ceilings and she'll get the baseboards. One day I snapped a picture of DH painting a ceiling and texted it to her with a message that he needed help. Her husband read the message, but didn't look at the picture and paged her at the hospital to let her know Brendon needed help. She called me and we had a good laugh.

Gud, I'm so glad your daughter could share that with you.
Congratulations Matilda on finally getting a new school!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's official - after 25 minutes on hold I was able to confirm and secure Matilda's slot at Wallenberg.
It'll take at least 24 hours for it to propagate through the system, and then she will need to get a class schedule, but she should be taking online classes no later than Thursday.

Yay for Matilda officially having a school.
I officially have a SC license and registered to vote and I'll get my card in 2-3 weeks . Hopefully

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That's such good news, Hec. I hope it'll be a great fit for Matilda.
