If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

We are maybe going back in person two days a week as of February 15, or maybe as of March. To go back in person at our school, though, they had to decide that six feet of distance wasn't really the recommendation, and that three feet would actually be fine, because the school is very crowded. Also, at 100% virtual the kids have 210 minutes a week of direct instruction for each class, and in person will reduce that to 135 minutes a week. And the AP classes, or anyone else trying to get through a curriculum, will just have to do their best. They are starting to vaccinate teachers Thursday, but the first people to get shots are the ones going back Feb. 1, which is... three days after their first shot...
Anyway, I ordered good masks and bigger shoes (for the 14 year old) online, and we'll see. Our goal is survival, and graduation for the senior.

and graduation for the senior.
Is the senior planning on college or a gap year or something else altogether?

The senior is not currently in a headspace to make plans. My goal is to get to graduation. We’re working on the headspace part. With a headspace professional.

Oh my gosh. Puppy has been crying (despite painkiller) since 2pm—seven hours of this. His breeder saw me post on Instagram and drove over here 30 minutes to bring me a sedative for him. Which should be such a relief tonight. He just took it—fingers crossed we can go to bed soon!

Gotcha. Right now I'm reflecting on Emmett's experience and looking at this year and thinking about how to finesse a gap year for Matilda.

Casper has not applied to any colleges, so if she goes to school next year it will be community college (which is a fine choice; it’s good.) My preference for her would be to work some and travel some; she needs to develop some independence. But how soon travel becomes a sensible option remains to be determined. She’s also not 18 until late August.

Our wings are not tired.
So much love and compassion for the teachers, parents, and students. As tough as the past year has been for all of us, it would have been exponentially worse if I had school age children, or worse been a teacher. My niece teacher has just had her 4th or 5th regimen change this year. All in person, except children opting to be virtual. All virtual. several days a week virtual, part time in person. The stress level is off the charts. And of course the stress level of the students is also off the charts.
Still no vaccines here. My governor sucks. I've put myself on waiting lists here and there.

Similar to Emmett and Matilda who are both September babies. So he arrived on campus at age 17 and that was (in retrospect) too early for him.
