Timelies all!
This has not been a good week. Mr. S had another major meltdown yesterday which included pulling the fire alarm. He's broken a number of pieces of school equipment(mostly Chromebooks). Gary's meeting with the principal on Monday. Sigh.
Patron: That girl is a witch. Mal: Yeah, but she's our witch.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So...to make my week complete, a girl at Matilda's school has been harassing her, spreading lies about her (you know the kind of lies teenage girls tell) and it's making Matilda's life even more stressed out. She was just talking to her therapist this week about how to deal with her panic attacks.
Apparently one of the girls on the group chat has turned in all of the harassing girls messages, including the fact that she's lying.
Which means I'm going to request a meeting with school officials on Monday, meeting with this girl's parents and go over the legal definition of defamation, with a side order of Cyberbullying.
We'll see how her parents feel about that.

Our wings are not tired.
Poor Matilda, and you! I'm grateful that my boys didn't have to deal with social media issues but just the usual high school crap.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'll have you all in my heart, especially you, Matilda and Emmett, David. But I won't be able to be there, I regret. I'm sure it will be spirit-lifting and wonderful. It sounds absolutely lovely.

I might try the pizza, but the sundae is out of the question.
