My mom fell and had to be taken to the hospital. She's OK, but she has a cracked rib.
I am not having sex with Spike! But I'm starting to think that you might be.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh no, Hil! Your family is not having a good holiday.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, Hil, how miserable on top of everything.

What is even happening?
Oh my goodness, Hil.

I know that she was planning to go to Boston for my aunt's funeral (probably driving up tomorrow, to attend the funeral on Wednesday), but I'm not sure if she can travel like that with a cracked rib.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no, Hil! Your poor mom.

Oh, Hil that's horrible! I'm so sorry for your poor mother.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm going to lose my fucking mind. After announcing that SFUSD high school students would return to in class learning on April 26th, I just read the fine print.
Only "Focal Populations." What does that mean?
"* Focal populations: newcomer students, students demonstrating limited online engagement, homeless students, foster youth, and students in public housing."
Not Matilda. So it's another five months of solitary confinement for her. And no communication, no clarity. But clearly the strategy is to stall and drag their feet and kill off this school year, even though all the teachers have been vaccinated or had an opportunity to be vaccinated this month.
This fucking school district. NYTimes had a whole article about how FUBAR it's gotten: [link]
Private school applications have gone up 4X. It's literally driving people out of the district and out of the city, and then they won't have any fucking money.

Oh ugh, I’m so sorry for Matilda. This has all been brutal on her.
But I realized the person who set this up it will be 9pm for her and her colleagues. Wtf. That is not convenient for anyone except the one person on the east coast attending. Booo.
It’s the Europeans screwing it up for everyone else and getting rewarded with easy 2 pm call times.
I’m fighting with a project manager right now who doesn’t see why he should “double his work” by splitting the regions into separate calls but thinks it’s totally ok that my west coast people should have to be on a 4:30 am call three days a week for the next six months. (ETA and the Asia contingent at 10 pm or such for the same duration. But it works fine for East Coast Clinton so I guess who cares.)

Separating the post.
Hill, I’m just so sorry for what you and your family have been going through. I can’t imagine. I hope your mom is not in too much pain for long, physically at least.
