I favor having a VP of Places and VP of Things, then they could all have a theme song: [link]
Giles: Stop that, you two. Riley: He started it... Xander: He called me a bad name! I think
it was bad; it might have been Latin.
'Selfless'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Mrs. Kaplan (elementary school teacher) said that the song misses one concept: ideas (happiness - not a "thing that you can show", still a noun). I would like to be the VP of Ideas, please and thank you.

And the somewhat more active Verb Department?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, poor Matilda, and poor her parents!
I'm glad ltc is OK!!
I am proud of myself for realizing that getting a covid test today in preparation for Easter with family means I can't run errands on Saturday. So I just ordered candy from Target to be delivered. Phew!

Going for the final walk through of the old apartment at 10a, yay. Other than, you know, the cats having destroyed part of the cheap ass carpet they have there. Meh.

Whee, JenP!
Upon reflection, I think I would prefer to work in Conjunction Junction

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I found the whole "I'm only a bill" song to be very helpful when I first started working in DC.
For a change of pace, what I think is one of the best scenes from Babylon 5.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So there's potential good news on Matilda's summer front. Although, at this point, I expect the gods to just dangle good things in front of her just to snatch them away again.
1) JZ contacted Parks and Rec and they corrected Matilda's status, so she's eligible to apply for summer jobs. No guarantee of getting one as they have more applicants than jobs, BUT they DO have a girl's softball camp and she does have three years of experience. And babysitting experience. And crafting and arts experience. Anyway, I have to pull her out of her jewelry class early tonight because she has to do a Zoom job interview. Not too much pressure for the 14 y.o.
2) We have heard rumors but nothing official yet that Matilda's beloved sleepaway camp may in fact do SOME kind of summer session, especially for the kids like her who would be aging out of being a camper.
If both of those things happened, life would get infinitely for her.
