Dun ta duh! She finished her math test! She has exactly six minutes to eat pasta before PE class starts.
She had to re-do the final problem seven times before she remembered "Run Over Rise" on her coordinates calculations and sorted it.
We're taking a moment ... and we're done.

What is even happening?
I told my mother I didn't think it was a good idea for her to eat here on Thanksgiving. She only lives a few miles away, so if it's not raining, we'll mask up and hang distanced in my yard, either before or after the meal. My oldest son is coming for dinner. He'll have been quarantining for 2 weeks by Thanksgiving day, but will get tested just in case, over the weekend.
It came down to shopping. I couldn't get everything we needed delivered, so my husband had to go grocery shopping today. If he got tested, in time to get the results before Thanksgiving, the test would have to be performed too close to the possible exposure to be reliable.
I made the call, but I feel terrible. My mom lives alone. My dad is gone. Her siblings are gone. My kids, DH, and I are it. But we can't be the ones who expose her. I couldn't live with that. Mom was in agreement. It's not like there was a fight, or even hurt feelings. It just sucks.
She was then going to go shopping and pick up a turkey breast to cook for her dinner. After I finished banging my head against the wall, I talked her into letting us pick it up. I figure I'll make her a pumpkin pie, too.
I am furious at everyone who couldn't get it together (or break through the cult programming) to just chill at home.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
...can't be the ones who expose her.
I have said the same to my own nearby relatives.

I got kittens, 8 wks. Thursday.
I’ve been following along but barely faking being human, so no words. Saved what I had for a void unlikely to respond & cat pics.
Anyway, so yeah, a sandkitten and a greybie werekitten (weirdest coat) & I think I need a name for the werekitten... P&L are 75% clueless, I think? Hinked, but right now passed out as normal.

Herding cats for fun

Yay kittens! I’m finishing Queens Gambit, and once again hoping against hope the puppy will let me sleep tomorrow morning and tonight.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh Cindy, I'm sorry, it's difficult. And I understand. The smarty-pants parents of mine decided to counter-back now with the "we're going outside here and there anyhow, the chances that it'll be you that will expose us are minor" argument, so it might be a good time to return screaming at them for COVID denial. There are not enough whys on Earth.
I'm in awe of Matilda.
And yay, kittens!
