Good job msbelle!!
Matt that is disappointing but perhaps for the best that you don’t have tasty tasty giant quantities of lumpia easily available?
I woke up (on east coast time) at like 9am and my brother in law was like “if we are going for a run we need to go” and I’m like “…I haven’t had coffee yet???” Compromise was reached, I have had coffee and he is at the grocery store and we will run when he is back. Though now I want to digest my coffee.

True, though I would like to have small quantities of them occasionally available. Ah well, at least I know now. Maybe the food truck will be back next year?

Definitely a prerequisite for doing any activity.
I have had coffee (delivered to my room, no less). After I pack up my room and we check out, I will take the girls to brunch where even more coffee will be consumed.
Exciting news: Just found out my Tom Waits book has been translated into Greek!
Bittersweet though because Jacqueline would've been bursting with pride at that news.
Still cool though. It's now been translated into Italian, Chinese and Greek. And there's an audiobook. I guess I should check with my publisher to see if there are any other translations roaming around out there.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
We had perfect weather here for the Open Streets Celebrate Pride street fair in Tarrytown, and now I am lounging at home.
Yesterday was supposed to be Get The Kids Real Bank Accounts Day but the banker we had an appointment with had forgotten to block her calendar and wasn't actually there! So much for the convenience of making appointments online.

What a relief/accomplishment/triumph msbelle!!! Congratulations and I hope you are resting well.
It's been fun just cracking open the world of possibility for Matilda. To get her to think on a bigger scale.
I was thinking this very thing as I worked today. The world that you have opened up for these girls.
When I interned for my counseling degree at the inner-city middle school (which has thankfully been torn down), it just made me so sad that most of those kids would never get the sense that more was available to them. Literally everyone had let them down. They thought that bathroom stalls 'locked' with rusty hangers was normal.
Quite apart from the luxury and privilege, Matilda has a sense of what is beyond her next step and that is a true gift.
