'Out Of Gas'
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.
Oh that truly sucks, David! I’m sorry this is costing her so dearly.
She's okay this morning. It's disappointing but she's already shifting focus to finishing her ceramics projects and prom and the Memorial and graduation.
She'd rather be playing baseball, but this does free up four days a week for her. She's just really ready to be done with high school.
Senioritis~ma to Matilda.
That puts the team down to 8 players and they have to forfeit the end of the season. Which also means she doesn't get Senior Night where they honor graduating seniors.
Oh, that is so unfair to Matilda and the other remaining players! What a huge disappointment.
M's baseball journey has been such a joy to witness, it's so disappointing of the universe to screw up the end
Nice moment this morning - when I got on the bus that I ride for 1 stop to get to work from the transit center the driver complimented my top and asked where I got it, and when we got to my stop asked if she could take a picture so she could have her daughter look for it in stores near her. I don't think I've ever had that happen before, it was neat. It's very bright colors. would make a good caftan.

Awww! That's fun. And I'm sure you gave them the brilliant minus-t smile.

I’m sure she is! I’m looking forward to the adventures that await her.
That is a great way to start the day -t
Fun times at work today. I got to take a field trip. We (local government) have become holders of an empty department store space in a declining mall. We were looking at holding a large department training event there and I was part of the inspection group. Man! All my dystopian post—apocalyptic abandoned space dreams.
I really hate that the space is not being already converted into an intake and service facility for social service or into indoor rec space for youth or seniors or trades training space for a community college.
There was a post on a DC blog (Popville) that the Secretary of Transportation (Pete ... however you spell his last name) got the full MetroBus experience, traveling with two small children.

So cool!
Met with Erika, the interior decorator. We'll be starting with a window treatment for the curved windows, and sourcing ironwork that needs to replaced outside.
She gave me a big reality check on whether we could occupy the interior Cupola space. She used phrases like "sistering the joists" and "load bearing" and "shear" indicating that any messing with the structure might require going inside the walls and putting in steel to support it.
That's not what I want to do. Also, as you would imagine, that's not so much decorating as construction, and gets very expensive. I really don't want to mess with the bones of the place.
We'll have a structural engineer over to examine the space and let us know what's possible. "We're in the feasibility study portion of the project" she said.
Also, you all need to remind me that a wasp was building a nest in the attic and I need to take care of that before it gets going.
Don't let me forget!
Pester me until I go after it with Raid!
the interior Cupola space
Meaning not the 1st floor or the 2nd floor, but above the 2nd floor? Is that not open to the 2nd floor?
