{{msbelle}} I wish there was something I could do. May it be much, much easier on the both of you. And I wish you could get some peace back to your life and routine.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh msbelle, so sorry for the craptastic day. I have days like it too, when I know I need to let go whatever it is, but the little imps keep on pushing all my buttons.

I wish I had more to offer you than empathy. You are an amazing woman doing an amazing job. Is there some kind of treat you can give yourself later to help you get through pick up and homework?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ah, msbelle, I hope he's calmed down by the time you pick him up.

Shir, it just seemed a little harsh, I guess. He's not asking you to marry him or be his best friend. I'd hate for someone to write me off for something like that because of a typo I missed. Like Spidra, my hit to miss ration is less impressive as I age, and I'd hate to have it held against me.

That having been said, I do spellcheck profiles, etc. But I also see too many emails that I swear I've read and reread that went out with errors like that.

msbelle, I hope that tonight goes more smoothly and conflict free.

I'm a crap speller, especially if I'm on my iPhone. I wonder if something autocorrected the band name.

In other news my donors choose grants got funded, both of them because a California-based non-profit funded all open/live grants in California in the Donors Choose system today. [link]

SO AMAZING.

I am writing two more grants. MAybe they'll be ready for the blog challenge?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Maybe he was on an iphone and it auto-corrected Whigs to Wings?

msbelle, forgot to tell you: I was mistaken and my parents did not have supplemental mental health insurance. My dad suggested contacting your local NAMI chapter for guidance (and maybe a support group?).

Lunch out on the first day back - good way to ease back into the work routine.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Don't forget McKean's law.

I am watching the oddest House Hunters International. I think they literally hired actors for this one! (Also, why is the American handyman show judged by Canadians?) I watch too much HGTV.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I do not spell well.

My grammer is iffy

my typing worse than both. I could make that kind of error quite easily , and never notice.

msbelle take it easy on yourself. A lot of homework is annoying and stupid -- but it has to be done. Honestly, the average 2nd grader is likely to do this . so try and forgive yourself and mac. Hoping things went smoother than expected

Hey, awesome, Kat!

The iPhone autocorrect feature has caused me to send some very strange texts, indeed.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Ugh. I have an unhappy GI tract and ended up coming home at 11 to work from the sofa. And within 10 steps of the bathroom. It's probably something I ate yesterday. I suspect the home made chicken noodle soup, which is extra sad as there's quarts of it left.

I hope things are calmer this afternoon, msbelle.

Hiya smonster and amyth! I love that you have a vicar, amyth. It makes me think of tea and watercress sandwiches and murder mysteries with surprisingly little violence (except for the one requisite murder).
