That sounds very good, beth.

I just made dinner for Noah, 3 batches of food for Grace, washed the dishes, dressed Noah in jammies and boiled eggs in the hour I've been home.

Also, I think my limeades for learning isn't going to fly. I'm never going to get the books I need and I'm feeling pretty disheartened and blue about it.

Which sort of sucks. I have 2 classes of 50 each (no. Really. I was told they would only be out of compliance at 56 to 1). and I was hoping to get the book I need but at this rate No Way. I need some of the social networking fundraising mojo msbelle wrote about.

Because books.

Oh, that sucks. I've been voting every day!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too!

Thanks, Amy and Jesse!

This is how fucked up things are. I can't even get my kids to vote on the site because we can't get to the site at school do the firewall. I could CRY.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It's hard to tell how many votes you need. Or how many projects are awarded funding each week.

I think the top 25 or 30 if I were guessing. Today, the top project has 900+ votes. The 30th top project has 566. I have 349. It just feels kinda impossible.

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

I'm sorry about the limeade, Kat. I've tried to remember to vote when I can.

Flea--as someone with a sister with an online handle, do you ever think of her by that name? I know my sister calls herself by hers in real life sometimes (it's her "I really don't want to know you" name), but I'm surprised to realise how closely I've been attaching it to her.

Annoying guy at work is annoying. He's asked me to lunch. I've never had lunch with anyone. This guy "politely" bitched me out for not replying to an email he sent me a couple weeks ago, so I finally sent him an thank you for him doing a) his job b) something I'd never asked him to do, and his reply was to ask me to lunch. For fuck's sake, dude. I liked it better when you thought I was rude.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sucks, Kat. I get the e-mails to remind me to vote every day, and when I do the number of votes always seems substantially higher than the day before, so I was hopeful. Classes of 50+ students, I can't even imagine.

I just registered to vote, Kat, and signed up to be reminded to vote every day.
