Brenda, what Jesse said. At least put antibiotic on the scratch. I had to get IV antibiotics last year because of an untended cat scratch that drew blood.

Definitely keep an eye on it. And when did you get your last tetanus, since it sounds like a puncture wound?

That graffiti is way too much for me, and I love crazy prints and bright colors. I suspect it might give StW fits.

Hec, Bury Me Standing is a good book about Eastern European Roma culture, although they conflate some things with overall regional culture. Just in case you are interested in other aspects of Roma culture.

Yeah, that's on my list, smonster. I saw that it was the most recent standard work on Romany culture.

you know, I don't post much, but I feel I have to when I catch up on posts about a graffiti room, spending the whole time thinking it was a giraffe room, and wondering what the problem was. Then I clicked the link and all magically becomes clear.

As you were.

Reaching the ceiling to clean it for a start.

omg

So the big fight Wed night centered on the fact that Math and Science homework were not getting done. fight fight, work out a schedule, tra la la. Things go well thurs, fri, the weekend and mon. TODAY I get an email that the Social Studies grade is now below failing. wtf, child? how is the concept of you must do the work not sinking in?

And I get the email now, an hour after school is out, so I cannot even call the teacher to discuss.

Drug use is looking better and better as a coping mechanism.

So he's doing it with you but not turning it in? We've been there. It's infuriating.

he is now doing math and science with me or with the teachers in the afterschool program. Social studies is now a NEW failing class.

he has made A-B honor roll every 6-weeks up until now. The work in science and math that he was not doing is super duper easy. it's the work the teacher assigns so everyone can have a good baseline grade to pull up bad tests. so infuriating.

Ugh. Come on, mac. This doesn't have to be difficult.

Argh, that is infuriating, msbelle.

Hee, Abby, nice to see you!

So snow day: I put on Borghese Stellare Notte nail polish. Then I put Sinful Glass Pink over it. But it messed with the duochrome too much. Then I bought a clearance bottle of WetNWild Believe Me It's Real, so I put that on as an accent nail. But I didn't like it that way so I painted back over it with Stellare Notte. Then I wanted all of them fixed, so I put Stellare Notte back over everything. So now I have, like, eight coats of polish on. But it's lumpy because, eight coats, and also because my Seche Vite is all old and gloopy.

Should I take it all back off and start again? Or leave it for at least a day so someone other than me sees it at least?

This is my snow day conundrum. Also, if I should go ahead and make the panzanella caprese now even though it's not dinnertime and I'm making venison orzo for dinner.

I would bounce all this off the SO, but he's still allergy sleeping, which may be a problem tonight.
