My kid just called me on speaker from her car with three of her classmates to tell me they had to leave the basketball game because the principal said there was a threat and they had to evacuate. We had what turned out to be a bomb threat earlier this month. I am so fucking tired.

My kid goes to school out of district. She's been in IB since kindergarten; it is truly an amazing program. Tonight the high school is having IB night to discuss the program w/potential students and parents, and my kid is one of the kids they invited to speak. I never cease to be amazed by my kid.

ICE are running around in the streets using facial recognition on random people and telling anyone filming them they're a domestic terrorist and Democrats solution is to equip every ICE agent with their very own body-worn surveillance camera

We might get snow this weekend, so I have placed a Clicklist in order to replenish our storm snack supplies.

The stay in and hunker down when it is cold tendency is strong in me. My Mema was from Minnesota, but the rest of my people are delicate, Southern fleurs who can't tolerate the cold. The high this weekend is going to be in the 20s and I have the urge to go to the grocery tomorrow and stock up.

Today as I was about to log off I remembered I agreed to do overtime. My No Buy January is going great except for the $790 in medical visits that aren't covered by insurance.

I thought that since The Teen had committed to a college that the Case Western Reserve flyers would stop. Apparently I was wrong. One arrived today!
The Teen is cleaning her room. She hasn't kept every flyer that was sent to her, but she has kept a lot of them since she began receiving them in earnest in August 2024. She has received no fewer than 24 pieces of mail from Case Western Reserve University. Tulane, Rollins, & Rhodes also sent a ton.

It is 27° and feels like 16° but at least the sunset didn't start until 6 PM. That is something!

The satin rouleaux that trim many an #1820s evening dress are so beautifully chunky. They represent so much labour, hand making the long robes of satin before applying them in loops around the sleeves and hem #MarylandHistoryCenter #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

I have laid out my clothes for tomorrow. I finished two books today. I get to WFH tomorrow, which I am super psyched about. I am going to grab a shower and wash my hair so I can sleep as late as possible tomorrow morning!
