Good morning! I won't be fleet of foot until payroll is done! I have a desk job. Not tonight either, as I have a dinner with friends. Tomorrow will be a move about day with cat clinic setup and takedown and load/unload to/from storage. (Great exercise).
DD16 did homework and dinner at my house, i.e. the usual. She has been taken out of her Spanish class due to bad grades. She says that the state of NM has a one year foreign language requirement. You can pass a year of classes or place out by exam. She is very dyslexic, I don't know if she will be able to graduate in this state. In her senior year, she will be 18. Perhaps she could go to AL or TX where she has relatives, living with them or in an apartment. She has to graduate. With the dismal rates of graduation in this state, why do they feel the need to make it even harder?
Last night, I got the minimum necessary done: insurance homework, return videos to library, and get ornament for the exchange. There wasn't much time after DD left and chores were done, so I goofed off. No cat fights because L and T are in the MBR and B and C are in the rest of the house. B did not wake me up with yowling because I locked him in the sewing room overnight. I have not figured out why he yowls, just ways to work around it.
I have one of my least favorite Christmas songs running through my head. I had the misfortune to hear it on coworker's radio just before we got out of the car. Why oh why would some artist think that endless annoying repetitions of "ring a ling a ling ding dong ding" would make Jingle Bells into a new song? And what's with Blue Christmas anyway? The background singers sound terrible! I don't hate Christmas music, but I do hate those two.
Today, I must contact Friday's dance teacher and tell her (1) I will not make the next two classes and (2) I do not know the choreography at all and this will not help and (3) consequently, I do not want to do it in the Dec 15 performance. I do want to do the Monday class dance. It's modern jazz/hip hop, something I have never done and not really watched much of. I have no idea why it is easier for me to remember, but it is.
