the_rckOur DSL connection is really bad today. We're spending more time offline than we are online. Yesterday, I had to make a phone call via our landline, and I almost couldn't understand what was being said on the other end.
Cordelia ended up staying up quite late last night. It was 10:30 by the time she went to bed. She took a very long time showering and brushing her teeth. I'm not sure how she managed to stretch things out to more than an hour. Scott wanted to go to bed, so he wasn't best pleased.
I went ahead and signed up for Not Primetime. I offered nine fandoms. There were another four I thought about but decided I couldn't really pull off. I requested five fandoms. I have no idea which of them have offers. I'll probably look at the sign up summary later (assuming our internet comes back). I'd rather not have to change my requests or offers, but last year my requests went to the pinch hitters and nobody knew my fandoms. I had to come up with a set of requests in more widely known fandoms.
Scott's running two Science Olympiad practices today, one for the second graders at 11:00 and one for the fourth graders at 5:00. The second graders are coming off a Girl Scout camping trip, so Scott's expecting them to be distracted and tired, but they can't afford to skip a week. The Science Olympiad is the 10th, so there are only two practices left, and the second graders have missed a lot of sessions due to scheduling difficulties.
Cordelia thinks she can go down the street and knock on her friends' door now. They planned for her to do it at 1:00 today, so I hope she can. The friend who was too scared to come into our house (after getting stuck briefly in the basement bathroom) has now decided that she can come into the house as long as she doesn't go into the basement. Her anxiety levels are way past Cordelia's. There was one day when she was over and panicked about the possibility of a tornado in spite of the weather being completely clear without even a tornado watch on. Her father had apparently made a joke that she interpreted as meaning that there would be a tornado. Nothing anybody said calmed or reassured her.
