This and That

Wow Lighter what a deluge, practical problems, physical problems, flashbacks, that poor chap at the skating rink and DD ending her first bf. It wore me out just to read it all. I have no idea why sometimes a whole host of crappy things comes at the same time but I do know that numerous small things in quick succession are very stressful and tiring to deal with. Do you need to see someone about your finger, if only to get it wrapped up securely so it can heal but still be protected from being knocked (I find it's not until you try to avoid a certain part of your body that you find out how often you use it in a day). It sounds horribly painful. And as for your ex and those nurses - I am happy to come and slap each and every one of them for you. What disgusting behaviour on all of their parts.
I hope the practical stuff gets sorted and that DD is okay after her break up. I hope the guy at skating is alright, it's such a long way to fall!
And yep, I'm with Hops - sometimes it's okay to look at the sky and shout to the Universe - "You're an arsehole!" It might even make you feel a bit better ;)
Sending fixing, healing, soothing vibes your way. I hope things get resolved (and I hope those nurses learnt something valuable from that shitty way they treated you that day) xx

DD is mortified in the way awkward teen girls can be. We talked about how the boy would likely react today, but DD said he can be inconsistent. Last night he forcefully took her hand and wouldn't let it go during driver's education class....like 3 hours. She said she used his sweat as lubricant to finally extricate, and oldest DD took her physically away to another seat near her.
The school is on lockdown with law enforcement on campus after a concerning message on the internet. Not sure what that's about. I don't know when that happened....in the last hour, but after drop off. Please God, let it be a prank.
I don't know how boy will behave, but he was snarky and short in final Instagram post last night. DD plans to ignore the break up, and not talk about it. If he does the same, not likely, this might fade into friendship again, which is her hope.
I sprayed oxyclean all around washer area and will deal with it later today. My finger us the only thing slowing my roll, but it's healing well..... I keep antibacterial Band-Aids in place....think of your index finger with a cone....like pets get. I want it dry and healing, not moist and popping open over and over. I might switch soon to polysporin,but so far so good as I found one latex finger balloon thing for showering.
I hope the boy doesn't do something desperate today. He had desperation coming off him last night. It wasn't good.

Update on school situation....switching to a "soft lockdown" according to law enforcement who remain at school entrance and exit.
Kids will change classes, like normal, but everyone on alert. Parents told not to go to school.

Lighter the school situation terrifies and horrifies me in equal measure, I hope that this situation is resolved quickly but also that a more permanent and meaningful solution is found to stop these things from happening at all. Those poor kids.
I'm glad your finger is healing up; fresh air's always best but not always practical so I'm glad you've got a little finger hat to wear. Hope all the other things are coming good as well.
And DDs (ex) boyfriend - I know how rejection can bring out the worst in someone, particularly teenagers (and some adults who still react like teenagers). I think ignoring it is the best and only reaction for now - any kind of contact or interaction will fan the flames and elongate the problem. You have wise kiddos :) Kudos :) Let us know when they're out of school okay xx

I drew a smiley face on my finger cone..... it's good.
The school lockdown is over a suspended student, not sure what grade, making threats to another or other students. I have to admit I was relieved no ex boyfriends were involved.... there are 2 in my dd's group as of yesterday. Both boys are the desperate type, but you don't want to think they're the threat making type, kwim?
DD15 will absolutely handle her day, and the boy to the best of her abilities. She's very competent..... very stoic. Can hold her position when everyone else is losing their heads. Tends to make things better, not worse.
The dog just horfed up 2 piles of half digested food. Must clean them and run an errand.
Thanks for chatting, Tupp. It helps.
