The EPIC WIN Thread 3: SON OF EPIC

Dei

Dei

Um, I just had a parent teacher conference where I didn't dread talking to any teachers, they all said my son was doing well, that they loved him, that he always answered questions at a level above what they were looking for, and the only slightly negative thing was that he wasn't getting all his work in for his AP class, but some of that is just executive functioning/not turning it in, and quite frankly, he's not the only one struggling with that since it's a freshman year AP course.

Of course, talking with his case worker is a whole other level of sadness, when you ask her about their transition to adulthood stuff, and she tries to say positive things while clearly spelling out in subtext how badly her hands are tied by school administration. *sigh* But at this point I've come to expect it (sadly).

Update to my update. I'm married! Yay! I'm a couple weeks behind again, but at least this time I have the excuse of having been on a honeymoon and then delving through the backlog at work.

FYI, Disney Cruises are pretty great. Fortunately, we made it before the hurricane came barreling through.

I can't believe I'm posting this in this thread. Just got back from my comedy gig.

I fucking KILLED IT!! I - Dave - just did an hour-long comedy show by myself and the audience loved every bit of it! There were a few down times, but each one of those was when I was setting up the next joke so it was supposed to be that way.

Bet set I've ever done. I'm back, bitches!

I f[our score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.]ucking KILLED IT!!

Thank you, sister mine! Thankyouthankyouthankyou! The cleaning person she hired to clean the downstairs has worked a miracle in just a couple of hours. The place is clean! It's ORGANIZED! I never knew where to start, so I didn't. And it was causing me no end of anxiety. One less worry before mom comes home. With it clean and former obstacles out of the way, it will be much easier for her to get around down there. YAY!
