Current Mood: A bit apprehensive. And disappointed.
Today was Dearest Son's first day in Third Grade. It didn't go well. His bus was a half-hour late dropping him off at day's end, meaning he'd been riding for well over an hour. Amazingly, he was picked up about normal time from last year, about 6:45, so I'm hoping that's the ‘unofficial' time. Like last year. They called late yesterday, saying we should be ready for pickup at 6:35...which is what they told me last year. This is why I don't get very upset when it comes to his school - things always end up about the same, no matter what I'm told when the year begins.
Once he'd arrived at school, he got separated from his class after morning assembly, and he panicked. Poor guy. He had to calm down at the Resource Teacher's office for a while, but he came home happy, if tired. If that's the worst of this year, I'll count myself overwhelmingly lucky and blessed. He told me his classmates loved the Wall-e shirt I made him.
I got the last of the trash out, and most of his closet emptied. There's a bit more work to do, but we had pouring rain last night, and my breathing got hard fast, especially hauling bags to the Dumpster. I'm just glad either Dearest of Beloved Hubby left the wheelbarrow out front, it made things much easier.
Got laundry done, and puttered a bit. You'd think I'd be all over our new TV, or I'd embroider or play or shop - something. Nope. I mostly did housework and cleaned up the yard while waiting for the afternoon bus. I could have gone out, but my wallet's mostly down to change, so...
Oh, and while our fiber-optic TV is playing well, without locking up or otherwise having fits, our DVR (i.e., Tivo) is glitching big time. It won't play back anything, even stuff that played back before. So, after the eighth time we had to restart the system, I made yet another all to AT&T. We have a tech coming out tomorrow. (sigh)
