I ran out at lunch w/Jen to get a frame for the painting of Scottie, and found a perfect pristine one for $2 at Hope. Score! I picked up Tommy from LG Swim and Racquet tonight, then we snagged Lauren, and it's sounding like tomorrow AM w/include a similar round for drop-offs. Stuck to the plan to constrain eating out and that worked out well. I got annoyed to find that Lauren broke my iPhone SE screen (minor but still…) and got pushback from them for being 'a downer' when it's clear she's not treating it with more responsibility. Also, apparently, Tommy and his mom had a fight and squirtted water at her out of frustration with her, and she turned around and as I had foreseen put the blame on my and saw fit to direct me to not encourage or support him having done so. As if I actual would do that! Infuriating and infantile accusations, considering he called me right after and told me and my first response was that it was unwarranted, should never be done and he should apologize. So I didn't need to be told how to handle it or have it implied I'd encourage it but that' par for the course with her. Anyway I finally started listening to "The Death of Santini" by Pat Conroy. I am once again floored, and inspired, by his writing. I'm sending a recommend to Marissa. Hoping she and Nigel come down soon.
