Thx! I haven't been around much either. I texted him cuz I have more of his mail. He called me the following a.m. Don't know why the 12 hour delay time. But he seemed annoyed, had his tone of voice I heard him use with clients, was brief. It sounded like he's not happy. He wanted to come 4 it right away, but I was leaving the house. Told him I'd let him know if Mon worked. Which I didn't. I'll just wait to hear from him again I think. I peeked at his horoscope again. It said that he's become frustrated with a platonic relationship that he'd like to turn intimate. It said he wants to have sex with this person and he should act on that desire or he would become irritable with the person. Of course I want to interpret that as being ME and that he sounded cranky about the mail because he has to speak to me/ see me again and it's hard for him. Well, I can hope that's it. Why not?
I barely got a break from the apt searching and now I'm on to the high school search. It's just unbelievable. Some have a special test to apply, others have a different test then the specialized test. Some want essays, some transcripts, some portfolios, some auditions, some interviews. .... I have to apply for the specialized schools separate from the regular schools. This is a complex and particular process to get through. Then by mid Nov. I have to submit an application for 12 regular schools and have completed all 12 school's application requirements. Currently I have only 4 acceptable schools on my radar, aside from the special schools. There are over 2,000 and I have to tour enough of them to find another 8. If you don't choose 12, the algorythm won't work and you won't get a placement. Can you believe!? My schedule is full. My daughter has studio dance prep 3x wk before school to prepare for dance auditions, she has 2 2hr tutoring sessions every wk to prepare for the SHSAT test, she has a portfolio bldg class 1x wk, and 1x wk a class to prepare for visual arts programs, & is writing essays for a number of schools which require these for admission. This is like a full time job! It's really intense. People have warned me for years about it, I thought I was ready. But it's so intense & so crazy & way more than I imagined. The competition into the better schools is daunting. Like a school might have 2400 applicants for 120 places. It makes me wonder how many kids get screwed just because their families don't have time / inclination / ability to manuever through this process.
So that's what I've been up to. Don't have much time to dwell on my defunkt r right now.
