Artists should really be held accountable for cancelling shows. There seems to be no accountability for anything at all these days.
She STILL hasn't returned our things. She did text and say she's been busy, and she'll bring them by next week but if I was a betting woman, I'd bet it's because she can't locate some of the missing items. My sister refuses to leave her a bad review because this lady is a friend of a friend. Ugh!
I go back and forth between wanting to move to another place or just staying and dealing and adding on things. Pros and cons of both.

Since it's been a week... have you gotten Chloe's things back yet, Mare? I hope so!!
LOL I knew you would hate someone thinking you were a Trump fan! I set her straight too, but an author's note wouldn't be a bad idea, in case anyone else makes that assumption!
That's unfortunate that your house has an upstairs and laundry in the basement. I'm glad you have your sister to help, but that has to be frustrating for you to only be able to access about a third of the house. But renovations are expensive, and moving is such a hassle, especially when it requires selling and buying a home. I don't know what the housing market is like where you live, but most houses have been selling quickly here... but then it's hard to find a house to buy because anything decent at a decent price gets snatched up as soon as it goes on the market - or sometimes even before it goes on the market.
Steph, that is so weird about the whole tour being cancelled, especially if the artist really had no idea until the last minute. Very sketchy... That sucks about Shawn Mendes, too!
My school year has been okay so far. My class of 26 is exhausting... two oppositional-defiant students that suck up a ton of time and energy, on top of the typical array of ADHD, learning disabilities, etc. It's gotten better as we've established expectations and procedures and settled into a routine, but I can tell it's going to be a long year.
mare:
Nope, still don't have Chloe's stuff back. Like I told Steph, I have a feeling that she can't find a lot of it and is panicking.
Ugh! That does sound draining. Hopefully their behavior will get better as the year goes on. Just one discipline problem in a class can so change the whole atmosphere. Like when that kid is absent, it's SO noticeable.
I think I will be adding on an AN to that one. I might hope over and do that right now, someone has been going through all my old stuff this week. I've been getting random kudos on stories. Not that one though. lol
RokofAges75:
Ugh... like Steph said, I hope you'll leave her a negative review if you haven't already!
Yes, that's exactly how these two are. The atmosphere is totally different when they're absent, out of the room, or actually following directions without disruption... but when it's the latter, there's still the tension of not knowing what could trigger them to start spiraling again.
Ooh, random kudos are always fun! I got a guest kudo on three different fics in one day recently, which is rare, so I assume it was all the same person.
How's your writing been going since finishing your fic and getting back from your cruise? Are you starting to get your inspiration back for your other story? Mine has been slow lately. I had plans the past two weekends, so I didn't have as much time to write as I wanted to, and I'm trying to get stuff done around the house this weekend because I'm going to see Nick next weekend. No complaints there, though!
mare:
Like I told Steph, my sister won't let me leave a bad review because this girl is a friend of a friend and came highly recommended from that friend. It's annoying.
Classroom discipline was always my least favorite thing. I hated it! I would always dread seeing those classes that had a few really hard kids in it and would just be elated if one of them were absent. Regretfully, those were also the kids that never missed school. Their parents would send them even when they were sick, which was probably part of the problem. I felt bad for the regular classroom teachers who had to deal with some of them all day long, but then again, the plus to that would also be a constant when it came to discipline. When those kids come to the specials, a lot of them feel like it's a break from behaving. When they go to a special, unless they're in their own classrooms for it, they get to sit somewhere different and usually are engaging in a fun activity which also sets them off. I always did fine with the younger ones but when it came to 7th and 8th, they are like an entirely different ballgame. I don't miss that part of it, that's for sure!
I've actually been doing a good amount of writing. I was able to update my other story this week and I think I'll have another chapter done in time to update again next week. I'm two chapters into my new story and will probably start on chapter 3 right after I click off here. With that one, it helps knowing people are actually looking forward to reading it. I still have no clue what I'm going to name it though. That is seriously always the hardest thing for me. Either I get the name even before I start writing, or it takes me forever to come up with one. Speaking of sequels, do you know how to link the two stories together as a series? I know it can be done but I can't figure out how. I tried to do that with my short stories but had no luck.
Have fun seeing Nick. I think he was just up here in Niagara Falls, but the Canadian side.
Random, but I had really wanted to get to 5,000 on the Invisible Child and was bummed It had stopped at around 4,780. But I've noticed it's been steadily going up. Maybe people are reading to get ready for the sequel? Not sure but it's up to 4,981. I'm hoping it'll hit 5,000 before I start posting the new one. I'm a dork! LOL
