I took T. to martial arts and Vic’s. Vic’s was _crowded_ — feeling like we are pretty close to pre-pandemic levels, but of course we aren’t, really, because there was always a crowd packing the foyer when we left back then.
I did my 3rd quarter estimateds. I did some sales over the last few weeks, as part of preparing for costs once the house building exercise ramps up over the next few months, and sales means taxes. A little bit eye-popping, honestly.
While I was in my office, I did some filing. I also caught up on laundry.
Also, I got A. through the shower.
Also, I got A. caught up on her homework. I think she had 6 missing assignments, which given that she’s only _had_ 6 and one half days of school so far, is utterly insane. They are all some flavor of, Tell Me About Yourself. One had a grading box, which was, put your name in this spot for 1 point, put this title in this spot for 1 point, put a picture of yourself for 1 point, put 10 things about you for a point, with pictures, for a point. I looked at that and said, ya know, just turn it it for the 3 points and call it good enough. Anyone who produces that kind of a grading scale has Earned It. If 5% of the effort will get you 60% of the grade, you know what to do. It’s 7th grade; no one gives a shit about your grade anyway (well, someone does, but we also don’t care about whoever that might be).
