A day late, because in this never-ending Groundhog Day pandemic life, it feels like every day is the same day.  And for the most part, the date doesn't matter.  Well, that's true for me, but not for Britton!  She's back in school now, and the change has been remarkable.  Not only is she doing better in school, but she's happier.  She's back up to making As (the hardest online class for her was math, because she couldn't ask questions via Zoom) and is making new friends, and all in all, it makes the hard decision to send her back feel right.  She's also enjoying learning the clarinet.  When she went back to school, I knew I'd miss having lunch with her every day, but I didn't realize how much I'd miss hearing that clarinet every afternoon.  Now I get to hear it when she randomly practices, and she's picking it up really quickly. 

Likes:  wearing hoodies, wearing skirts with petticoats, experimenting with fun makeup/costume looks (at home, not for school!)

Dislikes:  not being allowed to pick her seat for lunch (the kids are assigned seats and must stay there due to covid rules), being told that come January she's riding the bus
