Heading home. Tutee and I were both far too distressed to work. She didn't have much anyway

Good. Glad you're going home.

State of emergency declared, National Guard moving in.

A week long curfew has been put in place.

Earlier this afternoon, Bro #1, Bro #3 and I went to Costco.
Not sure what we had all been imbibing, but we got a giant case of the sillies. For ten straight minutes on the way home we kept saying "kapusta", and then howling like fools.

I haven't laughed that hard in absolute ages.

I even texted "kapusta" to Hubby. He didn't laugh.
I don't think he got it.

I knew I should have gone with "studenina".

Been messaging my friends who I used to work with in downtown Baltimore. They are all really sad about what's going on and really nervous. As I am for them.

I had friends that lived in a rowhouse in downtown Baltimore (they moved to Buffalo about twelve years ago) but we spent a lot of time going to concerts at the arena and hanging out at Inner Harbor. IH has always been one of my favorite vacation places.

I like being silly, too, and laughing over inane things.

I was watching the news yesterday, and one of the police officers was saying that there is also an outside influence of certain individuals who came in from N.Y. and Missouri with the intent of stirring up mayhem.

That's always the case anywhere. When protestors blocked the streets in downtown Cleveland they were bussed in.

Yup, same in in our city, too, months ago.

Okay, here we go:
3 people in one room w/DDP, 10 day PH + WP = $5158.38
2 people in another room, NO DDP, 10 day PH + WP = $2712.10

vs
2 people in one King room, free DDP, 10 day PH = $3375.76 x 2

Yup, I'll be stopping in at CAA tomorrow.

You know, I find all your planning amusing. If it was just one and done, that would be one thing. But in the ever-changing landscape of who is going to Disney with you, and who is not going to Disney with you, I read your updated posts and scratch my head, wondering how the heck you keep all this information straight!!

Stay safe and stay home.

Funny I was talking about Jared the Subway dude. Just saw new Jared commercial Subway.

Just heard from aunt who lives in the city. She says they are fine, but drove by the CVS today

Second school says situation is normal. No explosives found.

I would rather squat against a tree than pee in a cup.

Right there with ya sister friend!

I know, but using formula quite often increases the asthma risk, and if I have children, they're already at an increased risk of asthma, especially if I have girls. It runs in the women in my family. Other than my grandfather and one of my mom's cousins, everyone who has it is female, and I'm the fourth generation of females to get it. Great-Grandmother, maternal grandmother grandmother (her daughter), my mother (also her sister), and then me.

Hopefully this is a ways off before I have to think about children, but I kind of like the cat idea...

That is why my kids were on Loma Linda formula. Costs a boatload and a half but worth every penny. I had a standing weekly order through the pharmacy every week. I had it shipped to WDW too when they were small. We got a refrigerator too (before all rooms had them) for free 'cause of the formula.

Let me tell ya, it would have been a bit easier to have an infant at WDW if rooms at that point all had mini fridges.

Now I might lose it.

My cheap gene keeps me motivated.
I look at this way - if I can save $600, that's two Dooney & Bourke bags for me.
@MissM would totally get it.

Why isn't there a channel for watching all the great old sitcoms? What the heck happened to TV Land? It used to be such a great channel. Remember when they even used to play old commercials?

Way way back Nick at Night had great old time reruns also. Miss that.

Baltimore City schools closed tomorrow. Baltimore County has cancelled all field trips into the city for the next week. My school has cancelled all activities in the city. They have asked that we not go anywhere near the city. Those who commute from the city have been given rooms on campus (we have rooms for staff who need to stay on campus during a snowstorm).

Ding Dong Ditch up here is known as Nicky Nicky 9 Doors. That being said, I owe $40.

That all sounds sensible and prudent.
