Thanks so much @NikNik.
You're a peach ! :peach:
That looks amazing !!
I'm with you on that @Shaz51.
What a day !!
Doors closing and Windows opening faster than I could blink !
D3 ended up working from midnight through till 6:00am, recovering from intense pain the day before and sleep deprived, but put in a sterling job on her portfolio ... ✅
By 6:00am she realised she just couldn't finish it in time for TAFE, and her class included a test which she was barely prepared for ... ❎
She had a melt-down, said she was "over everything, too hard, not going to TAFE today, that's it, I quit" ... Stormed off to bed ... ❎
I emailed the school counsellor, receiving a reply a couple of hours later saying D3 should just suck it up and turn up at TAFE anyway, portfolio unfinished and all, cos she would regret it later emotionally if she didn't, and whatever fee was needed for a re-sit of the test and/or extension on the portfolio should just be paid. Onward, upward ... ✅. I agreed !
Woke D3 at 8:30am, unimpressed, unco-operative, ran late, forgot her mood board for the makeup test, doubled back through peak hour traffic for it, arrrgh !! , arrived too late to sit the test ... ❎
The tutor took one look at D3 and said she shouldn't be sitting the test anyway cos she clearly wasn't good for it, but don't worry, she could do a retest in a few weeks time, and hand in all outstanding portfolio and class work at that time, also pointing out that she wasn't alone by far, most of the class had missed the deadlines too. Yay, oh yay !! Dream come true. Game not over ! ... ✅
D1-would-have-been-the-model and I took D3 out for breakfast and laughed and played with her a bit to help pull her world back together ... ✅
Came home and slept for an hour, both D3 and me ... ✅
Dropped D3 at school to sit the test she had missed there yesterday ... ✅
Came home to fall into a heap in front of an early movie tonight with whichever kids are at home, and it's the weekend ! Yay !! ... ✅
anyone else feeling exhausted reading this ??
Enjoy the movie @Shaz51 ❤️
Enjoy the burgers and red wine @cheersquad 😊
Have a good weekend everyone 🌷
