M melted down for a very long time this morning bc she was frustrated trying to draw a picture of the hanging gardens of Babylon. I have a headache and barely slept last night. Thank goodness for coffee and the weekend that is almost here.

Welp. Our school is closed. For at least a week. There was an outbreak at a local hockey league and two kids got it and brought it to school. Then they gave it to 4 classmates. Then one more case popped up outside of their pod and they shut the school down. They’re encouraging every kid to be tested and they’re hosting a pop up testing site on Wednesday. I mean, this is exactly what they’re supposed to do. But ugh. And this local outbreak is making me nervous for my employees. I’m comfortable that they’re not going to pass it between each other, but if someone contracts it, then I’m going to lose an entire team to quarantine.
Oof. Winter is going to be rough. I just hope that this pre-holiday outbreak will scare enough people into not getting together with extended family for the holidays.

Oh man maple. You guys had been doing so well up there. I have to say the sports are ruining it. MA just shut down hockey and skating. And my neighbor told me about kids teams driving to NH to practice basketball inside without masks. Which isn’t allowed here. But coming back and going to school of course.

The governor only just started allowing indoor sports. He needs to “close the spigot” (using his terminology) on that right now. Apparently, all that he did was prevent new hockey reservations to prevent NH and MA hockey players from showing up for new ice time. No, the problem is here. Shut that shit down. I mean, really, hockey is just the more entertaining version of a meat packing plant (where COVID has been running rampant).

Remote schooling is going so poorly today, it's almost funny.
Edit: current live special is social/emotional health.
I want that special, please.

This is your PSA to start stocking up alcohol and/or egg rolls and ice cream for next Tuesday.

I just got home from early voting (last day it was available, go me). For some reason ever since 2016 my voter registration cards have had my first initial and full last name, even after requesting a new one this summer and triple checking that my full name was entered in all the appropriate spots. So I asked about it a the courthouse today and apparently the reason for it is because my signature on my license is my first initial and full last name and it has to match. HOWEVER, my husband's "signature" is a barely legible first letter of his first name and no last name to be seen and yet his full name is on his voter registration. So I am perplexed and now worried that I think I signed my full name on my ballot and what if it gets rejected? This shouldn't be so complicated.

My voter registration for some reason has an IV next to my name, even though I am definitely not Dramaphile the 4th. I tried requesting a few years ago to have it fixed and nothing changed. My signature is a scribble with my initials as the only legible-ish letters, so I call BS on whatever they told you. No idea why they can't just match your voter registration to the name on your ID. Lots of people in PA are freaking out about mail in ballots because of the Wisconsin decision today, they're afraid PA's acceptance of mail in ballots postmarked by Nov 2 will be challenged, too. I dropped mine in one of the county drop boxes last week.

[mention]milano [/mention] does your state have a tracking site? Yes I think but I handed mine in at the board of elections office so I'm not sure I'd be able to track it? I'll look.
