testing liveblogging again (ignore this…)

7:59:21 AM: Packing up my stuff before checking out. Begin paranoid “what did I forget?” nagging sensation…

8:55:00 AM: It’s The Boy’s last day of grade 1, and I didn’t get to see him off this morning. Sadface. My boy will be a Grade two-er when I see him!
