Topix Underground

It's been a grueling couple of days but I have emerged victorious. Once again, I have paid off all my debts. It's the new reality. Now I just have to make it through tonight's dinner concert of this jazz band my daughter plays in...not to be confused with the "symphony" or "orchestra"....I thought they were all the same but they aren't. They all come with their own set of unreasonable demands on parents. It's excruciating to be at these things but this might be the final one until college...where I can only assume it will be longer drives and bigger crowds.  Outwardly, I'm a good parent...but I'm the crying-on-the-inside kind. Anyhow, I have a bag of marijuana gummies to wolf down before the show.
