For the older posters here, you know the drill. No struggle sessions, keep it nice.

For the newer folks, hi! I'm Corgi! I made these threads from time to time to see if everyone is doing OK. Got something cool you wanna talk about? Need an ear for venting? This is your space! Just be nice, this isn't the thread for arguments.

I made a down payment for next year's wedding recently, and I've been having a BLAST with the Retroid 3+. I've been going to the bar with the pup the last few days and just sitting with a pint and playing MVC2, Twisted Metal Black, Smash, and Mario. Met another Hexbear IRL recently, that was nice!

Hope everyone is doing well! Remember, you are loved stalin-heart

That's a bittersweet feeling for sure. We went through the same thing last year, sending them to public school after two great years of homeschool; we wanted to give them a chance to learn some social skills, make some friends, and just generally get a sense of what public school is like so that they have that cultural reference point going forward.

If it helps at all, they managed to avoid COVID (thank you, KF94 masks), built some great friendships that have grown outside of school, and got to participate in some fun stuff that they would have otherwise missed. It also gave them a greater appreciation for the fun and flexibility of homeschool.

So: good luck tomorrow and for the rest of the schoolyear! And maybe don't give away all your homeschool stuff just yet.
