The rest of Friday...

elfsThe rest of Friday was equally busy. The two-hour block around noon, I had to drive Yamaraashi-chan back to her school to participate in a school-wide clean-up program, then pick her up. An hour and a half later, I had to drive to Kouryou-chan's school and pick her up from the overnight hike her school had taken her on.
Lisakit and I went out and dug into the dirt pile where we'd left it years ago when we'd dug out the retaining wall, an piled it into the 8'x4' raised bed I'd put up in the north-east corner of the property. We put down some compost, and later layers of topsoil. By then, it was dinner time.
After that, I drove Yamaraashi-chan back down to the city-sponsored middle school dancing. Before that, we had a long talk with her along the lines of "you're not going out of the house dressed like that" and "Do you realize when you talk to boys you're presenting like a mandrill?" Omaha showed her how she leans forward. Yamaraashi-chan was totally squicked by the idea that her body was doing these things against her will. It was time for girl-talk, and I sat and tried to read a book without listening. No such luck. Still, I think Omaha got through to her, and we did manage to get a more demure shirt onto her.
When I picked her up at 10, she was exhausted, and Omaha and I had no trouble convincing her that it was time for her and her sister to go to sleep.
