I found some things out about… someone that I had known online (and am wishing that Facebook would have shown me these things in the algorithm sooner, or that people would have reached out to me telling me rather than assume that I knew about them and did not care about them), and as a result I chose to unfriend that person, block that person, and excise them from my life… even if it was “just online”. Perhaps the biggest “line in the sand” that I have is abusive contact toward another individual, especially when the person does not take responsibility for their own actions, feel remorseful for them and take active steps toward changing the thought processes that led up to that behavior — even still, it is a deep line in the sand simply for happening. I do not want to surround myself with people who… have engaged in these behaviors or are engaging in these behaviors without the already mentioned remorse and responsibility. For someone to want my trust refusing to divulge this to me is a violation of the trust that I had previously placed in them.

That is all that I’m going to say for now because I want to, and do, respect the person that this happened to.

The kids who attend public school in this district had from Tuesday to Thursday off because of the storm.

As stated in previous posts, Texans can’t drive in this sort of weather, so I was in full support of schools giving snow days (even though we got a lot more ice and sleet than we ever did snow, it still stands) — I didn’t want to hear about unnecessary wrecks on the news. It doesn’t significantly affect us as homeschoolers, although I tend to homeschool on the days that school is in session even though we do technically operate year-round… I could write a completely separate post on that, and I think I will at one point. However, it is worth keeping aware of since a lot of other businesses close when schools aren’t in session. The boys’ therapy clinic tends to close when schools are closed due to inclement weather, which I’m fine with because that doesn’t put us on the road in a state where people can’t even drive in severe rain…

Everything here is closed due to the winter storm, and it will be closed tomorrow as well.

I’d be surprised if anything opened up on Thursday though given that we’ll get snow then and Texans historically can’t deal with this weather. It’s more to keep people safe on the roads during this kind of thing…
