The Year of Sue is ruined! I missed everything. I missed all the sign-ups for all the committees. I missed the senior panoramic picture. I missed the candlelight ceremony where the seniors light the candles for the juniors. I missed the senior pep rally and the senior spirit rally, and I know those sound like the same thing, but they are not.

Did you remember to ask for the chicken with broccoli to be diced and not shredded? (Yes.) Even though the menu description specifies shredded? (Yes.) Brown rice, not white? (Yes.) Did you stop at the Korean grocery and get the good hot mustard? (Yes.) Did you pick up the low sodium soy sauce from the market? (Yes.) Thank you. (You’re welcome.) …What took you so long?
