and there's a knock on the door [OPEN]
It is Tuesday, and Principal Sumner is wearing a skirt. Now, were she, say, Ms Ruiz...that wouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. (Ms Ruiz wears corsets to teach in, come on.) However, this is Elizabeth Sumner, and she doesn't, on a regular basis, do this thing. (Skirts. Not corsets. Although she doesn't do that regularly either.) She wears trousers! Pant-suits! Not...pleated skirt things that she doesn't even remember buying.
The reason for this, sirs and madams, is threefold: the only clean suit pants she had left, she left on the ironing table overnight. Sedge took a liking to them, and so did Vlad...and then what was left of them, Cat slept on.
In short: do not leave your clothes where the household pets will get their teeth into them.
Elizabeth is on her way to her office (in anticipation of making some non-urgent phone calls). That was really all this post needed to say, but then, that wouldn't have been as much fun.
