See, if the 80 mile drive and 2 flights of stairs didn't already suffice, I'd regard hiding the visiting guy's clothes so he has to wander out into the parents' view in his underwear (assuming he has any) as an excellent way to head off future unannounced parental visits.
It was actually more of a wacky mixup. I thought that, over Christmas, my mother had said they "might" come down on New Year's Day. I never got confirmation, so I figured it was off. She thought she had told me they
would
be coming down. And then I still didn't realize that the voicemail from Connecticut meant they were actually on the way. Oops.
So, I just started playing sudoku, when I realized it's finally after 5! I can leave without concern!
Right on.
Let me state, for the record, how ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS it is that even as a salaried employee, I have to sit here and waste time.
Yo Hec. Has Malinda received any mail recently?

Yes. This. Tho' I am thinking of working from home tomorrow.
Yo Hec. Has Malinda received any mail recently?
From you? I don't know. JZ would know. It's all a blur to me.
Allyson, I'd just be careful not to overcrook or dry out the pork loin cooking it that way. You don't want to lose all the delicious piggy juiciness!
Doesn't that mean it will go out for delivery tomorrow?
God knows. The UPS tracking website tells me that it's still sitting in Oakland, but that it's also on schedule for delivery today. I think I shall console myself for the mostly wasted day by making a ton of cookie dough. Some of which may actually at some future point become cookies. Possibly.

eta: OMG, she got a onesie which was made of awesome last week -- or maybe two weeks ago? It's all a blur to me too. Please accept my shamefaced thanks.
Aw, fuck. Now she's crying again. So much for the cookie dough.
Heh, Hec. You are correct. Seems I snagged them from Shrift.
My collection is more than a little random.
Found out I don't have arthritis! Yay. That what looks like arthritis is ligament scars. Boo. Need to force the finger straight--I can go see a hand doc and have him do it, but I think I'll just load up on pain meds and do it myself on a slow day.
50 Greatest Cartoons as voted on by the animation industry in 1994. What's cool is that they have links so you can watch all but six of them.
Of course, "What's Opera, Doc?" was number one.
I really should better organize my music collection. If only I had a clone I could send to the office.

Cool. I know life is busy over there. Just wanted to make sure it made it.
