I will now hear this thread in the Swedish Chef's accent FOREVERZ.

Oh, Sox. I'm sorry.

OMG, they're still using the chainsaws and woodchippers next door! Three days in a row, WTF? It's right outside my office. I called in sick; I can't fucking take this anymore. And I was up until 3am so I haven't had any sleep. My poor cats are just hiding.
At 8am! I'm wearing earplugs and I can still hear it! Argh.
Oh, Sox. I'm sorry.
It's mostly ok. She had dinner with us last night, slept over, and is hanging with HKF for the day (they've already not left the house or been able to get to anything that lets me off the hook from answering questions like "how do you make sushi? Can you tell us RIGHT NOW?"). But this makes her happy, and once they do get out of the house, I can work, or put on music really loud.
I'm being really good, mostly. As in, I've just been going along as normal, and ignoring comments made in front of/to DH like "She just has to get all her zingers in, doesn't she?" and (after I joked I was surprised that a friend hadn't throttled her son and husband), "Why do you feel the need to use such violent language all the time. [looks at DH] It's very worrying, isn't it? I remember when you were one year old and I was in the grocery store and saw a woman say to her kid "be good or I won't love you anymore' and I just can't imagine why people speak that way to one another. Why would you do that? I'd never tell a child of mine that I didn't love them because of their actions...."
So, situation normal again. I am practicing my bene gesserit face.
Happy Anniversary, bt and Wallybee!
Oh, Sox. Vibing you buckets of Zen. Nobody should have to put up with that in their own house.
Today's Google logo is in honor of Houdini. It has a cool-ass font.
Ohhh, a thread I can catch up on. (I'll work on finishing out the other thread eventually)
So, we are home after a great trip. I woke up this morning all snotty, but at least that held off until after the trip. Sparky and family were great hosts and little Miss is adorable. Vortex and Bonnie - thank you so much for making time, it was wonderful to see your bright faces.
I have been posting pictures on FB, I may have a few I hadn't posted as they were taken, but most of the trip is chronicled there.
I'm trying to catch up on work...not fun.
