Well, sorry one lady, anyway: [link]

I didn't screw mine in last year, but this year when I tried to put it in, it was all too much, and I was afraid I couldn't get it on right. So then I got out my cordless drill and was determined to do it Right, and completely failed and couldn't reach anything or fit it to where the previous people did it, or anything! So now I just have no A/C and bought a fan instead (luckily in Seattle that's usually good enough--but since my office is on the 4th floor of my house, sometimes it's not!)

I am a perfectionist in a messy house. I need to remind myself to let go of the perfectionism every day

I totally get it--I have a hard time disconnecting my give-a-damn, sometimes--especially for work. But sometimes you just have to.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

We never used to properly mount our window AC units until we had kids and got paranoid about it. If you have metal window frames, you'll need a drill bit that can bore the holes for you, but once that's done it's REALLY easy to put in the screws (or take them out if you don't want the AC in the window all year).

Burrell, that sounds awful. I hope you're feeling better this morning!

But I don't have a drill at all. I am not sure I want to buy one to put an air conditioner in! I have lived for 38 years without one!

kids who's what, ten?

Yep, he just turned double digits. One nice thing is that we'll be playing at his own age level next season instead of one higher. The kids he tried out with were mostly his same size.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Sorry the world is stressy. Last week was my big stress week - this week should mellow after today

How can you get by without a drill? You have to have a drill. Making things spin really fast is very useful.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Maybe you get extra points for completing without a drill?

One of the projects in my lap is improving search in one of our applications. I'm looking at the search terms for January alone, and...do we really have to help them if they refuse to spell words right? I don't think that's fair.

I haven't paid much attention to the paleo diet (other than to look funnily at people who tell me it's better because the cavemen did it). I'm assuming that this zero grain lifestyle goes hand in hand with it?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I hope you're feeling better this morning!

Thanks Jessica. I'm trying to blow through my to-dos early, before the sleep deprivation hits in the afternoon.
