Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No! Jesse! Don't give in to hugging. AVOID THE HUG.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I did the Google Doodle! That was fun!

Amen!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am sitting by the fire with a glass of port, dog not at my feet but lounging nearby. Feels like an unlocked achievement.
You've set the tone now, Jesse. I hope that works out for you okay.
After I did the Google Doodle I thought I'd share it on Google+, because, I don't know, seemed appropriate but I couldn't just click on "share with all circles" or even one circle or, well, anything, so I didn't.

Because books.
I started the Google Doodle, then we trimmed the tree, and now I have on It's a Wonderful Life. Sniffle. And now I can finish the Google Doodle!

I have just hit a new level of can't even.
Guess whose sewer line got slow while DOING LAUNDRY. GUESS. GUESS WHO IS LEAVING TOWN TOMORROW.
At this point, I'll call them tomorrow and see if I can schedule for when I'm back. I don't even know. It was completely fine (2 loads of laundry before this! Showers!) this past week. Good thing I'm paranoid and was keeping an eye on it and caught it before it was too bad. I was able to route the washer line out the back door using the shopvac tubes for the last two rinses.
I need to vacuum. I kinda don't think that's going to happen tonight. Just packing.
My home warranty is going to have paid for itself for all the years it didn't, I suspect.

Oh sara, that's just awful. Sorry!
I'm TIRED. Can I have all the sleeps please?

Argh, sarameg! Yay home warranty, I guess. My folks just had emergency sewer line repair this week and found out the junction near the street is NINE FEET DOWN. Madness. Fortunately, the problem was closer to the house and only three feet under.
I award all the sleeps to Kat. I can make more for me later.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'm now wondering if my older brother has been sleeping in my room, because my parents don't have a guest room, and my mother sleeps in the living room on the couch a lot for various reasons. I hope the house is dry for the duration of his stay. I also wish, in light of their enabling, that they had come up with some excuse for his presence, or put his ass up at a motel and lied to me. I tried disowning his ass two decades ago and mom got mad at me for hurting his feelings. I've been content with our brief thrice yearly phone calls and abbreviated physical visits. Being in the same house for three or more days is going to be awful/awkward.
