I am so tired from watching that.

Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I'm just glad they put up a fight in the second half.

Better than it could have been, certainly.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Dear god, this job is gonna kill me. Is it a bad sign that I just opened a bottle of hard cider because wine felt like too much effort?

It takes a lot more coaxing than you'd think to get the dog to eat a tuna fish sandwich. (Unless you've met her, in which case it takes exactly as much coaxing as you think.)

Oof. Hooray cider?

Got and installed my moisture alarm. Also got mats to go under the workbench and got them there. Ultimately went with a closed foam cell rather than open-weave (think playroom foam mats rather than lockerrooms) because while I'll need to wipe them down if water comes up, open cell would gather so-much-crud. This protects the bench, which is what I wanted.
Also managed to do my shopping in a downpour, swim, clean upstairs and run an extension cord across the basement rafters from the good (and one of only 3, all of them by the back door) outlet to the other side where the workbench is. Also will be so much better than stringing extension cord across the floor (especially when I need to shopvac water!) Attached them to old pipe mounts where available and stapled in zip ties where not. And I even got a 90 minute nap in there! Cats pinned me while I was listening to Radiolab, and I drifted off to very odd imagery (the topic was blood and Loki was heavy on my chest, so...) I really think I might pull some pipe tomorrow. My ceiling down there is a mess of disconnected lines. But is it messy, dusty work.
Still have to clean the first floor (it's a mess, especially since I unpacked the workbench in here, bobbits of styro everywhere) and go look at some replacement drawer handles. And more staplegun staples. And a wall hook to hang the last loops of cord nicely. But I think that was enough industriousness for today.

I drink a lot less wine than I otherwise would for just that reason.

Wine is not only too much work, but also too much commitment. A bottle of cider is less than half the number of ounces of wine.
May you not have to shopvac, sara. That can be wishful thinking, huh?
