went up the Eiffel Tower
I thought it was totally worth the wait and the price.
Who was the real power? The Captain? or Tenille?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Aw, Jesse.
So my neighbor offered me a small piece of good dark chocolate as I was on the way to the pool. And I swear I had a sugar crash 30 minutes into my swim. I haven't had a slog like that in a while. Slow,sure, but getting through by sheer will? Uhg.

I have to take Grace to UCLA for a sleep study tonight. The 405, one of the major freeways, is partially closed. I am supposed to be there at 8:30. DO NOT WANT any of this.
Man, I'm tired already.

Parenting just plain sucks sometimes. It really shouldn't be this exhausting considering the ages of my kids.
Been a pity party kind of night. So instead of worrying about the dishes, boxes to pack, packed boxed I can't move, and so much else, I'm working. The one thing I can do without needing someone else.

Sometimes I think it gets more exhausting. The older they are, the more serious the mistakes they can make, you know?
Downton Abbey was, as usual, my cathartic crying moment of the weekend. Whoo.

Quite true. At least KCD and B back me up with the current crap. Not that they haven't before, but it is that reassurance that I'm not nuts.

You're really not. And I'm glad they're supporting you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Eiffel Tower, woo!
My parents and I installed the laundry sink in the garage that they are giving me for Chanukah. We have been trying to find time to shop for one, etc., since Thanksgiving and today was the day. I fell on my old one at one point and broke the basin, although not so badly that it was unusable, and it was always precarious in the sense that a slight nudge could make it drain all over the garage floor, which was very bad as the washing machine drains into that line. I got pretty good about checking all the plumbing connections before every load of laundry, but that was a PITA. The new sink not only is not broken and drains smoothly, it's bolted to the wall and has a cabinet for tidy under sink storage. Pretty sweet! And we got it all in place and working in one day and only three trips to Home Depot, which none of us really expected.
Then I had a Moscow Mule at dinner, which was tasty but way bigger than I expected. Pretty good buzz going on right now.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Eiffel Tower is very cool, Jesse.
I am so beat. Spent the day over at my sister's apartment, which needed to be done. Wasn't fun, but needed to be done. Ugh. Got at least another month's worth of work there.
