It cost us a thousand bucks just to pull the pump up to look at it to see if a screw was loose. But our well was at 850 feet.
Do you know what else has blood in it? Blood.

The problem with rewatching Veronica Mars is it makes me want a psychotic jackass of my own...:)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh man, I feel terrible this morning. And I have a shitload of work to do tomorrow. I would think about trying to work from home, but I don't think I'll have access to the stuff I need. Argh.

To me, it's not a cabin if it's easy to see other cabins/houses. Also, I don't see a fireplace in that one, which is also a cabin-defining component.
It may turn out that I'm as definite about my cabins as I am about my bagels.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleah. Hate losing an hour.

The tiny giggle you heard this morning was me using the DST button on my radio-alarm-clock, trying to imagine the Sony engineers discussing what to do with an extra button slot. I imagine one of them really hates DST.

I "slept in" this morning but I am kind of dreading tomorrow. I know I'll adjust eventually, but those first few mornings in the dark are no fun. ETA: and the DST switch on my alarm clock (which, to be fair, I don't actually use) doesn't do anything anymore. But it's set to the right-ish time today, so I'll worry about that later. Or not.
Sorry to hear that, Jesse. Maybe if you take it easy today tomorrow you'll feel better?
I am not definite about cabins or bagels. I could probably manage okay with Theo's castoffs.

I am hoping today is the worst day! That would be OK. I had tea this morning instead of coffee, since it was so late and I should go to bed early.
I'm all aggravated that I have to fix my stove clock myself, because my alarm clock takes care of itself, and I don't actually have any other clocks up.

I should probably reset the clocks that don't set themselves now while I'm thinking about it. There are four, iirc: the timer the bathroom space heater is plugged into, the thermostat, the one kitchen timer that also has a clock, and the clock radio in the kitchen.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am not feeling as terrible as Jesse I suspect, but I woke up with a headache in both the front and back of my head, and way too much work to ignore it and go back to bed. My husband went back to bed, of course, but sleeping is his superpower.
My kids have become that cliche of the kids who are addicted to technology. They get up extra early in the am to steal whatever tech they can find and bring it to their rooms. So now I've confiscated computers and phones (our phones mind you, they don't have phones yet). Sigh. She wants a phone of her own for middle school, but clearly that can't happen until she withstand the temptation of YouTube at 6 o'clock in the morning.
On the plus side, they are playing beautifully right now and don't seem bereft of their tech at all.
