Because books.

Okay, I'm confused -- what if you get more than 2048? I got 3300 and ran out of spaces on the board.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

You got all my on and running-ness, Zen!

Apparently so! I'm terribly sorry.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm just glad to know where it went.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

2048 isn't the score; you have to see the original game, which uses numbers, to see the progression: [link] Two 2s combine to become 4; two 4s become 8; two 8s become 16, etc., etc.

It's hard as hell just to get a 1024 tile (I think I've only done that once), and two 1024s become 2048, which I've never gotten.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Despite feeling like hammered shit, I got a burst of energy and did dishes, organized a few things, worked on loading the bookcases/adjusting shelves, gathering up garbage, and now I have baseball on my tv. My lungs have joined in the "ok, vacation was nice but now you have to pay" club.

I only have 8 boxes of bookshelf stuff left to unpack! CJ has a bunch to do in his room - I swear he is just opening boxes and dumping them out and yet he still has more boxes. I still have plenty to organize but my room, the kitchen, living room, and "office area" are pretty well functional.

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

I think the thing with Marshall saying only good things about his crappy job was meant to prepare all of us for how to talk about the HIMYM finale. So I'll just say, thank god that's done and I never have to watch another one ever.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I don't even know what the dynamic is. It's not give and take, necessarily.

The Readers Digest version goes like this. It's a day off. She wanted to spend time together. I had committed to going to an award ceremony where Grace got an award at 10:30 in the AM (which screws up your day). Noah got an award at the same thing last month, but didn't inform us until AFTER so we couldn't attend. She thought it was crap to go because we didn't go for Noah (confused about that logic) and that it was taking up too much time in the middle of the day she wanted to spend together. Even though going to this thing would have been us spending time together. Just sort of sucky time.

I mean, she's our DAUGHTER and she was thrilled that I was there. It took 30 minutes. But it caused a fight of epic proportions.

I want to say, stop being jealous of the kids and get over it. They require a lot of time and effort because they are KIDS.

Being jealous of work is a little more defensible, but it's the only area of life where I feel like I have a locus of control.

So yeah. I have three things that take up all my time -- family (K included), work and my health problems. Blargh.

Ha!

ETA: that was to Jess. Your stuff sounds difficult, Kat. Kids and relationships are outside my scope at this time, but you have my sympathy.

Aw, Kat. I'm sorry. That stuff is so hard to balance.

Just watched HIMYM on the west coast here--I didn't have any problem with the dead part, but a huge issue with other things.

I felt like the dead part was pretty well telegraphed a few weeks ago. The Barney Robin divorce? Not ok. Barney as dad? Weird. But the Ted going back to Robin? No. Just no.
