Snuck was considered nonstandard or colloquial for years, but it has sneaked its way into standard usage in many dictionaries. I use both.
I hope you got some sleep, ita! Between chemo side effects and assorted pains, my sleep has been a mess.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Brilliant blue skies, cuddly cats and coffee.
But pouring another cup of coffee is a core workout when reclined and being a catbed...
I am getting my place ready for surprise houseguests - they had a (small) fire at their house, so I am giving them mine for a week, and staying with my mother. The good news there is that she will be out of town for work for a couple of days. But I basically need to pack for a week, in addition to getting my house company-ready.
Timelies all!
Other than the weekly groceries trip, no plans here.
Dishwasher and washing machine are running, one bed is made, I have given the bathroom a lick and a promise, and did a truly half-assed job of dusting. Luckily, I know these are not super neat people.
Jesse, that's very kind of you!
I've upgraded to eating an empanada while pinned by cats. Doves on the line outside my kitchen window seem to be warming in the sun. And why do I keep hearing jets? That doesn't start again until 2.
I often feel slightly ridiculous that two of us live in this four-bedroom house, so.
Did anyone else hear the puzzle on NPR this morning? Last week's challenge was about taking the first T off a word and ending up with a (phonetic) synonym. Will's answer was twirl->whirl, but apparently more than one person sent in twerk->work, which Will described as "facetious." Oh, Will Shortz -- you better WERK.
Well, that last one was a massive transport prop plane, but I don't think it was part of the air display...been a lot of those lately.
Since I was going away for a week, and I wanted my car taking up room at the mechanic's where he will be properly motivated to search for a replacement engine every day instead of just when he remembers in a hectic work life, I am now temporarily car-less, which will at least save me on gas and the possibility of parking tickets. Plus, you know, motivation to walk places.
Of course, I didn't plan on post-vacation fibromyalgia. Thank goodness for grocery delivery services, though I can put that off for a couple days if I wanna.
