Also, looks like I'll be getting new ceiling and walls patched sometime in July, sooner if some of his outdoor jobs run into weather. Or he really get burnt out on the bathroom jobs he has lined up. Which is fine, he's affordable and I really liked how he described my options and what he'd do if it was his and why. And it gives me time to strip the baseboards before reinstalling them. And buy paint. I think I'll repaint the ceilings and walls myself to save money. It'll be easier this time, with a smooth ceiling.
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
We've just been given the option of a Roth IRA. I don't have time to brain about it until somewhere around Memorial Day. I'm sorry there's a lot going on. Yay you, though, for realizing that the title actually means something!

Cruz just dropped out of the race. The Republican nom is all but locked up for Trump.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Clinton is going to clean the floor with Trump.

Strange times.
I am trying really hard not to take my shoes off and get comfortable in case my cat contact says to come meet her tonight, but I don't know how much longer I can wait. I should probably have dinner, though.

Tep, I wish I was as confident. Not because I dislike HRC, but because I don't trust my fellow Americans anymore.

I'm staying confident until Nate Silver tells me to worry. (Also, Vegas bookies are currently saying Clinton has a 75% chance of beating Trump. I like those odds.)

Oh, sweet Jesus. I have to bring the banhammer of great fury to discussing this election with my father, who just told me "Nothing will make me vote for a female in my lifetime" and "You just like her because she's a female" and "I would never vote for her because of what her husband did with that slut."
NOPE DAD NOPE. Which is basically what I told him.
It makes me so sad that my father is such a goddamn misogynist. Jesus. (He did say he wouldn't vote for Trump either, so...yay?)

After today's Cincinnati Bell debacle and then getting the full force of my dad's woman-hating ways, I cannot dial down my raaaaaage right now.
I can't even make a rage cheese plate, because all we have is colby-jack and American.
