I live in Florida. People routinely mow at 7 AM. It hot. We understand.

Seriously, if any of my neighbours fire up the mower before noon on the weekend, they get the stinkeye from me.
Same here, but I am an unreasonable nocturnal person. Our neighbors usually start around 8-8:30.

Thrive to spite them
Gud, I want to say that's a lot that you do. And I'm sure your wife is under stress but SO ARE YOU!
And your stress is valid and your needs to not be so stressed are also valid.

I was at Arby's for lunch, and I overheard a couple of guys wearing name tags on lanyards talking. "It's all about the money," one said, "if you get enough guys into Sector 3, you can do it." I sighed, resigned to hearing yet another pair of young go-getters planning on how they'll retire before 30. Then, "Sector 6 is a problem, though, because they've got missiles. And the guards resurrect." To my delight they spent their lunch time doing in-depth strategy for whatever video game they're playing. Much nicer than listening to people discuss how to get other people to give up money they can't afford.
At the end of the meal, the chief strategist looked down at the mess and nodded. "This was very successful. I approve of this method of feeding myself."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Quiet weekend ahead. Mostly running errands to have things ready for our Ontario loop vacation.
Starting next Friday, we will be on vacation. We will drive up to Ottawa, spend a few days there sightseeing(neither of us has been there, and it is Canada's 150th), then drive to Toronto. We'll spend a few days there, sightseeing and meeting up with friends, then drive to Pittsburgh for Confluence, which is the first weekend of August. Then home.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Then, "Sector 6 is a problem, though, because they've got missiles.
Potential overthrow of the government?
And the guards resurrect."
...or not! That's awesome!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
22 of the Calculated Fields I have created in this excel file over the last few days have self-destructed. I don't think I hav eit in me to start fixing all that today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

For my part, I have gotten my hair did and it is the weekend.

I'm mostly packed and my flight doesn't leave until 5 pm tomorrow! But I was fretting about it enough that I skipped my swim.. on balance, though, it was for once better for my mental health to do so. And I have Druid tomorrow!
I think I've settled on what I want to do my free Sunday in Anchorage: rent a bike for the day. There's a great paved costal trail, fairly flat, that looks lovely. I haven't been on a bike in ages, so easy is important. But a bike will let me sorta follow my whims. Don't know if my brother and fam will be interested, but I'm content o just go my own. I have another 7 days with the lot of them!
