That is a great sentence :)

Tom's paranoid that if we hang a framed picture or mirror there, it will crash down on us as we sleep.

I'm basically with Tom, even though I know it's stupid. My mother has had a huge framed painting over her bed for years, and she is fine!

My Subaru has dozens of new warning lights, and as I came home last night, I swerved around something and the tire pressure light came on.

For what it's worth, speaking of my mother, when it gets cold (or just when the temperature changes?) that light always goes on on her car, and it usually goes away in a day or so. (Sometimes she will go get some air, but sometimes it happens again a couple of days later.)

Meanwhile my daughter (holy shit, it's my adult daughter now)

Holy shit is right! She was our first Buffista baby, right?

I am feeling kind of proud of this sentence.

AS YOU SHOULD.

For what it's worth, speaking of my mother, when it gets cold (or just when the temperature changes?) that light always goes on on her car, and it usually goes away in a day or so.

That's what the car guys said. And I was driving through big puddles of cold rainwater. I'm just used to dashboard lights meaning "You could die if you don't deal with this!" and was afraid I was looking at imminent tire failure.

Okay, I'm back from vacation, time to face the mountain of work that has piled up.

Ugh. The car talk reminds me I have a decision to make. I took my car in the other day to have the killer Takeda airbag swapped out, which was free because of the recall, but they tell me there's also a problem with the airbag module that controls it. Basically it means the airbags can't be counted on to go off, but if they do they won't kill us anymore.

I'm really not sure what I'm going to do. It's a $1000 fix. On a 12 year old car. I don't really want a new car right now, so I'm disinclined to sell it, but I'm also not sure about driving around without airbags.

Which, we all did for most of my life and some very short people do now, right? But if something were to happen I'd feel super shitty. God what a PITA.

Ugh, that's a tough decision, brenda. Could it be covered by your insurance since it is a safety issue?

I've having the kind of week where I both feel fat and am constantly hungry. I realize the one reinforces the other, but I'm still going to get a snack.

fwiw, this made me smile

My adulting has consisted of hiring the teenage son of a friend to come extensively weed the yard. He came over at 7am today (because he's a weird morning child), and was still working at 10 when I was up. I gave him iced coffee, food, and money. Needless to say, I'll be hiring him again.

Also, Pete is away for three weeks for various Magic: the Gathering shows in the UK and France, which means poor sleep despite meds starts now.
