You'll fight, and you'll shag, and you'll hate each other till it makes you quiver, but you'll never be friends.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, Maya Rudolph and Ike Barinholtz are actually making me lol.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, good, Tim Allen, I assume no one said.

Oh, this is going real smoothly.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm pretty far behind on watching.

Drive tomorrow and Tuesday. Stay in Florida though the next Thursday. Drive back Friday and Saturday. Get back here Saturday evening the 5th. It is only possible because of the cancellation of the one dog class so whirlwind trip. I have quite a few things I need to do in Florida that will be much easier in person. So zoom.

Coding and Sleeping

I had no idea it was Emmy time.

Not a great weekend. I made progress on the cabinet I'm making for my wife's business.

It's not great. Some more staining and adjusting the hinges could make it better, but she says she'd rather have the cabinet as is instead of waiting for me to fix the flaws and stain the adjustable shelving. But the big screw up was that I thought she had decided an undivided cabinet would be fine, but I must have mis-remembered and she wanted it divided with differently keyed locks on each side. She's still going to use it, but I screwed things up like normal. Then I screwed up again when my son scraped his car against my daughter's car. I think I can fix it up with a paint pen, but like my wife pointed out if I had gone to the grocery store instead of him this wouldn't have happened. It's just, I really don't like going to the grocery store and he volunteered to go. Sometimes I'm just selfish. So lots of mistakes and the fact that I'm a terrible person combining to screw things up for the family. I wish I could be somebody else or just not be sometimes.

If your son scraped your daughter's car, it is not on you. Dear Gud. I wish you could appreciate yourself like we do.

Herding cats for fun

Either you misremembered or she changed her mind without telling you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Or did not communicate successfully.

A person so exacting.. or whose memory is that bad (or if I suspected mine was), I'd get complicated tasks in writing. I'm serious.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Then I screwed up again when my son scraped his car against my daughter's car. I think I can fix it up with a paint pen, but like my wife pointed out if I had gone to the grocery store instead of him this wouldn't have happened.

Gud, my jaw actually dropped at this part. This is not, in any way, your fault! There is something wrong with the person who looks for any tiny nonsensical reason to blame everything on you.

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

DH had to watch the Emmys for work, otherwise I would have turned them off. The production choices were cringeworthy beyond belief. Thomas Lennon, WTAF.
