Drinks are a much better plan. I may do that later. Work remains overwhelming. Step-dad is back in the hospital, but I think his heart flip flops are likely due to one of his closest friends dying rather expectantly. He is super fragile emotionally. Was glad to see sister step up and go visit him.
Best news is I have super shiny fun nails. Went to just get a boring polish change because I was bringing a big bunch of clothes to my SIL to send to the Bahamas with her SIL. She had this new stuff (new to me anyway) called cat eye. There is metal in the polish and she takes a magnet to make a streak across the middle of the nail. Fun stuff.

Laura, magnetic polish? I have some ... I've never been able to make them come out the way they're supposed to, though.
I just got a text: "Hi! It's [name] from [place]! We're doing free [service you're actually interested in] at [time you can't make] and [time that you totally could]. Which time works for you?"
Is it weird that I'm ready to ignore the opportunity for this free service just because I really don't want to reward this level/type of pushy salesmanship?
I appreciate the validation, Dana.
I'm still torn.
That is a real dilemma.
Nice nails, Laura! That's fun.
Timelies all!
Yesterday Mr. S's behaviour at home and at school was awful. He's been suspended again. He also got hold of scissors and cut the cord for my mouse, and both cables for my printer. Is it bad that I'm looking forward to work tomorrow so I don't have to deal with him much?

Nope! Totally normal parenting impulse.
So this whole "we're going to cut the power off but we don't know when" thing is extremely frustrating.
The best part is that despite knowing for days that this would happen, PG&E's website with the maps and schedules went down under the strain, and they still haven't put the new one up. Their PR is SHIT.
... hmm, now it looks like the blackout will be at midnight. Fun.
Off to plug in devices and make sure there's a flashlight next to my bed...
If I were a customer, I'd be burning effigies in front of PGE HQ. They had HOW LONG before fire season to get this done?
Sheryl, so sorry for the current travails. Sometimes it gets worse before it gets better.
