Thank you! I missed the garbage pickup, but if I hump myself, I can catch the recycle guys.
Xander: We just saw the zebras mating! Thank you, very exciting... Willow: It was like the Heimlich, with stripes!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Hippo Birdies Theo and Jesse!
Petunia got a bunch of toys, but she seems to want the wrapping paper and the wrapped toys for Maria's and SylviaKs cats! I had to cut her out of the gift bag handle because she trapped herself there and was running around with a large gift bag attached to her!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Theo!!
Happy Birthday Jesse!!

Our wings are not tired.
I was impressed that Scully and Mulder didn't destroy the packages under the tree. The curly ribbons were super irresistible.
I didn't take a lot of pictures yesterday, just a couple of my sons, but my SIL took a number and I posted them all. I know my other SIL took a bunch so I'll see if she posts them. It was very nice. The only political discussion was of the "I can't believe anyone thinks this PoS belongs in the White House" variety, so that was okay. The only contrary person to that notion wasn't in the room at the time. We all know better than to discuss anything with her.

New plumber guy seems a lot more reliable than the first, but my hot water may have to stay off for a week because of scheduling. There is leaking inside the tank, but because the systems are on different pressures, it's forcing the extra pressure back into the furnace, hence the emergency discharge.
I'm somewhat relieved that the problem is a real problem, not bullshit, but the replacement should come in to well-under $6K (It'd be about $2500 for a free-standing new system, by comparison, new-plumber said.)
I'm sorry if I'm being boring here, but it's good to be able to share thoughts about this.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy happy birthdays, Theo and Jesse!
That payment plan plumber gets the stink eye from me, too. Maybe a low-key spa day for hot water? Or a gym or pool with a day pass situation?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday to Theo and Rayne as well!

$15 for a 30-minute soak at this place! [link] Which I always mean to go to, but never actually do....

-t, there's a YMCA about two blocks away, so that'd be our choice.
I really wanted to be able to turn the hot water back on for a couple hours a day, but that will make the furnace go gushy-gushy in a big way.

Happy birthday, Jesse, Theo, and Rayne!
I am working today and so far it has been very slow, which is good because this cold is kicking my ass.
