leave the room, only safe thing to do. sounds like a good time for a soak in the bath.
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I was walking into the room, literally turned around and walked out. MIL was having a speakerphone conversation with her bestie, a vocal Trump fan.
Then husband and in-laws bickered about what to watch on TV. I'm kind of hoping fireworks get rained out.

MIL can't hear but hates captions, so the TV is blaringly loud.

It's a little warm (hi 80s) but otherwise nice night for patriotic activities up here in MA, almost as if God smiled on liberal strongholds or something.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are stores even open tonight? Dana, I'm wondering if you might need some ingredient for something.
Oh! Or do you want to treat the family to ice cream you will volunteer to go get??

Ha ha. There's ice cream in the house. And no car I would ask to drive. It's okay. We've settled on something to watch that pleases everyone, and there will be fireworks soon, and then we can go to bed.

Phew.
I'm still trying to decide if I want to meet friends for fireworks. It would be fun, but fun enough to deal with getting home after? I think no.

I went to a neighbor's for grilled hotdogs and fixings. I brought a blueberry pie that turned out reasonably well. Later, I could hear but not see the town fireworks. Today I'm working from home. The cat's gonna be sick of me by Monday, but I'm enjoying this whole "no commute" thing.
