Plumbing~ma, Tep
The water is turned off, but fortunately I have therapy in 45 minutes, so I can go early and use the bathroom there!
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Vicarious puzzling for -t!
I am thinking the same as Jesse re: timing. Guess I'll go sign up! This is awesome.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Running plans waylaid as I now have plans for a phone call with Josh's first wife, Jenny. I haven't talked to her in decades, but we had our own friendship (she also went to Kenyon) so I'm looking forward to hearing her voice again.
A gaggle of Matilda's friends came over last night to admire the Guinea Pigs and I helpfully steered them to the boxes of See's Candy in the house so they could save me temptation. They were a ravening horde, a locust swam of chocoholics.
Which was pleasing. I don't like throwing out the candy but I do like to get all the sweets out of the house by the time I take down the tree, which will probably be Monday.

By the time I got home from therapy, the plumber was finished and gone! Yay for a quick, easy fix!

Fantastic!
Vicariously looking forward to David and Matilda's trip. I've never been to Japan.
Just got the huge, anxiety producing work nightmare off of my plate. My god, the relief. Unfortunately, the firm itself is going through a severe client slump, so I'm out of my W2 position there as of end of January. I do have a couple of clients I'll keep on a contract basis, and I just got a contact through a mutual friend for some freelance writing stuff, so that's well-timed, but, yeah, super duper looking for my next steady job. As is my husband. So that's neat.

Registered, yay! Hotel special rate is largely sold out, btw. I was lucky to have a bunch of points, so I got our room even though they didn't have my nights available at the special rate. I'm getting in Friday and checking out Sunday. Excited!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad to hear it, Tep!
And woo hoo on the registration, JenP! Good luck with the whole employment thing.

FYI, -t, if you still want to do the puzzle part, they do have virtual options.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I got a decent rate through my company so I’m booked as well!
I signed up for all three days but I’m thinking maybe we want to do buffista Friday night anyway. Excited to have some fun and do something different and see some wonderful people!
