this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I can't even see Wonder Woman's cock in that picture!

First-world problems, yo.

ION, it's almost 1 am. I'm used to going to bed way earlier than Tim, and in fact had drifted off around 11:30. The last thing he told me was that, since it was trash night, he had recycling from his dad to get out of the car, and he would probably be noisy in the driveway for a little bit while he dumped beer bottles and such into the Official Recycling Rolly Bin.

So, a few minutes ago, I'm dreaming about watching the Dukes of Hazard on TV at my dad's apartment (IDEK), when this loud metallic CRASH! wakes me up. I'm all groggy, so I assume it's Tim dumping cans in the recycle bin. But then it happens again, and again, and I realize it's way louder than cans would be.

Then I wonder: are metal thieves (it's a big problem around here right now) stealing our central air unit? Are they DISASSEMBLING MY CAR right in the driveway???

Finally I fling myself resentfully out of bed (to which Tim has not yet made it), put on yoga pants so I'm reasonably clad to confront the metal thieves, and stagger out to the living room, where the noise turns out to be coming from the basement.

Where Tim is putting the washing machine back together (with a sledgehammer? I didn't ask) after disassembling it to repair it. AT MIDNIGHT.

Sweet Jesus. I DON'T EVEN.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh Scrappy, what a crappy evening. Well, up until the DH getting home part.

I think I need to go to bed. I keep having this thing where I wake up all perky at 5 or 5:30 or so. It's kinda freaking me out. I mean, it's not even light out! How can my brain think it's wakey time?

Oh Steph, what did you do? I'm not sure how I'd react, other than the deeply confused part.

And, I should mention, Sudden Midnight Home Washing Machine Repair is less annoying than a doctor's office screwing up mental health drugs. I just needed to share the portrait of WTFery going on in my basement at 1 am.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

First-world problems, yo.

I'm pretty sure people in Ethiopia and Sri Lanka want to see Wonder Woman's cock.

Side Note: Dear Tim, no sledgehammers after 9pm. This should probably be...I don't know...not a sentence I need to say? But I'm saying it. No hammer whacking after 9.

Oh Steph, what did you do? I'm not sure how I'd react, other than the deeply confused part.

I didn't know it was the washer at first; I figured out the noise was coming from the basement and thought maybe he was...I don't know, hauling hidden scrap metal out? So I stomped over to the stairs and yelled "What is GOING ON?!?!?!?"

Tim said "...uh, sorry. I'm putting the washer back together. Because I took it apart to fix it."

And all I could think of to say was "...okay?" And stomp back to bed clutching my iPod.

It had better be working tomorrow, because I need to do laundry. Which he knows. (I was unaware it needed fixing.) That man, I swear. I love him madly, but...he does the weirdest shit sometimes.

Oh Steph, that sounds about right.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I keep having this thing where I wake up all perky at 5 or 5:30 or so. It's kinda freaking me out. I mean, it's not even light out! How can my brain think it's wakey time?

We are no longer samesies.

That is just wrong. Or healthy. Either way, I am having none of it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

You know how I've been having all kinds of trouble with my sleep cycle lately? Well, my phone has suddenly taken to playing Cowboy Junkies at me unexpectedly. I can't figure out what's doing it and it stops when I pull down the notification menu. And oddly, it's the beginning of Remnin Park, the house show introduction about dicks on the walls graffiti, which could be quite unfortunate if that started at the wrong time.

And anyway, now I'm awake again. Grump.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I am totally with Tim on the midnight project tendencies, but I do try to keep the noise down.

So, in my Hunger Games reading I have a new favorite sentence. "I really can't think about kissing when I've got a rebellion to incite." Hahahahaha!
