Pix, so what happens to you in the interim? I mean, while construction happens?

We have zero cookies in the house which is okay. But I'm not feeling the excitement for the holidays without MOAR SUGAR and BUTTR!

Last day of school for the calendar year. I'm still up and headed to the gym. Someone put cement in my sinuses. It's taking all of my will to go.

Oh, wow, Pix, that sounds enormous! I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

Today is Operation's annual Brunch and a Movie day. Guess what we're seeing. That's right, Heart of the Sea. Anyway, the movie doesn't end until after I usually go home so I might go in late because getting out of bed is haaaaard.

sarameg, I hope your jury duty goes well, for whatever value of "well" you prefer.

Kat, marriage may bollocks up your taxes, but it depends on your situation. It worked well for Hubs and me. I have the larger income (especially now that he's retired), and he has lots of medical expenses. Which means we can use more deductions.

Looking forward to next week, I think. Office lunch means long lunch on Monday, and at least it's good food with only forced socialization and not forced merriment. Half-day Thursday and a holiday Friday. And I can't work late on Tuesday because I have my regular therapist appointment. On the other hand, I have an assignment that a Someone wants done by the end of the year -- and two other Someones want delayed until a different matter is resolved.

Getting married is going to bollocks up my taxes this year, isn't it?

I don't think I knew you got married!!!

Kat, they have to tear out the entire middle of our house and install a new bathroom. We will get official lab results tomorrow or Monday, but it's at least four kinds of mold, most likely at least one toxic variety.

Yikes, sorry!

Hee. I do have to see that, though, just to maintain my Hemsworth creds. Pretty sure my cousin and I were the only people who saw Rush.

So last night I was achy and not-actually-feverish, but hot and cold in a weird way. I think I was really sweaty in the night, and now I do feel better! So maybe it was a slight fever after all? Anyway, now I'm just sleepy. And still angry with my job, but not nearly as angry as sara!!

Every time the commercial comes on, I say "Not even for Thor will I see that."

So I see I'm already not a completist (missed Blackhat, Red Dawn, and Vacation), so can probably let this one go.

Goodness! That sounds like a lot of stress, but not exactly something you can ignore. Good luck with getting it done quickly and as smoothly as possible.

Wait, Chris Hemsworth was in Vaction?

Yikes, Pix. That's a huge, sort of scary pain in the ass. House~ma!

Wait, Chris Hemsworth was in Vaction?

He was, briefly. I'm not sure Vacation is worth seeing just for him, although I thought the reboot was crass and disgusting, so YMMV.

Holiday party this afternoon. Woohoo.
