Fun and games

It was a night at the elementary school to eat pizza and play games.  Only one of our kids still goes to the school, but her big brother also wanted to go so he could see his former teachers, and both kids wanted me along, too.

We’re about to walk out of the house and my son says “You’re going, too?”  I answered yes.

“It’s almost like we’re a family!”

He doesn’t pull any punches.

and the rain rain rain

came down down down.

As I’ve said before, we are in the middle of a drought, so we don’t generally mind a little rain.  Last night, however, wasn’t just “a little” rain, I think estimates are for 6 to 10 inches of rain.  In about an hour.

So the house flooded, several inches in several rooms.  Cleanup is still happening, insurance adjuster has been called, not sure if it’s badly damaged – sheetrock, dontchu know.   More to follow P

My apartment fared much better, being upstairs, we lost power and internet at various times but that’s it.

Sunny day

This is a textbook Sunday: the sun is shining, there is very little breeze, it’s 65 degrees and not a cloud in the sky.

 

Not bragging, too much, but I spent a while at work and finished a huge fucking project.   I would love to share both the weather and my accomplishment, but of course I’ve driven everyone truly important out of my life.  So I’m having a beer and watching Date Night on cable (“…And will you, for the love of God, put on a fucking shirt?“) and getting annoyed that there is an F1 key on this laptop where my old (now busted) netbook had an ESC key.

I do have the blinds open, some.  And I’m about to dig in to some leftovers.  A real wild man.

erm, sorry about that.

This post was sent from my phone (which is smarter than I am) and was a very short post saying something along the lines of my home computer is dying a painful death so if I want to post it will have to be from my phone.

…and obviously that didn’t work so well. If I post by email it has to be text only and my program must be adding some html or other bs to the body of the message (which is why only the subject line posts).

I’m sorry, you’ll have to just do without my witty wonderfulness until I have access to a computer to post from or until I figure out how to make my phone more blog friendly or something.
