It's been... a weekend. Yes, that about describes it, I think.
Yesterday, well, I hadn't slept, and then Dorkboy let me sleep when I finally did fall asleep. But I did have his laundry folded and was all ready by the time he got back from self-defense, so we left to pick up the rental car for him to go to Chicago. I thought it was further than 600 miles, but it isn't even that. *ponders Terminus* Then the weather turned bad for a change. Wind, tornado warnings galore, flash flood warnings... He left around 4pm to do half the distance and managed to get to the hotel near the IL stateline in one piece. In peace, too. We didn't get the rain until very late, and then it bucketed for about an hour and a half. And I mean bucketed. According to the news, it was about 5" per hour. The puddles are still there, despite extremely strong winds all day today.
After going along with the drabbling in the TPP chatroom, talking to various friends on IM, and communicating with the offspring, I did manage to sleep last night. Phew. Woke up at 8am. Way too early, but at least I slept a whole 7 hours, which was about 5 hours more than the previous night. And all we did today was chill. When we were done chilling, we visited the local bookstore (nope; still haven't found that book! I guess I'll have to visit the not-so-local B&N for that), and then dd treated me to a huge, big-arse coffee at Starbucks. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Was going to finish that chapter of doom today so I could start posting, but then I was side-tracked. Oh joy!
I owe loads of answers to comments. It might take me a few days. This past week has been absorbed by some unpleasant shit. I wouldn't care, but if it comes to demanding my own free time, then I tend to get grumpy. but there's hope.
Have a happy week, all.
