Labor Day randos

[Deleted]

I'm up at 3am. Why? Because my dumb brain won't shut off, and even though having today off is nice, I'm facing a week of many ill-planned (not by me) projects which will have to come together haphazardly and by sheer dint of will. 

Now I'm off to find some good ideas for a Labor Day post. I promise not to feature any coffins.

It's not a holiday here and already 10:18 and I'm bored. It's kinda nasty out and chilly. I'm also braving my first cup of coffee since having a bad stomach bug so I feel like I shouldn't stray far from home.

Hopefully your projects work out better than they've been planned!

I'm sharing this because it's making me cry-laugh this early morning and it's my favorite clip from South Park EVAR.

We are supposed to get huge thunderstorms today. I really wanted to avoid going to the gym (principled stand on visiting businesses on Labor Day), but ugh. The thought of an entire day inside without being able to go for a walk has me . I guess this is prep for winter?

It's 9:45 and all of my kids are still asleep! It's going to be 90+ today but I don't want to stay in the house. Hoping the city splashpads are still open.

I have slept until 9 the last two days. This is bad because 5:15 is going to come early tomorrow. I also need to just start to enjoy my last day off but all I can think of is "I have to go back tomorrow" and it's making a pit in my stomach.

Serious FWP: I'm sick and tired of clicking on articles in my mobile FB feed, having them open, and then getting a stealth ad that I can't close without backing out to my feed and reopening the article.

Mmm, maybe I'll make these for (late) breakfast.

Another insomnia sufferer, here.  Last night was rough.  And today I'm supposed to work.  As you can see, I'm really knuckling down.

Why are we all working? We're not celebrating this holiday right! :mad:

When you hear scratching coming from the attic, what is the appropriate response from your husband? Mine expects me to come up with the plan. He will implement my plan, but I have to push to get him to investigate and then do something. I don't care if the something is call an exterminator, I just want him to develop the plan sometimes.

Instead, he's replacing outdoor security/flood lights. Still productive so I can't complain about that. But there is still something living in my attic.

The correct reaction is to burn your house down. If that's not feasible, your husband needs to climb into the attic with a machete to investigate.

I just woke up. After dreaming that I went to work in my sleep clothes.

I am going to do you a favor and not post images from some truly horrifying moments in cinema when it all started in the attic.

I can't vouch that other posters won't go there, though.

At least our attic is nice, open and well lit. And apparently warm and cozy.

[meshaliuknits]

We don't investigate. We pretend it was the cats.

I went out this morning on our deck with a cup of tea and read my book. It was glorious!

[teflepi]

A friend had 4 nests of these hornets. I would have moved

[tacosforlife]

Last night I had a dream that all my friends' dead pets became zombies and were attacking.

I just had my first PSL of the season. Basic white bitch checking in.

[laurenpetro]

I'm having a BBQ today. My friends from HS are coming! Yay!!!

GAH. Must get one. Or many. That phrase "turn into a pumpkin" is actually a lifelong dream.

We saw online yesterday that some Starbucks had a sign out front advising customers that, if they order in Darth-Vader voice, they'd get a free PSL. I need to find this specific location.

I may have to make pumpkin bread today. Because of pixy0stix.

[ttt]

I just bought a domain name under my existing hosting account and they gave me a $0.02 "returning customer" discount. Thanks. I'll make sure not to spend it all in one place.

Ha! Since I'm just now getting summer I'm making summer squash bread.

[meshaliuknits]

I may or may not have actually spent the last little while looking up how to say stuff in Klingon. Thanks IIOY!

Hab sosli' Quch might be my favorite insult, though.

I like how you could be saying, "My God, you are beautiful and your breath smells like roses" and it would still sound like you're ready to kick someone's ass.

[secretlyevil]

I'm eating all the things in prep for not being able to eat them. I don't think that's the way it's supposed to work.
