I probably should have warned you about that triggery statement there in the subject line, hunh?
Oh well.
I had a great hour and a half (to make up for some other missed and short calls) convo with K. She's so sane it sort of rubs off on me and I'm a little less crazy for a while after I talk to her. It's great.
I had a walk with M. It's warm and muggy again, but that's okay; we have great AC.
T. came home and rapidly headed out with his sitter to go to a splash park. But not before he and A. got into a fight about how loud the Echo was and how that made T. feel like he couldn't survive. I said this was A. getting back at him for things he does to her. I also said, this isn't really going to kill you, it just feels like it will. He was in a great mood a few minutes after I told A. she had to turn it down so I could talk to the sitter. I think maybe he'll understand better now not to piss his sister off. OTOH, this may take a few rounds. Supervision keeps sibling rivalry from permanent consequences.
We need to move some things away from walls for some work to be done increasing the insulation in those walls next week. Things includes book cases full of books. I'm going to view this as an opportunity to cut my library down by about half (again); I never read paper books if I can possibly help it. And there are a lot of things that have been sitting unread for decades now, which I finally understand why they are terrible books. Turns out that learning about politics for a number of years completely changes one's opinion about a lot of books that don't _look_ like they are political, but they actually are.
Also, if you want to convince me of something, DO NOT invoke the probable end or decline of civilization / the world as we know it. I'll just put you in the useless column and ignore you. And I honestly believe (altho I may change my mind) that the world would be much better off if everyone who invoked DOOM / end of the world was ignored. Make a better argument. I know you can.
