good mornthing!
I gave myself an extra twenty minutes in bed this morning, although I did not sleep for any of it. That was typical for the night, though.
You see, I took my car in to the shop yesterday. You remember, we were all hoping it was going to be an inexpensive fix, like the heat shield replacement or something. Well, it’s an “or something,” but not an inexpensive one: the entire exhaust system except for the manifold need replacement. Also, my brakes. All to the tune of over three grand.
Y’all, I do not have three grand. I only started this job four months ago, and I was feeling good about pulling together half a grand on short notice. *headdesk*
So I had them replace the bulbs that needed replacing, and do the oil change, and I have applied for a loan through my credit union. I should hear back on that next week. In the meantime, I borrowed Secret Agent Lover Man’s car last night to take the Eldest Spawn to his dad’s, and then also this morning to get to work, because it makes me super uneasy to drive my car knowing that CO2 is leaking into the cabin.
Borrowing the car meant not leaving till 5, and with traffic I didn’t get home till half past ten. I had a coffee to carry me through, so I don’t think I was actually asleep until close to midnight.
At 3am, the smoke alarm went off. It was very exciting for a couple minutes, but ultimately we sorted out that it was because SALM had set up The humidifier underneath the smoke detector, not realizing how sensitive it is to water vapor. he turned it off. I calmed Youngest. We went back to sleep.
At 5am the cable to his smartphone started to malfunction, the flow of electricity to the phone stopping and starting, and every time the phone chimed. Irregularly. After a dozen or so chimes I elbowed him awake and asked him to take care of it, and he did with all suitable apologies.
Now I am at work, and so stressed, and so tired. There is espresso and sugar in my coffee. I will edit in the selfie later, because it is not happening on the phone.

Hullo Bliss 10-20
Awake, after a fashion. Hubby went to local SCA event early, and I opted to sleep in. He's cooking, so he needed to be there. Me? Not so much. And honestly, I am done with this particular event. The people who set it up are a-holes and I am not fond of such.
Hullo Bliss. Espresso and sugar? I need to send you a jar or two of Auntie Arwen's Live Wire Espresso Sugar. Because reasons.
Re: Hullo Bliss 10-20
GOOD ON YOU for not attending events with assholes! Not dealing with people who suck is definitely a form of self-care, and sleep is very much of the good.
Es.... espresso sugar? TELL ME MORE!

Hi Bliss. 10/20/18
Nephews birthday party today. Should be a moderately good time.
Still need to think about what we're doing tomorrow. Party had just left an Oracle who told them a rough idea of where their objective lay and hints as to how to find it. Hopefully they can put together something resembling a plan.
IDK if you saw the pocket Duchess character sheet I made of you. She's a noble-born archaeologist, halfling trickster cleric. In my mind's eye she looks like a miniature Evelyn (from the Brendan Frasier Mummy movie).

What do you think her spiritual weapon should look like? It can be anything. A sword, a hammer, baseball bat, candy cane, giant dildo..whatever you can swing around and hit someone with.
Re: Hi Bliss. 10/20/18
Her spiritual weapon.... well, she's an archaeologist. I'd go with a shovel.

I hope the sugar and espresso help.

Apparently coconut sugar in iced tea doesn't taste very good. This was learned by people other than myself on Saturday.

I hope the espresso and sugar and less technical difficulties make tonight more restful.
