So apparently the little boo was refusing to take an afternoon nap for our nanny today. When I walked in and said hello, she stopped drinking from the bottle and smiled and cooed. I took her and now - ten minutes later she's peacefully sleeping on my chest.

On top of that, I feel I did well at an interview for a promotion at work today. It's not one that I particularly want, but I guess having my own Wal-drug to manage wouldn't be that bad.

Negotiations with the ex so far so smooth. It helps to use her birthday on November 5th as a selling point (without saying that explicitly). Now working on Christmas. Gods it is depressing to have an ex sometimes.

Brand new Honda Civic! Windows work, AC works, I feel like I'm utterly spoiling myself!

No more 120-130F ride homes from work!

Trouble arrives when the opponents to such a system institute its extreme opposite, where individualism becomes godlike and sacrosanct, and no greater service to any other ideal (including community) is possible. In such a system rapacious greed thrives behind the guise of freedom, and the worst aspects of human nature come to the fore....

Full basement, SB? I see the window peaking out. Brick all the way?

Edit: Actually, might be a ventilator there.

This is pretty rad, glad to see someone so talented and undeniably emblematic of a sport take this opportunity.

Hmmm ... you're a southerner, living on your own, in a remote area?

Any "lost time"? Besides medication-induced ...

Check your arse for probing.

Yep, full basement. That's a small window, the fire escape is on the other side.

Planned on doing brick, but with all the delays I've had because of weather my budgets jumped. Probably going with s charcoal siding with white trim.

I thought I had a test for a work related certification scheduled for today, but it turns out I upped the date on it by a solid month. I already arranged for a sitter, so after clearing it with them, I'm taking a bit of time just for myself instead.

I have three hours of no work, wife, or baby ahead of me, and I'm using it wisely damn it!

Few things beat sitting in the park with a carne asada burrito(another rare choice since I only eat beef about once every four months or so), a cup of horchata, The Dear Hunter's Acts 4 and 5 on stream, and a paperback.

Today, is a good day.

Cause they are disgusting pests. Same thing with snails and slugs but I can just crush them with my feet. I'd kill the armadillos to but firearms and Ambien is not a good thing to mix.

Isn't there a creature with a long tube-like snout that just vacuums up armadillos by the dozens? Or was that something else?

This was the best part. Act V is incredible. Not quite up to Act IV in my mind, yet...

They don't do anything beyond make some burrows and dig for food. Look at what Briar King is saying - armadillos are bad because they're in the way. That's it. They aren't able to get into the garbage like raccoons or start killing things like coyotes.
