Finished my Korean drama tonight. I wasn't expecting that. Now I need to decide whether to watch a new one, rewatch this one, or rewatch Winter Sonata.
I never finished Boys Over Flowers. That's another option.

Finished making a quilt for The Bail's college roommate. Took me a while to find fabric that she will (hopefully) like and that I could stand to look at for hours. Where Bail likes bright, bold colors like I do Pres is more of an old soul. Her current bedspread looks like it belongs on a bed in a nursing home. So next time one of them is back in town I will send it off to college with them.

Getting ready to head to Walmart. The store that delivers ran out of some wing sauce that was on sale, but they've got it in stock at this other store. I'll pickup the rest of my list at the same time.

I got the opportunity to stand up for my eldest daughter and safeguard all the hard work she's done today. IDK if I've ever been proud before, if this is what proud feels like. So I swung my parent peen and got her into the program she's always been in, just steamrolling over the bullshit ideas that "the class is full".
Proud Papa tonight. They saw me read a school authority for filth - and win - and talk massive shit on my way out. Boy....I sure do hope that doesn't make my kids mouthy bastards. /s

Proud or not...it's a big deal that will be remembered that you stood up and spoke out. If nothing else, you let your daughter know you are there for her...come to think of it, that's something to be proud of. Not all kids get that.

One side of my left thumb is starting to get tingly for no clear reason.
Comparing the Universal Oneness of All Life to Yo Mama since 2010.
I was born with the gift of laughter and a sense the world is mad.

Putting up a TV antenna on the wall. I almost screwed up big time. There were two studs in the wall, but I had planned to mount the antenna between them. So I got some drywall anchors and scoped out where on the wall the best signal reception was. But in the process, I'd forgotten all about the wall studs. I tried to sink a drywall anchor at the exact edge of one of the studs. I had to move the anchors over a little. That was bad, but it could have been worse. I've got a new, quad-shielded cable on the way, but it doesn't arrive until tomorrow. It will be easier to attach before mounting the antenna, so I'm going to wait until it arrives. In the meantime, the living room is all out of whack.

Going to build a display case for my eldest son's challenge coins (he's in the Air Force). I cleaned the glue from the price stickers off with barbeque starter fluid, as it is just supposed to be naphtha. Gad what a stench. I'm going to leave them in the sun for a couple of days. Now, to figure out what to do with the remainder of that quart. Household hazardous waste return, I guess.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

For some unknown reason, I woke up at 4 this morning so I am winding down. I had to read this twice as I wondered how the hell you got some napalm.

Procrastinating. I have known for a while that there was a dance thing my bonus granddaughter is in tonight and I planned to attend. Originally I was told it starts at 6:30 and should be over by 8. Couple days ago I get told that the solo performances (and she has one) are between 5 and 6 with the actual show starting at the earlier mentioned 6:30.
I need to get ready to go but really don't look forward to that many hours in stadium style seating. My back will pay tomorrow.
