1. Wine.
2. Cartoons. No matter what time of day or tonight. It’s always cartoons.
3. A candle burning some kind of bakery scent, because my husband loves the food ones.
4. Screaming, objects being thrown past your head, the same five nursery rhymes playing on an endless loop from fifteen individual toys.
5. Coffee brewing.
6. Lots and lots of wine.
If I had to dodge random projectiles and listen to screaming and the same five nursery rhymes all day, my wine consumption would be substantially more that it currently is.
As an excuse to overconsume, it has served me well. 😎

Some of mine:
Yes, don't show up unannounced. I have turned relatives away for doing it.
Cats:
Tablet and squish will watch you from a distance.
Monster will demand you rub his belly. RUB HIS BELLY!!
Estraya WILL sit on your knee.
Hero will get under your feet.
Don't be surprised by clutter. It happens, get over it!
I may be cooking.
I may be drinking (beer).
Ignore the whimpering and occasional scream from the basement. It's the TV. Honest!
Get used to the stereo playing classic rock, Aussie and Kiwi music, or the Musical version of War of the Worlds. If you don't like Cold Chisel, you will or you will join the chorus from the basement.

OP said nothing about invited.
The phrase was “end up”.
As in I phone you up drunk to give you advance notice and then I show up. Possibly with a car through the front door.

. . . or at least not complain about the strange odor wafting up from my crawlspace
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
