(But his heart wasn't really into it.)
No, no, that's far too outward-looking for me this morning. You see, after being sick for a week, I returned to work yesterday and managed to put in a full day. Although I was pretty tired by the end of it, I didn't feel too bad by the time I got home. I had a chipper outlook. That was my mistake. Never allow yourself to feel too chipper.
Went home, did the dishes, got ready for dinner.
Then both the kitchen and bathroom sinks decided they were sick and starting barfing. Although I have plumbing explosions once or twice a year, I've never had a double barf event before. It was thrilling. I was bailing water (they kept refilling every time any neighbor used their own sinks) until about 9 when the plumber finally cleared the lines enough for them to drain. He was at it for another couple of hours, clearing them so they wouldn't back up again next time I or the neighbor upstairs uses the garbage disposal...or the dish washer...or the sink... Got to bed about midnight.
$250 under market value, that's why. I can't afford to move. Or if I did I'd probably have to commute many miles and many hours a day.
I feel like dreck today. I'm hoping I can go to bed early tonight like I hoped to last night. I still have to clean up some of the mess, though.
In other news: Chapter 18 is finished. I'd almost finished it when I got sick, didn't work on a thing all last week, did the finishes touches on 18 yesterday.
