Long damn day.

Grading's done, though.  'Til Saturday, at least. 

Got a lot accomplished, today.  Took the frame jumper that's been taking up an entire corner of the living room (seriously--the thing's footprint was at least a square yard) for the last three years apart, and slid it under the pixie's crib.  When my new claimed-kin nephew is old enough for it (he's a bit over a week old, now, born a week ago Monday), we're going to pass it along to his family, with the understanding that it's a loan. 

In place of that is a blue wing-back chair.  And we brought one of the recliners out of the pixie's room, since I no longer have to worry about having a place to sleep in there.  The other recliner (a rocker recliner) will need to stay where it is until she doesn't need rocked and nursed to sleep anymore. 


Odysseus works, tonight.  Lucky jerk.  The kids decided this afternoon was perfect to stage a running bicker-fest that didn't pause except when the imp was on the potty or in his high chair, despite being separated by the hall gate, and didn't end until bath time.  Then, when the pixie started trying to pick it back up, I took her and put her cranky butt to bed.  Half an hour after that was the imp's bedtime.  I spent about an hour staring into space, then went and spent another hour in a tub of hot water. 

As for now?  Yeah, I'm thinking a bourbon.  I think I've earned it.  Yeah, definitely a bourbon and some blog catching-up. 

See y'all tomorrow.
