Posting about the Gum Surgery Saga
has been overshadowed by posting about the Ongoing Insulation Saga
seems not important enough to post about, compared with he fact that the government is now essentially disappearing people to a Salvadoran prison
has been overshadowed by thinking about another questionable legal proceeding.

I currently have plumbers replacing all the water meters in the building. It has so far taken an hour and a half, with no sign of stopping. (And of course the water is shut off, to the considerable inconvenience of Me, and the even greater inconvenience of downstairs tenants, since they didn't have time to prepare, since I didn't realise that these guys were going to do All the meters.)

And that would be bad enough, except I also had plumbers in (for inspection, rather than work, admittedly) on Boxing Day, and I get to have at least two more come by next week.

Homeownership is overrated.

ANyway, in about an hour I'm headed out (with the last-minute substitution of New!Gf for The Teenager) to drive up to Portsmouth and do Christmas/rando gift exchange with my immediate family+partners.
Possibly the plumbers will even be done sawing through pipes by then.

troubleshooting furnace. bloody again.

ETA: Okay, it turned out that it probably just needed a filter change.
