Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries.

The painters left tonight at 8:45. I have got to give these guys credit; they are hard workers. Except for a lunch break, they never really stopped. They're coming back in the morning to do the final touching up and putting the banister and vent covers and switchplates back.

On the other hand ...

AAAARRRRGGGGGHHHHHH.

Without going into detail, let me just say this. I won't be the first person to say it, and I won't be the last.

Once. Just. Once. Before. I. Die.

I would like to hear my husband say something to the effect of "Hey, thanks for doing all the stuff you do around here: making all the arrangements, handling all the details, always staying home to see that it gets done, even if you have to take time off of work. I really appreciate it."

Instead of coming home and saying nothing whatsoever but looking passively-aggressively pissed off because he is inconvenienced for two fucking hours.

That's all.
