I have some work to do today and didn’t think I’d have time to post before I head to MD – because I really shouldn’t – but I am nothing if not a procrastinatrix so here I am. 😁 Happy Fathers Day, again, to all who observe! I’ve had a new handheld showerhead (for the en suite) sitting on the bathroom counter, in its box, since shortly after I moved in: this morning I finally took the pliers and plumbing tape out of my toolbox (on the main floor) and brought them upstairs. Progress! While the current showerhead is serviceable – it’s big enough, but the water pressure is “meh” and it isn’t adjustable; it reminds me of a hotel shower – I definitely prefer handheld models, and install them wherever I live. Right now it’s 10:30am; I’ll head north in two hours. Here’s hoping that the I-495 and I-95 traffic gods smile on me (both ways)! 🤞 It’s only a 40-mile drive, but often a real PITA. My dad and brother and I see each other ~4 times a year, and we tend to share the pain: generally I go there for bro’s birthday and Fathers Day, and they come here for my and dad’s birthdays (3 weeks apart; we combine that lunch) and Christmas. > [@Mollie\_Magill](#): > > Done Very cute! I’ll finish the wolf this evening, and will likewise share a pic. The four other sets waiting for me are [NYC - The Big Apple](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/new-york-city-the-big-apple-21066), [Dumbledore’s Office Book Nook](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/book-nook-dumbledores-office-76478), [Snoopy’s Doghouse](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/peanuts-snoopys-doghouse-21368), and the [Shelby Cobra 427 S/C](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/shelby-cobra-427-sc-10357). And the one I ordered yesterday is [Diagon Alley Wizarding Shops](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/diagon-alley-wizarding-shops-76444), so I could get the [Tribute to Leonardo da Vinci](https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/tribute-to-leonardo-da-vinci-40902) gift with purchase. 🙂 (I already have the tributes to Jules Verne, Galileo, and Jane Austen.) I used points for that one, and was able to lower the cost by more than half. > [@Kitten\_Mitten](#): > > Sounds like a lot of drama/change in your life recently with a person quitting with no notice and you being stuck with the work, apparently your pup passed, and now you’re moving/have moved. Are you renting or did you buy the house? Thanks. 🙂 I lost Bailey in mid-September: she was 17, and I’d had her since she was 12 weeks old. Thankfully, the rest of the drama didn’t really start until 8 months later! But yeah, a lot has happened since early May: part of a molar cracked off and I needed a crown, one of my project managers quit with no notice\[1\], a new hire started, and I moved for the first time in 12 years\[2\] (I’m still renting). On July 1 I’ll be completely free of the previous house, and I hope to have a backfill for the project manager hired (if not on board) by August 1. I’m _really_ looking forward to September, for both the latter and the usual “cooler weather” and “birthday month” reasons…though the Bailey anniversary will be tough. > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > 2:26 a.m. and I just got home. That’s what we in the biz call “a rough close.” Yikes. ☹ > [@Paintcharge](#): > > Ms Peach came home around 4:30. Oh thank goodness! > [@scareyfaerie](#): > > He’d been out for half an hour, convinced Cherry had managed to get out of the house. Ugh, I hated that feeling; I had it occasionally with both Bailey and my previous pet (Smokey The Cat). First you feel terrified and heartsick, then murderous when you discover the hidden animal! 😂 > [@Chefguy](#): > > It’ll be a quiet Fathers’ Day. 🫂 * * * 1. after 5 intense months of performance problems, and after 1 week of being on a formal Performance Improvement Plan 2. that process started with my initial viewing of this place on May 3 --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-my-cup-runneth-over-a-championship-mmp/1030907)._
