I got up at 5 and went to work and actually got shit done and came home and let the dog out and then went out to dinner with family then came back home and washed the dog, unloaded the dishwasher, loaded the dishwasher, washed the hand wash, ran a load of laundry, and fed the fish.  And I was just sitting down to try to post before  I fall asleep,, and I remembered that there’s one more chore I have to do before I can go to bed…and I want to go to bed right now (wahhhhh).  So the chapter will have to wait until Wednesday.  Sorry, but…
