I'm on the east coast!

I'm surrounded by family!

I'm only tearing my hair out half the time!

I got a completely unexpected Christmas bonus!

I'm wearing duvets on my feets!

I'll be back and noiminally functional on Sunday!

This has been your update! Now I'm going to go back to doing laundry and reading Pride and Prejudice.

My father has accidentally joined the pirate zeitgeist.
