Guess who has an actual, factual, working downstairs kitchen sink faucet?

That plus stuffiness makes it hard to sleep, you know. But the benefit of staying up this late - and, incidentally, of global warming! - is that I get to hear the mockingbird outside my window.

That is the only advantage of either of those two things.

Edit: I did eventually go to bed before finishing all this.
