An 'I told you so' is in order, but I'd be 'telling' myself ... and trust me, I noticed!

So, yeah. They really weren't my family and now they never really will be.

Good to know I kinda knew it was coming.

The renovations were finished in the nick of time (with the exception of the windows) and the party was great. I didn't have to mix a single cocktail, though I was on a first-name basis with several before I left - getting home was done reasonably well, and functionality was definitely minimal the next day. I could have wished for more but didn't bother to disappoint myself with such musings.

So anyway ... On to Plan B! Who's got Plan B? ... Anyone? No? ... You left it in the car? Dammit. Go back and get it, we'll wait here.
