    Wrapped up the new lighting in what is going to be the band practice room. Figured it would be a good idea to do that first so there is extra lighting down there to work. Now I just have to wait for some warmer weather so I can apply the Drylok. Should be on track to do that this weekend.

    I think we're going to have an electrician come out and put in a new circuit breaker and run the outlets for the band room. We were going to tie into an existing circuit but the circuit we were going to use I think already has quite a bit on it so new one it is.

    If you tuck your comforter

    How do you use your feet to carefully control your heat levels?

    Stick foot out to the side, bend at the knee so the comforter rests on top of thigh above the knee, then place lower half of leg on top of comforter.

    But if you tuck in your comforter, how do you climb into bed, then lift your legs up and let the trapped air slowly leak out so that the blankets slowly settle over you like the gentlest angel is tucking you in at night?

    But of course!

    Ah, I love the internet. I’m glad to learn that certain sleeping practices (the leg tuck, but also @bowen - I do the leg/thigh thing too) are just a universal human trait.

    Niko is a cover flinger (he crawls into bed around 1 am and sleeps the rest of the night tucked under my arm), but also a hot water bottle. I don’t get cold but I do miss the security (even if it’s a faux-security) of the duvet.

    The bed farts come out at the top and sides.

    Apparently bowen only tucks the bottom and not the sides.

    Yeah tucking the sides is weird.

    Gotta draw the line somewhere. Bottom and very bottom of the sides so it doesn't look goofy as shit.

    When the blankets are tucked in, I can only imagine someone laying on their back with their feet splayed out sideways, flat against the mattress

    And when I picture that and try to imagine someone trying to sleep like that, I sweat bullets because that is inhuman when you could be being tucked in by the softest gentlest angel

    This is why I buy king size blankets. I can give it slack from my head so that it replicates that snuggling behavior of the lift-tuck maneuver.

    Every time I forget to untuck the blankets in a hotel, I wake up with my feet cramping and tingly from trying to be the tentpoles in a circus tent.

    Back when I used to have a bed to myself I would sleep with my feet hanging off the end of the bed so they could point straight down when I was sleeping on my stomach. It was the most amazing sleep.

    Sleeping is for chumps. It's all about tossing and turning and waking up in strange and new pain every morning and hacking up for twenty minutes. It's called being an adult.

    Haha. I know, right?

    Anyways, houses, houses, right. Yeah. I've been finding rat shit around the house, which is dispiriting because we got both a cat and a terrier and, like, guys, this is literally your fucking job. You were literally bred to do this. You should merk this fucking friendo before he shits again. What are we feeding you for here?

    Not sure what the solution is here. Burn down the house? Help me out, America.

    I'm not sure what the best method is but stay away from poison, especially with a cat and a terrier around. Otherwise you're going to end up with some vet bills at best and deaths at worst. Maybe try to find out where it/they are coming from and block it off?

    I slept all of last night. Like I went to bed, fell asleep and didn't wake up again until my alarm went off.

    I felt very confused. I was like it can't be the morning, I haven't woken up three times yet.

    Poison in the ceiling cavity can work, rats often live up there and pets generally don't get in (unless your cat does?)

    Congrats! I lately seem to have moved from not being able to sleep and then sleeping in unless I set an alarm to being tired and falling asleep easily and waking up strangely early and not being able to get back to sleep. It's confusing and frustrating at times.

    Traps rather than poison would be your best bet.

    We had a bird build a nest on top of the wreath for our door that we did not know about. When my wife took down the wreath an egg fell out and smashed onto the floor. She was distraught for a couple of days, so we decided we would do something nice for the birds and put out a bird feeder. Two days later we saw our first hawk sitting on the ground! ... and saw little flappy wings of what itcaught.

    Sorry little birds we are 0 for 2 here.

    Don’t use poison, if you can avoid it.

    Mainly because you don’t want a rat eating it, getting a tummy ache and crawling into your walls and dying, because it will create an unholy stink you cannot do a damned thing about without tearing open a wall.

    Traps are the way to go. Bait them with peanut butter, set them against the baseboards where you have seen poop, and check them every morning.

    I hung a bird feeder in my yard because we have a ton of Cardinals and they look very pretty, and there was this big wooden post in the center of the yard when we moved in with a hanging spot already drilled into it. It was awesome and my wife and I sat and watched birds and felt like we were adults enjoying our home.

    That lasted about 10 minutes until SQUIRRELS converged from all sides and it has been an all out war ever since.

    I cut up an amazon box to try to create a baffle so they couldn't climb the post and those fuckers figured out how to climb up the steps to the patio and jump and Nathan Drake hang on the baffle and do a goddamn pull up to get up there.

    There's also some weird mutant squirrel disease going around because we have 2 that are bizarre. One we call Black Phillip (from the Witch movie) - he is an all black squirrel with NO FUR on his tail whatsoever. He's insane and just throws himself at the feeder to knock stuff out. We thought he was a rat until we watched him climb. He looks like a huge black rat. The other is Bob and Bob has no tail at all. Like a little stub like a rabbits tail. We thought he was a rabbit until HE climbed.

    I have let the feeder sit empty for a few days because I am burning through birdseed because they just dump it all out every day I fill it up. It's empty by the time I get home from work. They're insane.
