Well, that was an excitement I didn't need. I was all set to go to sleep last night when suddenly and inexplicably I heard a very loud bang. Short sharp bang, loud, no echo that I heard, no whistle or crackle like a firework, no sounds before or after it that I could discern. No... echoy sound? like a transformer blowing and no flicker in power. No fucking clue what it was. After some dithering at the boy (who I probably freaked out, poor thing, by saying I thought I heard a gunshot) I called the police non-emergency line since nothing ELSE was happening, they said they'd send someone around and asked if I'd like to talk to them, I gave a statement over the phone and stayed up the rest of the hour in case the cop did see/hear something and come by to ask me what I'd seen or heard.

And then today there was an alert from the police twitter about someone who had barricaded himself in his house and was shooting out of it. Not near me, in a more wealthy district, which surprised me. But still. Fucksake everything.

I booked my bus tickets for DragonCon! Which should be exciting and is instead oh god one more thing I have to spend money on/oh god one more thing I have to logistic why. I am just very tired and itchy from some particularly gross-looking bug bites and don't want to adult today and yet here I am at work.

And I want potato chips. If I was smart I would have asked the boy to pick up some potato chips when he was getting his cortisone cream this morning. Alas, I was neither smart nor particularly awake. I did, however, get chips. Work is relatively light. And I just found out about the suicide bombing at a Pakistan hospital so I think I'm going to turn off most every internet except gdocs, Spotify, and chat right now and try and quietly knock off some of my to-do list before I collapse sobbing.
