A day in the life of an Engineer Dragon.

Today was messed up royal.
8AM: Mom is sloshed and I need to get Kaye to work. Commence shoveling 1/8 mile driveway.
10AM: Return home from Fairhaven to lakeville. Mom is even more sloshed. Mom blows up at me, saying all sorts of nasty stuff. I go out and basically show my dad how to fix his snow blower. I then head back here to grab a nap before work.
130PM: Come back to the main house to find no snowblowing has been done, and a Lakeville police officer is in our house. My dad explains that mom has been arrested after apparently setting part of her room on fire and nearly breaking his jaw with a diet coke can.
2:30PM Arrive to work to find out that we're all out of Gasoline, Bread, The holiday 2$ ticket, and all the sandwiches.
11:00PM: Arrive home to find STILL no snowblowing has been done. Park car at end of drive and shovel path from driveway to Garage. At this point, I have done by hand what usually takes an hour or so with a machine.
11:45PM: Finally get home, Lug 5 gallon jug to top of stairs, open creatively and plumb with part of my winemaking racking cane apparatus to make a very effective water dispenser.

I know you're a man, and I know you're strong, but if you are even a bit weak after all that, I'll give you a good hug.
it sounds weird, but I'm serious :< Good luck, dude.
