Someone please award me a holiday peace prize;

I’m hosting, and a family member that’s visiting loaded the dish washer like a savage.

I placed my fork in, turned it on, and walked away…

Had a National Lapoons Christmas Vacation situ going on today

We borrowed a neighbors wood chipper for the day and brought it back to their house

A man with β€˜Cousin Eddy’ vibe appears and I tell him we’re bringing the wood chipper back, his reply β€œI didn’t know he had one, this is great!”

Comic. Graph with x-axis is time and y-axis is productivity when a major internet service goes down, showing that after the outage begins the line splits, with one end trending down for people whose work relies on the service and with an upward boost for people whose work doesn’t rely on the service. Top branch of line has mini art of a person sitting at their computer desk thinking, β€œAw man, the outage took down the Star Wars Legends Wiki.”
