Both on the piano and other ways; hell, I made my Animal Crossing game use it as my village anthem!

All caught up on work! Michelle's swamped, so I'm just sitting around. Tried to sleep last night on the couch because I've been having sleeping problems for a week so far. Not to much positive effect, sadly.
I feel like I spend more on presents than people spend on me, hah. I know it's about giving more than receiving, just feels weird in a way how I don't feel like the things I receive really receive as much consideration. I'm just being bitchy though.
Re-gifted gift card from my parents (it literally says "to Dr. Lee"), a business casual outfit, stoneware, a copper-plated pan, and a LEGO figurine.
I suppose I would care less if the trip back up wasn't so disappointing. We left late because we would miss the snow based on the forecast and instead we kept getting swerving problems from the wind. We missed the decent buffet that we always pass by and instead went to this other buffet that seemed to be "rednecky" (to quote Michelle). They had peking duck, but the rest just wasn't up to par. We ended up overhearing some guy with a limp loudly regale the story about a kid with a different baby daddy to two old ladies while we quietly braced for a trip to find a drugstore to get some painkillers and an inhaler. By the time we made it to Burlington, the snow was back and in full fury, despite our best efforts.
I told Michelle that I reall just felt blah and wanted a day to myself after all this traveling. To be honest, I know we're there at her parents to relax, but I always feel worn out when we get back. Something about being there always wears me out, perhaps the inability to be by myself and just relax by myself, the constant need to attend to all the family functions, etc. I know they're really social people, but I'm ultra-introverted and just would like more time to myself in general.
Like I said though, at least today is quiet. Caught on my accounts that I was lagging behind on. Though to be fair, I took care of my work until 7pm on Thursday to make sure that everything was set that should be.
Michelle's swamped right now. She's one of the few people in her position who can do the work she's doing, so she has to make up for the lack of support (I told my mother that this is why we won't be fired anytime soon as we both cover relatively important aspects of the workflow reliably).
I took some photos of more things and I'll have them worked on as well, but I should think about planning dinner first. Going to need to get some vegetables since the fridge is pretty empty (Michelle teased me for wanting to get groceries last week since we were going to visit her parents during the weekend anyway, but they tend to eat really heavy meat diets so we end up getting fried foods and meats to bring back up. It's a mixed blessing).
I think today's lunch of chex-shaped Lays and dilly beans is unsurprisingly unsatisfying and a reminder that I should probably make a casserole anyway since this week's going to be a rough one. Maybe I'll do pho tonight.
Anyway, back to scanning my Twitter feed for news.
