Update: baby sis is home for the weekend! And has treated us with the biggest eyeroll imaginable for worrying about her, ugh, KIDS. She went down south yesterday, and then was called back to her homebase a bit further away from the action, where she and her unit are prepared and waiting to see if they get any orders. Since it's sitting and waiting time, they let her home Friday afternoon, and she'll have to return at some point tomorrow. She seems fine, getting acclimated to the new people and re-acclimated to the military environment; she's not sharing too many feelings, but I get the sense that she's okay, and will be, handling this. Next week she will have been released from the army for exactly a year; I hope she'll be able to celebrate the anniversary as a civilian again. Which like. Should be everyone's default mode, right?
Had to get my car inspected this morning, so I set an alarm for 8AM, 9AM and 10AM, with snooze intervals every 20 minutes - my snooze button gets good work Friday mornings - and ended up falling asleep again, waking up to a siren (the only one I heard today). By the time I got up and decided that yes, okay, I will drag my PJ'd self downstairs, I'd already heard the booms which mean the rockets have been shot down, and figured, the danger is probably gone, and I'd been dragging my feel too long anyway. Common wisdom is you'll hear booms in two occasions - if it lands close to you, in which case you'll heat the impact and it will be loud (and rare), or if it's shot down from the air, in which case the shock wave echoes spreads far and wide, and you'll hear the faint boom even from a long distance. In any case, I will not slack off next time. Even when rockets are shot down, there's still debris; a piece of it actually fell at the end of my sister's street, meep.
The rest of the day was nice. Car is all set for 2015, laundry is done, met![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
marina and we watched Frozen (so much cuteness in that movie, god), and the entire family was at my folks' for dinner. There are delightful things happening in my fandom right now, Masters of Sex returns tomorrow, and this week is finally over.
Tomorrow I'm hoping to do some fannishly productive things. LET'S SEE IF IT WORKS.
