Congratulations, Kristin! It sounds very exciting. Sending you lots of strength for getting through the next few months, too.
Lilty, that does sound awful. Deadbolts and some self-defense tips sound like a very good idea for everyone.
I can't believe it's June. Wasn't it just Christmastime?
Timelies!
I'm still without internet service at home. Which sucks so bad. I called to find out what the ETA for my dsl modem was and got some chick who told me I wasn't getting it because I hadn't paid $99.95. Something that was never mentioned to me on Monday. Luckily she transfered me to someone who told me that the first woman was on crack. (paraphrasing there) and that the modem was free and shipped yesterday. So I should get it today or tomorrow.
Living alone has been great. I love it. However I'm still getting used to the quirks of the house. The backdoor only has a deadbolt, so I have to keep looking for my keys to lock and unlock it. I'm getting a copy made and keeping it in the kitchen. And the stove doesn't sit flush with the wall and while I was making dinner I managed to flip a piece of chicken behind the stove. I couldn't move it on my own so Mom's going to come over and we're going to move it. And while it's moved I'm going to clean back there.
My cat is adjusting okay, she only spent a little time hiding under the bed and give me "bitch! you betrayed me!" looks.
June will likely kill me. However, if I don't die or kill anyone else, or quit my job, then, iPod in July!
Hating June already.
Wasn't it just Christmastime?
Yes. But, soon it will be my birthday, so all will be ok.
askye, how exciting! Sorry about the no Internet service, but hopefully it will be resolved soon.
Nora, iPod! iPod! iPod! iPod! Also, {{{Nora}}}

This sounds so very much like something I would do. Actually, I think there's still a Chlorox bleach pen behind our washer.
Yay for moving in and the new modem coming! Glad you (and the kitty) are adjusting.
vw -- thanks!
It doesn't quite feel like home because I can't get online and post from there.
But, soon it will be my birthday, so all will be ok.
I keep waiting for mine to be declared a national holiday, but so far no luck.
June will likely kill me.
Taming June~ma to Nora.
What's going to kill me is Sara -- in the past month, she's decided that if she wakes up in the middle of the night, it's imperative that she scream and scream until we give in and bring her into bed with us. She always slept so well, I don't know what's going on. And she goes to bed awake at bedtime, so it's not a matter of her not being able to fall asleep on her own. At 2:30 a.m. (or 3:30 or 4:30), I just don't have the energy to go in and soothe her fifteen times until she gets the message that she has to go back to sleep in her crib. But a squirmy toddler in the bed does not make for a restful night.
Congratulations, Kristin! I'm eager to hear more whenever you're ready.
Yikes, Lilty. A family self-defense course sounds like an excellent idea to me. Anything that will help your great-aunt, etc., feel capable of holding him off until the police get there, should he try to force his way into the house or something. Deadbolts would probably help with that, as well.
Yay, house of your own, askye! Yay! When I've had doors that could only open with a key, I've left a copy stuck in the inside of the lock all the time. There may be a reason not to do that, but I don't know it if there is.
{{Nora}} At least you have achievable goals. Are you going to keep working where you are when you start school?
