Still looking at apartments. Need to stop, but wanting this one: [link]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
vw, if it helps you stop with the looking and pining elsewhere, I must reiterate (or possibly iterate; I can't remember if I said it at all when I was actually there) how utterly charming your present apartment is. The pictures you've posted are very pretty, but even so they do no justice at all to its inherent quirky delight or to the excellent facelift you gave it. If I found a place like yours, I wouldn't move out until they carried me out feet first. Even if it didn't come with you and Emily and Toto and Bastet.

Awwww...thanks, JZ. I love our place. I really, really do. I'd stay here for a very long time IF we could afford to live in it with just me and Emily and Toto and Bastet. We're finding that we don't do well with a third roommate...especially a third roommate with a girlfriend who practically lives here. We're just too old and cranky and set in our ways. So, in starting to think about a two-bedroom (or a MUCH cheaper three-bedroom), I'm starting to dream of dishwashers and laundry in the building.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Catching up:
{{Cass}} It sounds like you made your grandmother's passing as peaceful and loving as possible. I hope you can feel peace soon.
{{Kristin}} I am so sorry, love.
Health~ma to Betsy. Get well, soon sweet dog.
I am finally feeling better. I was sick 12/29-1/2, went back to work for Tues and Wed of last week then decided I still wasn't well enough to work, so I took off Thursday and Friday. I just now am feeling human again. The snot monster not only took up residence in my body, but invited all its friends and they all reproduced. Damn snot orgy.

I was only suggesting a mediator for at least the paperwork because, even if you agree on absolutely everything, it is very complicated and very emotionally charged. It's just a layer to protect yourself from a lot of stress and pain.
My (albeit not personal) experience with mediation has been the same. And you'll know its done correctly. Y'alls divorce, even though its amicable, seems on the complicated end of the spectrum for amatures to "do it yourself" and while you technically CAN, it'll be more like "do yourself in". And the $200 might not even be a complete wash -- once the mediator does the bulk of the paperwork you could chose to do the filing yourself. Or you could sell it on Connecticut EBay!
She's the one with the daughter, only it turns out said daughter has all-over body hair and retractable claws.
And you are the one that woman has been dreaming of. Seriously. Just don't tell her about the mating habits of the daughter until your third or fourth date.
I took a sick day today. I just woke up and am feeling much better. Now I shall walk the dog, eat chicken soup, and clean stuff. And probably nap. Its a half sick/half housework day.

Oh! Trudes, I meant to ask you - my sister is going to be toodling around Manhattan for about ten days towards the end of this month. Cat sitting, of all things. Can I put her in touch with you? She'll have a lot of time to fill and not many people around to hang out with.
