Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
sj, glad to hear the fever has been conquered! Good news.
Also good news to hear that you don't need hospitalization, vw. Still, not being able to breathe properly sucks. I hope the increased steroids do the trick.
Cindy, I hope your friend's kidlet gets treated successfully. They've made such progress in treating childhood leukemia, it's much more likely to be cured today than ever before.
IOmeN, I actually took a nap this afternoon. Wow, did it feel good; I really needed it. I had about 4 nights of no sleep to catch up on. Fortunately, that should be fixed now. My doctor accidentally renewed my AD prescription for half the dose I'd been taking and until we got that straightened out, I found that the half dose doesn't help me sleep through the night. Ugh. I'm back on the original dose, but until I get un-sleep-deprived, me and the bed? Best friends, forevah!
Especially now that Paul's hacked ours so that I can refill it with Murphy's Oil Soap instead.
Duuuude. That makes me wish I had wood floors again.
Bad, bad hospitalization talk. But I also demand that you feel better soon, vw.
So... There's an apt (in Pamela's neighborhood actually) in Portland with a two-month lease cause the person is moving. Am I crazy for considering this?
Two bedrooms, fireplace, no deposit and not crazy high rent during the two months... It's in a nice area - not one that I want to stay in being single and in a new city but certainly a nice area. Am I crazy?
Craigslist and such is helpful but I am really picky about finding places to live and not being able to see them? Well it's hard to want to commit.
These [link] (editted to link to yahoo images of the layouts and not my actual possible new address) doesn't seem so bad though. I likely wouldn't stay there longer but for two months at $800?
That's funny, Cass; my condo community has the same name as those apartments. For two months, that's a great price and in the time you're there you can find somewhere more amenable to what you like.
Right???
It's five and a half miles from Pamela. Right next to the freeway... And two months.
And it's got both a bathtub and a fireplace.
I think having a month or two to acutally choose the neighborhood you want to live in is a great opportunity.
ETA: Is it furnished? Could you leave most of your stuff in storage until you choose a more permanent place? If so, I'd say go for it.
Glad you're home, vw. Get well vibes being aimed your way.
Cass, if you think you'll be good about looking at other places during those two months, I say go for it.
When I was in high school, one of the drama geeks had a Siamese cat named Suzuki that went everywhere with him. The admins were able to keep Suzuki out of classtime, but whenever there was a play or something, Suzuki was perched on his human's shoulders, peering out at the world and conversing mysteriously with said human.
Not furnished but I could still leave a lot in storage.
Cass, if you think you'll be good about looking at other places during those two months, I say go for it.
You are implying that I am being good at looking for places now? Hell no. But I occasionally give 'fistas the right to nag me. This would be one of those times.
And there have been a few places that sound either fabulous or iffy and since I can't go see them? I waver. If I could drive by? And then look at them?
I figure having only two months there would give me no leeway on putting off looking for a more permanent hell, so I just get there and start looking. Right?
I wish I didn't know me so well. I am hopeless.
But the cool thing is, you've got local friends to help you with the looking! That makes it something fun to do. Apartment hunting, with booze! And movies and, stuff. Good times.
