It's a good thing to get explicitly stated, Nora. I'm sorry you are anxious about it, and I hope you don't need to be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
{{{Nora}}} You are being very generous by giving her several months to get on her feet.

Every day at around 11:30, a skinny blonde woman in skimpy clothes parks her bright yellow Jeep outside of my work window (she manages to get the same spot every time, even though it's metered parking and very busy). She runs across the street and is back within like 20 minutes. It's v. strange. I'd love to know what she's up to.

Nora, it's far better to make your expectations clear now rather than letting things simmer to a point where your only feelings towards her are resentment. I came dangerously close to that point with my best friend was living with me while trying to establish herself here.

Going for the three-fer: It's a little chilly today. YAY!

The status is NOT quo.
I want the corset AND the model.
Yes, I'm greedy.

Nora, clearing the air now is better than later. Your offer is a generous one, and it sounds like her budget needs some work (or a push in the right direction for prioritzing).
I'd love to know what she's up to.
Slutty skimpy clothes or o-la-la I love my body and I'm not afraid to use it skimpy clothes?

Yes, that's exactly what my therapist said! Though, to my knowledge, she never lived with your best friend.

I seriously need to start charging for my advice! (Also need to take my own advice. So, so much harder to do.)
ION, I started up with low-flying trapeze again (lessons a b'day present) and OMG OW OW OW everything hurts but especially my hands, forearms, biceps, shoulders, backs of knees! It is the most painful ... not sport exactly...not dance either...circus art?

Nora, that's great. I had a good friend stay with me for a month, and by the end of it, I was near a seething rage. He tried so hard to be accomodating, he practially was never there. OTOH, he never cleaned or anything like that. I didn't make my expectations clear, and I suffered for it.
We're still friends, largely I think becuase I wrote him a letter that expressed all of my anger, and mailed it, so I felt better. It came back insufficient postage or some crap. He never got it, but I felt better having written it down. Fate looking out, I guess
