{{{Nora}}} You are being very generous by giving her several months to get on her feet.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

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

This one. She looks pretty athletic and there is a bike shop across the street. Why she'd need to be in there daily for 20 minutes is a mystery, though...
I bought my niece the stuff for her Hello Kitty costume after checking in with bro/SIL. I also came across something that had to be bought for the wee nephew as well (though they're planning on reusing the pumpkin costume I bought for B when she was a baby): [link]
