I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

I wonder if I didn't reinjure my original injury yesterday?

I found an old wrap that I had and wrapped my knee with it and then hobbled to the corner store. (Can't do without tp.)

My plan for today - involves resting my leg while watching the MI-5 marathon on A&E.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I would like to know where that Rentometer gets its data. I know I'm paying less than you could likely get this apartment for right now, but more than most of my neighbors in the building are paying, thanks to rent stabilization.

I think they base their data on what's submitted. That's why they're asking for your address and not just your city and your rent.

Did I mention I met with a realtor yesterday and I'm going to look at houses today? Eeek! It's pretty exciting, but a little overwhelming too.

Oh, that is exciting!

I hope you have good househunting weather. (It's gray and rainy here today.)

What is even happening?

Sue, that's great! Good luck to you.

Thanks, it's actually very cold and blustery, but we'll be inside most of the time.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. Which, in a neighborhood like mine, would definitely drive the "average" way up. Somehow, I don't think the old ladies or the families with little kids are spending a lot of time online.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very exciting, Sue!

Good luck, Sue!

I've had a very productive morning already, and it's only 10:30ish! Got three loads of laundry done, and the cat has been to the vet and home. She now has clean ears (so hopefully no more scratching at them or shaking the head), trimmed claws (and I'm not going to let them get as long as they were today, since the vet is only a mile down the road and charges $5 less for claw trimming then PetSmart does), and is 1 1/3 pounds lighter than she was at her last checkup! She still has her beer gut, but at least it's smaller now.

She also still has the minor eye conjunctivitis that's she's had since I adopted her, but she won't sit still for the drops, so I had given up on trying. This vet said that the drops are still good for another 6 months or so and only need to be administered twice a day (not three times, like her old vet told me), so I'm going to try again.

Since I'm already dressed to go out, I think I'll head over to the clothes store and pick up a new winter coat (they're on sale through tomorrow--40% off!), and stop by Trader Joe's since all your talk about the goodies there last night have added to my grocery list!
