Nora, if you had a landlord, they'd be promising you repairs on Friday, so you'ld stay home from work and swelter no one would come or call to explain why. After you leave many ever more furious messages, a guy would finally show up next Tuesday.

Signed, Have Had Some Horrendous Landlords

Why God, WHY?!?!? Spats

Vortex - can I call you and put you on speakerphone? That would just make the day perfect.

you have my cell, right?

Oh, Hec and JZ, what a scary day. Hugs to you all and to EM too. And much as I hate hospitalization, it usually gives me the kick in the pants I need to get back on track and find a little hope. I hope that if EM needs a hospitalization that it will do that for her.

Poor Nora! What is with today?

Also, it's freaking hot out. It's so hot out that I don't want to know what the temperature it is. I may never leave my air conditioned apartment again.

Wow. Those are horrible spats. And I *like* the idea of spats! [link] (Warning, flash intro thingummie. But gorgeous spats!)

Also, I have a new money-suck love: [link]

I think this is your default response to wrong things today...

Deleted to protect the innocent me.

Thank you, Jilli! I was thinking of that exact lovely-spats website when Vortex posted the Spats From Hell, but I couldn't remember the address. I very badly needed to look at some pretties just now.

It's my default response to everything today. Stepping off the wagon tonight, baybee!

(And the Quebecois Menace requires something stronger than Fernet. Possibly Chartreuse.)
