Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I wasn't even at work on Monday, and the week was really long!
Also, a selling point of my building was the fact that even the stairways have windows. As do all the rooms in my apartment. I've had to walk up and/or down pitch black stairways in power outages a couple of times before, and it's cuh-reepy.
One wall of the stairwell is all windows. Doesn't do shit when the interior lights are off after sunset. I've been unlocking my door by feel and warily making my way up the stairs. It ain't a great neighborhood, it's a serious secuity issue. I've bitched twice (this started due to a blackout) and still the asses in maintenance haven't fixed it. I even mentioned it to my best maintenance guy in passing, but I figure he just forgot. He's from Trinidad, I like just talking to him and he helped me kick their asses with the a/c.
SIXTY CANDLES A DAY?!?!?!?No.
I have two packs left.
Only 40 a day.

Well, yeah. That's no good in the long term!
So...apparently it's not so much that nobody was posting in Natter as it was that I'd forgotten to subscribe to the new thread. Iiiiiinteresting...
DAMN. We were all whispering thinking you wouldn't find us.
Cashmere, THANK YOU for the button up the front girl clothes! I am going to take them to Grace within the next week.
Only 40 a day.
JUNKIE
I'm a horrid arid-dweller. I just took a hot shower because I COULD. I didn't need it, except feeling gross from the morning's bucket bath.
My god, that felt good.
Daisy! (catching up) be sure to ride the old original subway in Budapest! I think it's the yellow line, but I'm not sure. It's the one on tank treads. Fun! Or it was, in 1996 (holy fuck, that's a time ago!) I was discombobulated in BP for a bunch of reasons, but I wish I weren't. I clearly recall that metro ride, phone cards, getting lost in the boonies trying to find some flea market, some church/castle structure and Gellert(? fawncy cafe and pastry shop. Espresso in the most delicate of flowered cups. You could see through them.)

You're welcome. I kept finding front & side botton stuff and setting it aside while we were getting ready for the move. I hope Gracie gets a lot of use out of them.
It was a CRAXY day today. I had movers, unpackers and painters in the new house and carpenters and painters in the old--all the while supervising activity in two houses in two states. But it all is coming together for such a quick move. I am quite happy and satisfied with how well things are going.
