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.
I've got two words that are going to make all the pain go away. Miniature Golf.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
SIXTY CANDLES A DAY?!?!?!?No.
I have two packs left.
Only 40 a day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Doesn't do shit when the interior lights are off after sunset.
Well, yeah. That's no good in the long term!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
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.

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.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cashmere, THANK YOU for the button up the front girl clothes! I am going to take them to Grace within the next week.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So am I the only for whom this week lasted 15 and a half months?
I have had the longest week in Christendom, or empires of any given religion.
And I just got pointed to friendsreunited.co.uk where all my high school friends have little bios (this is where the UK hangs out on the web, it seems) and I'm so uber pissed to be missing next week's school reunion, you could imagine.
Despite not working for Playboy.
Also, I can't find my remote control.
