I can't believe Trudy has a place with
separate rooms!
That's astonishing. Are you still in the same area of the city?
I need to mark Sean's recipe. Le yum.
So in meme news, I woke up crazy. I had intense dreams all night, and what's worse, intense rejection/self-esteem dreams. I woke up still half in that dream world feeling rejected and unloved (which, yes, I know is insane) and generally out of place in my current reality. Ack!
Also, I was supposed to not have any subbing tomorrow so I could ease back into my school life (my 9th graders are all on their field trip, so no regular classes), but I just got an email asking me to sub all day. Argh.
At the Maker Faire today, it was announced that a new MacGyver film may be in the works. On my way to Boxed Set to post the link....
Kristin, is it possible for you to tactfully turn down the subbing request due to your getting over illness?

I've moved 75 blocks north -- from the Upper West Side to Washington Heights. Its a lot like my old neighborhood was when I moved there five years ago.
I was hesitant to give up a rent stabilized studio apartment in an up and coming neighborhood, but the opportunity arose for a rent stabilized three bedroom in the
next
up and coming neighborhood so I took it.
I'll need to have roommates for a couple of years, but eventually that won't be necessary.
My new bedroom is larger by 20 square feet than my old apartment in its entirety.

No, unfortunately. Not without political repercussions. I'll be fine; I'm just bummed that my easy day is not going to be as easy as I'd hoped.
Trudy, that sounds amazing.
Yay, Trudy! Your new place sounds great.
I'm waiting to hear back from someone on craigslist about a free portable dishwasher. I should be packing.
Argh. I washed my mattress pad. The dryer melted the backing. Now it's all crinkly and parts are stuck together. I guess this gives me an excuse to buy a new one?
You know when you begin to emerge from a long illness and get your first clear look at the state of your home? Yeah. I'm tidying and decluttering in fits and starts since too much activity leads to coughing fits. Add normal chaos to the fact that ND switched the front part of the house around completely at the height of my illness (putting his office in what was the extra bedroom, etc.), and I'll admit to being a bit daunted at the scope of what needs to be done.
keep popping off the mattress while I'm sleeping
Get some wide elastic banding, fold the ends over and sew to keep end from unraveling, place safety pins at each end, pin over corners and create an artificial "pocket." That's what my mom used to do.
I have marked the chicken recipes and look forward to using them.
However, currently we're in the throes leaving tomorrow for VEGAS, BABY!
Four nights at a 4-star hotel. Magic show on Tuesday, everything else wide open--god, this is going to be fun.
