Ginger, I'm surprised you just said fucking afternoon and not "Fuck you, asshat!"
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow- my coworker is moving her 2 children to an actual daycare from a woman in a house, and it is going to actually be $1700 a month, and that appears to be the "cheap daycare. And we are in upstate NY, and I don't think my cowworker makes more than a couple of hundred more than that a month. She doesn't even like her job, but she and her husband feel they can't get along without that extra per month. Frankly, I am pretty sure they could, but it would mean huge lifestyle changes.

Came home to plaster chunks and dirt all over the bathroom. I am not dealing well.

I seem to remember msbelle mentioning a drippy ceiling?
I just made my plane reservation, so I'm actually indeed going to Vividcon next week. I'm finishing up one course, I'm starting to look for permanent employment, and dammit, I need a Reward, so this is going to be it.
ION, my desktop computer is still at the repair place. SIGH

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh dear.

Ginger, I'm sorry the situation that person put you through was so annoying that it required using harsh language.
msbelle, I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Fingers crossed that the damage is minimal and things are sorted out as easily and quickly as possible.

We've just moved to the land of $540-a-month daycare (from the land of $1000-1200), and I loooove it. Maybe not quite enough to have another child to take advantage of it, though. Also, after-school care is $6 a day, for 2:30-6:00! Let's hear it for small college towns in the south!

It' from the workmen cutting a whole in the ceiling to fix the source of the leak. They tossed my bathmats over the things I had removed from the sink (including our toothbrushes!). Then poorly taped up some plastic over the hole in the ceiling. I guess the upstairs neighbors walking around or something jostled more ceiling loose and the plastic came down with all the debris.
I am just removing everything from the bathroom except for some things I'll put into the tub, then put my own tarp over it.
Now I need to go clean out the shower so mac can wash later. I had to take a break from the cleaning to get dinner.
My bitter goes to 11.

msbelle, I'm sorry you have to deal with this.
ION, pulling up carpet is still NO fun. I think I first bitched in Bitches. DH and I will soon start putting in the new dinning room/kitchen floor. But first we have to pull up the glued down indoor/outdoor carpet. work
