Yeah repainting to neutral colors might help. It's hard for us to think about investing in that place right now. The energy and money is going into our home here. He does have friends renting it now for part of the mortgage and he can stay there when he's back for work so that's something but not a perm solution.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bright-sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America
That looks really good. I loved Nickel and Dimed, but that's the only book of hers I've read.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Damn -- juliana beat me to the kitty litter suggestion. Mostly because I forgot it by the time I got to the entry box, but still.

Ooh. Amazing fantasy armor leatherwork
I'm not sure exactly what it means to be "hell bent for leather," but I am sure that this is the outfit you want to be wearing while you're thusly engaged. Prince Armory is (mostly) Samuel Lee, who goes by *Azmal on deviantART. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was a great antidote to the wrongheaded keynote speaker I saw last week who started going down the road of people making themselves sick -- which makes me INSANE. She told a story of a woman who stopped doing art, became a successful executive, but got fibroids. Yeah, I'm pretty sure not dancing isn't what causes fibroids.
