Condolences, Maria.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”
Well, with the big time dryer fans running, it's like we have the world's biggest white noise machines in the house. The fumes from whatever they used as a mold preventative left me waking up with a migraine, but luckily, they seem to have dissipated, as has the headache after a nice long shower and coffee.
While I was never a big fan of the paneling downstairs, nor the carpet, it still makes me want to cry to see it all torn up. Clearly, I'm not one of those people who gets off on remodeling.

Landlady is helping me today. Woot! Mattress and boxspring are at curb for pickup, bedding is being washed, papers sorted and boxed.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
smonster's landlady is a rockstar! May the new one be pretty decent, as well.
Barb, I hope that the redecorating you end up doing turns out to be just right, as to make you more comfortable and happy in your lovely house, when all is said and done. And may you have less trouble dredging up the patience to endure until then than you think.

move out and draw fire
Maria, you and your family are in my thoughts.
I'm freaking exhausted today. The DH got back from El Salvador a little early, so we were actually able to catch the A's in Baltimore for their last game here. But that meant driving to and from Baltimore in nasty traffic and being outside for hours in 100-plus-degree heat and Code Orange air.
However, a nice dinner, an A's game, and a trip to Baltimore make an OK anniversary celebration.

Wow, that's awesome! I've never had a landlady or a landlord like that.
The window AC is working wonderfully today, which is great because it is supposed to be a scorcher.
