Smonster, I am pretty sure it's illegal to have a tenant living without water this long. I am glad you have Nora and Tom, but still. What if you didn't? It's untenable.
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

[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.

Compassionately intolerant
Thank goodness smonster! Yay for imminent water and responsible landlord.
Wow. You know that wall that you hear so much about hitting?
I've just found it.
SMACK!
Having awakened at 2, getting up to work and pretty much running since then, I've suddenly gone all puddin' head...to the degree that I'm having a really hard time typing.
It's only 5:30! I can't go to bed, can I? But, I cannot brane.
Crap. What am I going to do?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Damn, sj. That's not right. Will your doctor go to bat for you, if the other PT won't?
I really don't know. She has only been my PCP since I have been married. I like her, she listens and she is efficient, but I don't know if she will be willing to go to bat for me on this. Lea also suggested talking to the head of the PT department if I get nowhere with the assistant PT, since that is who my lead PT is blaming for this.
And, getting back to your previous question, the other thing I don't feel like I can do on my own in periodically re-evaluate how I am doing, what I still need to work on etc.
I'm starting to feel really depressed about all this. Why does everything always have to feel like one step forward and two steps back?

Oh, and yay for progress on the water situation!

They pretty much ignore me. Marley's on your hat.
Yeah, he loves sitting on that hat. It was on the table near the kitchen, and he sat on it there all the time. Then I moved it and he set up shop in the office. Hat sitting. What are you gonna do?
It's a bit of a relief that he didn't actually understand the gravity of the situation, just from a scuzzball slumlord POV. Glad he does now.

Not to sound like a downer, but I have found that most of life for me feels like this a lot of the time.
God. My stress levels are absolutely stretched out to the max. WHAT is going on? I'm beginning to think that vacation cannot come soon enough or last long enough. At this point I think I'm in a feedback loop - being stressed out about my stress.

Nora, I'm sorry you also feel that way, but I find it somewhat comforting not to be the only one.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I think that's how life IS. There is no clear-cut progression. You just keep moving and eventually the forward steps outnumber the back.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Count me in on the back and forth shuffle of life. For sure.
javachik, at this point it's how fast we can get a plumber here and then pay the fine and I have to pay a deposit. And tomorrow's Friday. He also offered to run a "work-around" pipe for a few days, if necessary.
May have scored an awesome wood chest from my neighbor, gave my leftover puppy pads to another neighbor, met two more new transplants from NC with an adorable runty boxer, and gave my number to another guy who knows people looking for a place to live, all in the space of about twenty minutes. Irish Channel likes carrots.
Speaking of, I may be able to actually report on whether St.W likes carrots, or at least my spicy carrot slaw.

Nora, I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. Did you have a release party last night? How did it go?

It surely does.
