Oh Taz. I hope you heal up quickly.
I feel like CRAP. Yesterday's vending event on the heels of the badwrong abx has left me feeling as if I've been strung up on a rack. And my brain is all fuzzy.

Tomorrow I get up early (for me) to go to a tech industry career fair. I'm trying to decide what to wear. I'm thinking black skirts (with petticoats, because I don't hide who I am), black sleeveless (yet high-collar) blouse, pink blazer with narrow black stripes, hair pulled back, glasses. And makeup, but that's a given. What do you folks think?
When you buy a place, the living there part lasts a whole lot longer than the move-in cuteness.
Yeah, don't do it. Location, location, location. Plus, if they're having huge HOAs now, who knows if they'll need to jack it higher?!?
Aw Taz. Much healing-ma for the poor boo.
That's what I'm thinking. It's just 6 months of only seeing crappy, worn down foreclosure properties makes you grabby fingers at pretty, affordable place.
I wish I'd gone for location when I bought, but to be honest? I couldn't afford anything in any of the locations I would have liked. I bought where my paycheck would allow. I don't hate it, but I don't love it, either. I'm constantly thinking of selling just so I can go back to apartment living in an area of town I do like. My two cents, FWIW.

It doesn't help that my current apartment sucks, and I just want to move. If I move to another apartment, then I'll have to sign a year lease, which means breaking lease if I do find glorious condo I can afford, which just adds to the cost of things all the more.
Even though I'm making A fair amount more than my last SoCal job, and the market is down, I still can't afford to buy out here. Kinda depressing.
My place is a joy in a lot of ways, all of which are location related. I've put up with a LOT of stuff over the years because I love it so much. 13 years later, I'm grateful I didn't go for the other things I could have compromised on.
Yeah, it's in Sterling.
Just reading that makes my jaw tighten. It's not just a commute, it's an ugly commute.
On the up side, if you do the play, you could give no-show actor boy a taste of what it's like (although I know you're much too responsible to flake out on a show).
