After a while your brain adjusts so you don't feel tired anymore.
When does that happen? I've been tired for months.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe I'm just cynical, but I see $75k and think "handyman special"

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I see "nothing in this town worth paying a premium for.".

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I see $75k and think "Fuck, I wish our house was worth that."

I see 75K and think someone forgot a zero.
We went into an open house last Sunday in our neighborhood for a bungalow listed at 750K that was completely gutted and re-done inside. Things looked nice but there were some seriously stupid design decisions made (like upstairs where there is a master bath [no bathtub] without a door [one of 2 bathrooms without a door - must be a thing for them] and so anyone in the other bedroom upstairs either has to use the master bath or go down a flight of stairs. It was more important to have a master bath than to have a bathroom available to everyone up there, really?)

Because books.
See, there were lots of houses in the Central NY area in the $75,000 range. But there are no jobs, endless snow, and nothing to do if you don't like camping/lakes. So, not so much for me.
I want to own, despite the money pit Steph mentioned (which is always true), because I want to paint, and renovate, and make it MINE. Painting is usually okay wherever we've rented; ripping out walls, not so much.
Appropos of nothing, living in a college town means college guys jog by a lot. Often shirtless.
