Can you move "his" chair out of the room, so he has access to it?

Unfortunately there's no place to put it. Which is why it's in the bedroom. He seems to have calmed down and Will and I put up cardboard. I'm going to go nail it in place and I may let the cats in the bedroom supervised until the window is fixed, which will be Monday.

Last wasn't so fun for me. Long story but basically I got sick on the area rug and it's kinda nasty so I decided at like 1 am to roll it up and get a new one.

I was looking at various places and showed Will some on Wal Mart (because they are cheap) and he convinced me to get the pirate skull and cross bones rug [link]

My upstairs neighbors have moved out. And I now have a new washer dryer, well their old, one -year-old one. I now have the corner of the building all to myself!

Just in time for the competitive tap dancers to move in!

That is the coolest rug EVER.

So I went to knitting circle tonight. It was packed, mostly this summer it's been 3 or 4 people but tonight it was 12. I just sat at my end and talked to 3 or 4 people but I think it was too much stimulation or something because I feel super anxious.

Love the skull & bones rug.

So, it feels like some kind of karma/special hell thing that I have people working in my house. I was like, "yay, I don't have to miss work." And now I'm like, "fuck, my only downtime is ruined by banging and there's dust everywhere and I have to pee and I want a shower."

Congrats to Tom Scola!!! woot!!!!

Love the rug, askye! And yay first day of work soon, Tom!

I got some bad news today. Financial. Basically, I thought I had found a way to affordably consolidate some bad debt into good debt without ruining my credit and got my hopes way up, and now it's looking like that isn't going to happen.

I know logically that I am no worse off than I was a week ago when I hadn't yet found a solution, but I'd really let myself begin to believe that this huge weight was going to be lifted. Somehow that makes it much harder. Sigh. Anyway.

Tom, great news! Hope the new job is fabulous.

Pix, I hate that shit. I tried to negotiate lower rates on my credit cards, and failed. Applied for a rewards card to do a balance transfer, and got rejected. It sucks.

Ugggh, I am so cranky. Up late again, still need to shower, did most of my evening routine but not all, and I'm annoyed with the dudes working in my house. They were shocked (SHOCKED I SAY) that pulling down plaster from the ceiling created a huge mess and black dust everywhere in the bathroom. Hi, have you ever worked in any old house EVER?

And then I come in to find they've gotten a woman (I assume one of their wives) to clean because "she's better at it." And she used Pinesol and an old school rag mop and the mop was sour and now it smells and I recleaned and it still smells and there's black smudges all over my bathroom and my tub and just... I am cranky.

This is going to be my third night in a row getting less than six hours sleep. Not good. I have got to catch up or I will get sick.
