Our landlord called back this morning, and I'm glad I called him last night because he said (without my asking again) that he would let us out of our lease early if we need too.
Yay!
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Zen, are you looking to restring it? I like how it looks on the wire and would leave it the way it is. As ita ! noted, if it breaks, you are likely to only need to redo the one or two sections that need fixing. Plus it's so cheap! I would buy it if I were you.

If you do restring that, Zen, you could do knots between the beads to minimize the loss if the string does break. When I string beads, I use 20-pound test fishing line.

erika, the Biscuit had extensive dental work done recently, several teeth pulled, and he came through it fine and was much happier when it was done. Wishing your doggie good dental health.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I just got another necklace I bought that's strung on wire the same way. It's not as annoying as I feared it would be. So yeah... I bought it.
Okay, Self, that's enough with the frivolous spending for this year.

For heavy beads tigertail works well - it holds up to the weight, is less likely to be rubbed through by rough edges. It also gets kinky ... but not in a good way.

I am having a bad week. Pete has the flu, I'm feeling extra-worn-down from my collection of medical things, I'm in the middle of PMS, writing is not going well, and the job hunt has been particularly awful. I would like to cry, take a nap, and have someone bring me tasty food, cupcakes, and booze.

Some days the most appropriate reaction is to lay down in the middle of the floor, kick your feet, and scream.
But then the cat comes in and looks at you funny.

So, a psycho-pharmaceutical question.
On the whole, I feel fairly mellow/content/at peace with my lot in life. But two or three days a month, weeping despair takes hold. It might be hormonal, I'm starting to track it, plus there's the onset of menopause to consider. I don't want to take anything full time to fight 2-3 days of madness, but that mess really can't go on. Are there temporary things out there that will buffer the effects of intermittent insanity?
