Much ~ma to you and your DH's friends, Maria
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I'm glad you have friends with you, Maria. The whole process... coping feels impossible... time slows down... I don't really have anything helpful to say. I'm sorry.

Been thinking about you all day, Maria. Hope this difficult part passes quickly and uneventfully.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Wishing you strength and support today, Maria.

The real estate agent for the sellers was supposed to meet with them at 3 to discuss the fixes we want made to the house. I'm sick of getting the run around about how the sellers schedules are so difficult and would like to hear something now.

Aaaugh. We caught Ruthven marking the (thankfully empty!) shelf again. All the cats are banished downstairs as we are now moving furniture and cleaning. Later, I get to put ALL THE VAMPIRE BOOKS back in their bookcase. And maybe cull some of them.

Ick, Jilli. That sounds like no fun at all. I hope you can find a way to curb the behavior soon.
Bitca real estate agent (for the seller) is continuing to be a bitca. She did not respond full to every point we made in the counter offer, used vague language for those answers she did give, and once again did not provide my real estate agent with the phone call he asked her to make as a courtesy. She continues to act like it is a sellers market and how dare we ask for anything. I think my real estate agent and TCG are feeling like we should walk away and look into our other option. I am just really tired of this whole process. Plus, there is the added stress that by the end of this month we are supposed to tell our landlord whether we are going to renew our lease or leave by the 1st of May. At this point we're probably going to have to ask him to allow us to go month to month, and we have no idea how he is going to react to that. Things have not been good here lately, and he may be hoping he can just find other tenants who don't complain about the upstairs tenants so much. t /brain dump
Sorry to be so meme about all the house hunting stuff.

Because books.

If that's his attitude, he's got a problem. He should be working on getting them out, and finding more good tenants like you and TCG.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
So that's over.
Thank you everyone for the virtual hugs. They were absolutely needed. Hardest thing I've ever had to do.
