I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So, new bath towels: wash before first use?

Absolutely. I figure there's liable to be, like, I don't know, starch or something left over from manufacture in anything fabric. Stuff I want to wash out, anyway.

My mom keeps track of me on "Find My Friends", the iOS app, not constantly but she looks to see where I am whenever she thinks of it, which amuses me and kind of horrifies my father. I think it's more a matter of curiosity than worry, though I have been known to suddenly decide to travel and not think to tell anyone so keeping tabs on me might just be good sense.

That's very cool, Suzi. You deserve all kinds of rewards for how hard you've been working, and I'm glad your move worked out so well (even if it took you away from here).

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Stuff I have done in the last three weeks:

  • Cleaned most of the things
  • Put up two sets of shelves
  • One new dresser
  • Had four posters framed and put them up
  • New shower curtains
  • New pillows
  • Fluffed the futon
  • New towels and washcloths

Also, had the maintenance guy:

  • replace the fridge
  • replace the stove
  • caulk the shower
  • put up towel rack
  • replace sink trap

And had the women who sells me refurbished furniture fix my chair.

Thanks. My apartment no longer looks like a depressed person lives here.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo to Tommy and Suzi both!

Punishingly Intricate

Way to go, Tommy & Suzi!!

I'm a total traveler worrier. Mostly about Bob. We have a whole text when getting on the plane, text when landed thing that works.

With all of sarameg's car talk, I'm getting anxious about working out getting a new car before the situation is an emergency. I am still hoping to get to 200k (am at 191,500 now) and a good amount saved for a down payment but I think I may at least start test driving some cars so I really know what I'm going to be looking for.

I have now given my broker all the documents but the ones I have to sign and return. Cause I need a working printer. That's at work.

It's a miracle that someone with my organizational DISASTER was able to actually find everything. At least so much of it lives online these days.

YOU GUYS! It is RAINING and I'm not worried about how swampy stinky my car is gonna be!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I just read the Pope article. Holy shit, he actually used Jesus' words to back up his point about people doing good works?

He did! (Plus, I like to imagine him thinking to himself, "Take that, Lutherans!")
