Housing prices where I am are surprisingly high, but not too too high. My house has appreciated a lot in the 6 years I've had it.

But with 1000 square feet for just l'il ole me, it feels like a lot of space to store junk. However, just having one other person here can make it feel really small. My 2nd bedroom is called the guest room, but is really the laundry drying room most of its days.

Timelies all!

Congrats, Gud!

Our townhouse has 4 bedrooms, which are used as our bedroom, the guest bedroom, the computer room and the library.(Though we are an example of the phrase "We gave the books a room and now they want the whole house".)

Our "decorating theme" is, approximately, "Hey, Look, An Antique Egg Incubator Came In To Work And I Brought It Home!"

But it no longer includes the driveway drill press. The lack is appalling.

Foot has been x-rayed. No results as yet. No karate today.

I'm going back to my first chorus rehearsal tonight. I'm weirdly nervous, because it should be really straightforward, and it's just music from video games, and yet I'm still kind of queasy. But I need to eat before I go, because I can't sing for three hours on an empty stomach.

You know what I learned today? That if you need a big decision made in my org, you have to fill out a "Decision Request Form."

That is hilarious.

Have you seen this form? Take a picture and we can make it go viral.

I have not. I may have to poke around our intranet tomorrow.

I think, from the context of what was being discussed, that it might actually be an IT thing, but I am not 100%. It may just be for big decisions...

Congratulations, Gud!

I live in a two-bedroom apartment. But I have awesome neighbors [waves to Amyth], and since it's just me and the cat I don't need that much space.

Congratulations, Gud!

We lived in a sturdy older home with a terrible layout. Now we have an older double-wide in an attractive neighborhood with pretty stringent rules. The layout makes sense, after years of trying to manage with walls that jogged around a central staircase and roof dormers, and closets that sloped under the roof so they were impractical.

We have two decent-sized bedrooms, the closet off the master is 6x10--I've had bedrooms smaller--a decent closet in the second bedroom, a linen closet, two baths, a dining room big enough for the antique breakfront and a table with two leaves that will seat eight, a decent sized kitchen with a w/d and shelving behind louvered doors, a separate pantry, a functional airlock back porch for minor storage, a covered deck large enough to hold seating for six or eight people, or more, cozily. There's a separate closet by the front door for coats and seldom-used things, the living room is large enough that we could easily use part of it for an office, or a dining area, should we want to close off the dining room for another bedroom or a more private office.

We have far more usable space, and it's all accessible. Not to mention the weather-tight shed H uses as a workshop, but which also has a full loft for storage.

Our furnishings, wall art, and books have been accrued, like a nautilus' shell, and reflect where we've been, as well as where we hope to go.
