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

Ooh, askye, I had an under-the-stairs closet once, it was pretty sweet! I've loved in a surprising number of places with no closets at all, I really appreciate them. I don't have great closets here - what looks like a coat closet in the living room actually is full of oven, for example, and the office has no closet so it wouldn't make a good bedroom, and the room with the litter boxes just has those modular shelves with poles on the wall to hold clothes. But the shed is awesome, and the garage isn't bad, so I can't complain about storage.

I've got 3BR/1BA right now, which is more space than I need, but not enough to add a roommate, I don't think. Not the way it's laid out. And it is, in fact, entirely full of my stuff at the moment, because I have a lot of stuff and it is really not organized. I have a dream of putting a floor in the attic and permanent stairs and skylights and perhaps some plumbing and moving up there and renting out the bottom floor.

I don't really understand decor. I have stuff. Sometimes I put some effort into trying to get new stuff that'll look okay with the stuff I already have. Sometimes.

My new lawnmower came, huzzah! I'm gonna have a popsicle and then see if I can put that sucker together.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

3 bd room 1 bath. Well there is a second full bath in the garage, but... There is no good way to g et to it from the. House because it I s a full working shop. Which will get - improved why we finish getting the electrical redone. One bedroom, one office (that has a slightly different future) and the music /guest room. It is less than 1400 sq ft and a 1955 rat maze. I've drawn out a design for after the big one- smaller,but no more maze

I'm sorry for pointing out a typo, but it's the most evocative typo I've seen in ages.

I think mine is right aroun 1000 sq ft, including the garage (I measured everything when we moved in and added it all up, but I'm not sure where I put those calculations. I need to do that again now that my phone can do it magically. I wonder if I can use my phone to determine where my floor is sinking? But I digress), 1954 but heavily modified in somewhat peculiar ways by previous owners. There was definitely an ironworker in residence, there are mostly cool tell-tale artifacts but also the occasional "why did this have to be welded together?!?" surprise.

Ha! I'll leave it, Connie. Who needs a closet when you've got love, after all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is "genuine" Roman speak as dick-laden and gay-snapping as Spartacus dialogue? Everything's a cock or a cunt, always negative. The language feels different between the first season and the prequel too.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

Our current apartment is 2 bedrooms and less than 900sf. But laid out pretty well. 2 bathrooms is now a non-negotiable. We use one as our bedroom and the second as the office/library/guest room. I wouldn't mind a third bedroom or dedicated office space, but I don't need it.

I've got 2 small closets in my bedroom [link] , a useless corner closet in the Litter room and a deep but narrow walkin in the spare bedroom. And a wedge shaped coat closet downstairs. I thought closet space would be an issue, but it really has not. Though I should put shelves in the useless corner closet.

But I have a huge basement, which also has huge 'closets' (Shelves enclosed in beadboard with 3 doors) under the stairs and against the garage, though the door location awkwardness means I don't actually use them much. [link] I forget stuff is in them. The basement is chaos.

Home from work with a bad case of the shakes.

A guy was riding a scooter ahead of me, and he drifted over too far and hit the divider. He flipped a rolled a few times, thankfully staying in the lane. No helmet, helmet laws for grownups are considere governmental intrusion into a citizen's freedoms. He popped right back up and looked ok but shaken.

But if I'd been five feet closer, I'd have probably run over him. As it was, I always give lots of space and I could see him drifting over and wonder what he was doing. I had room to stop without squealing the brakes. And sit numbly while people went around.

God above.
