I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

We are renting a two bedroom house for all 4 of us. It's smaller than our older place and more expensive, but the yard is nicer, or was before all of the trees were trimmed back, and the school and district is 10000x better and we aren't living under the cancer causing powerlines anymore.

Okay. I have to finish writing the commentary on this piece of writing. MUST GET OFF INTERNET.

Do not want to work.

Oh, god, Connie, how scary! I'm glad he was okay, but that must have been terrifying for you.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Landlady just emailed me that a realtor is coming tomorrow to look at my apartment.

It's 10:30 pm! No, I am absolutely not comfortable leaving my apartment unlocked or a key with my nosey neighbor, because jesus, my place is trashed. Also, what if I hadn't checked my email tonight or even before I left for work tomorrow? I'm tempted to email her back when I'm on my way to work to say so sorry, too late.

Um, you say no. Most rental laws say 24 hours notice, barring emergency. Which this is not. You simply are not available. You can either not respond until sometime tomorrow (and presumably deny access unless she has keys, in which case, reply in the am with no.)

She has no keys, because I had to change the lock when I first moved in because they keys wouldn't copy right. I can see that I won't be getting any sleep tonight.

Thanks, sara.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Juliebird, definitely say no and then send a signed dated letter after checking the local laws in your area that a minimum of 24 hours notice is required and that either you or your landlord will have to be there for each entry. That is what we had to do when a landlord was trying to sell a place we lived in.

How scary, Connie. So glad everyone is safe. I can't imagine not wearing a helmet on a scooter, seems like an unnecessary risk.

BTW I love how many buffistae have a litter room in the house. Our back bathroom has basically been given over to the litter box as well.

Grace has a fever. I am worried that she has pneumonia. I realize it's 3AM, but I can't get back to sleep, while I wait for her pulse and temp to go down.

Our wings are not tired.

Poor boo, and poor you. Do you have one of those fingertip things to check her oxygen level?

Laura, yes. She wears it when she sleeps, in case she has a mucous plug and her 02 falls. Were it not for the monitor, we'd all be asleep.
