Usually talking about a problem out loud will stop the anxiety dreams, which is a good thing.

Jilli, I was at Target today and didn't see the Beetljuice underwear, but they did have Jack Skellington ones, bikini style. Let me know if you want them, if not I'm happy to keep them.

Always Anti-fascist!

Sometimes, Tep, it depends what the problem is. I had a dream the other night that I sent an embarrassing e-mail and was very relieved that I didn't really do it(Except for having dreams about e-mail, which seems like a failure of imagination, somehow.It felt really real, though.)

You keep them. I'm after the Beetlejuice ones. Thank you for looking!

I'll keep an eye out if I hit a different target.

Brains and major life changes are very confusing. I'm going through my day here at work, it's moderately quiet and nothing's happening that I can't cope with. A good day. I think "I feel good. Wait. Am I allowed to feel good? You're barely two months off a catastrophic life upheaval. Is it too soon?" So frustrating.

I feel good. Wait. Am I allowed to feel good?

You are. I think a lot of damage is done to people by telling them they're "supposed" to feel a certain way at a certain time. How you feel is how you feel. You may feel a different way tomorrow or even 30 minutes from now, and that's allowed, too.

A/C guy is here fixing the leak, and doing general maintenance, which hasn't been done in years. Far more than the two that I've lived here. On the plus side, he says the unit is a workhorse and looks to be in good shape. On the downside, he says I'm living on borrowed time, that these things last about 20 years, and it's from 1982. So when it goes, it won't be worth repairing, it'd be best to replace. Thankfully, not at that point just yet. Well, there is the downside of home ownership.

Oh, and for the first time, the repair guy isn't some stinky old guy. Dude is young, blond, and looks like he could be an extra in True Blood.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Well, there is the downside of home ownership.

Yeah, but any unit you get now (or in the near-ish future) is going to be WAY more energy efficient, which will make a difference in your electric bills. Plus -- although I'm not sure if this is still the case -- some energy-efficient appliances are eligible for a tax rebate and/or a rebate from your electric company.

Yeah, I'm looking at furnace tune-ups for winter. The furnace is in a crawlspace under the house, which I've never been in, and I don't want to. Which is why there are professionals in the world.

Word! That's what I thought when I had the flooring installed. Sure, it's an easy design. Snap together, and bam bam bam, ya got a row. Then I thought about all the wall edges, the cutting, the corners, the strange angles around cabinets and closets, and getting under doorsills, and said fuck it.
