All this ice cream talk forced me to stop on the way home and buy Americone Dream.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I believe that is the recommended treatment for Ice Cream Deficiency.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Does gelato count? Cause all I have is sea salt caramel gelato.

My guess is that the stuff that's coming off is a skim coat and the person who did it either used the wrong stuff or didn't properly prep the wall.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Or it's just been 100 years? I'm sure it's been at least 60. So if I pull off what comes easily, and do a new skim coat, I should be OK, right? And that seems sufficiently diy-ish?

Worst that can happen is that it comes off again. Mine is water damage, bubbling, not just cracks, so I think I'll have to learn to plaster properly.

Right? That's my gut feeling. Especially since we have a guy who could fix it now if I really fuck it up. Metal mesh business and joint compound seem doable.

That's one thing about living in a house this old (and one owned by a crappy slumlord for a couple decades before): it's survived worse than my attempts at repairs, and even neglected, it survived. At least I care and am trying.
