A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Yeah, it's a PITA. I'm just trying to stay positive. There's no use worrying until we know more next week, and then we'll just take it from there. Thanks be that his folks are awesome and are going to help us, be it buying this house, or letting the bank have it and buying a different house. It could be so much worse, and I'm truly grateful for them.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Argh, Strix, that's awful.

But yay that you have family who are willing to help out.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm sorry Strix, that sounds like a really messy situation.

My neighbors are going through what has suddenly become a REALLY nasty divorce, and I'm trying very hard to stay completely out of it. (And more importantly, to keep D completely out of it - their son is one of his closest friends and I do NOT want their friendship to be affected by a stupid custody battle.) Neither of them has overtly asked me to take sides yet, but they keep blind-copying me (and DH) on emails that neither of us wants to see, and it's becoming incredibly uncomfortable.

Anyway, tomorrow is D's friend's birthday party, and I just hope we can get through it without the kids being exposed to any drama.

Oh, man, Jess, good luck with that.

3 lessons down one to go. This is totally doable, woohoo!

They're BCCing you on private emails pertaining to their divorce? WTF; that is so 9th grade. How inappropriate!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Strength to you Jess. That sounds like a disaster in the making.

Strix, so glad you have family support.

Why is packing so taxing? I've been trying to bite off small bits each day but I only have two weeks before we move and Doing this alone is just...slow.

SO inappropriate!! The reason I can't take sides is because they are BOTH acting like children.

It's pretty impressively bad behavior. I almost feel like them both doing it makes it better - not for you, obviously, but as a value judgment on them. If it was one of them, I would judge that one more harshly than I do the both of them combined. Which doesn't make sense, but I don't have to make sense when I'm morally judging people I don't know, now do I?

Caught up on my class, hooray! I might actually be able to manage a lesson in my lunch break on the days when they are released, that would be pretty painless. Not like I ever go out to lunch, anyway.

And I found clean clothes at the bottom of what I thought was a basket full of towels, which tempts me to downgrade the need to do laundry. I'll still do some, but it can wait until tomorrow and may only be a load or two.

Having an infomercial on with the sound turned off while I study is kind of making me want to buy a T-fal Opti-grill. I cannot emphasize enough my incredible lack of need for one. I have an indoor grill and a Weber on the patio and I just don't grill very often. And yet. It knows how thick my steak is, that's just neat.

Wow Kat--how long had your leg been hurting??

Six days. So....

Laundry, schmaundry, -t. But I may be an enabler.

Yikes again on the leg! Pain is not really a great problem reporting system, is it? So hard to interpret and so many false positives.

I may subscribe to your laundry, schmaundry philosophy tomorrow, we'll see how it goes. I'm feeling oppressed by the amount of recorded TV on my DVR right now...
