One of my favorite mid-century quirky houses in this area is for sale. Looks like the place needs work, but omg, that price is $40K less than what things are going for. That could do a lot of work.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That is adorable, msbelle!
Also, were there really no Natter posts for nine hours? Eek!

That's crazy. Our night shift must have been busy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord -- my officemate just gave notice, and apparently the other Jesse H got canned! I never even met him! The email says "by mutual agreement," but his last day was yesterday, so....

Hah. I have an old friend who abruptly left the Navy under what he described as a "mutual agreement" which still makes me laugh and laugh.
Funny: with baseball set to come back, they are having a permafrost problem at Comiskey.
Less funny: my house closing is being delayed because the seller won't dewinterize yet.
Now I'm ready for winter to end.

I was busy sleeping. I have to decide if we want to go see a house sometime today. ( [link] ) The realtor is busy 11:30-1:30, I don't get home with the kids until 6pm, and soccer practice is at 7pm. And I am hosting a presentation by a tax lawyer in half an hour, and Casper is on a field trip to Columbus today AND has homework and soccer, and... I guess if we want to see it, we do it at 6pm and get takeout for dinner.

That house looks cute, flea. And it costs about the same as the renovations I'd like to make to my current house.
I have three terrible meetings today. At least I have no meetings tomorrow?

Day 3 of sinus headache. I feel like I look like the Elephant man. Medicine is not making a dent. I should have neti-potted this morning, but I chose sleep instead. Now at work and I HATE everything.

I love looking at all these houses.
Ooh, my boss just floated the idea of my going to Africa next month. That would be exciting!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yes it would!
That house is great. I love that vintage architecture, apparently - every house I see from around then I adore.
Sorry for the headache, msbelle. The bits of everything that don't deserve hatred can take the hit, I think.
I have my phone set to vibrate at sunrise and sunset because I feed the cats at sunset (to get them inside for the night) and it's easiest to have it set for both. So it vibrates to tell me it's sunrise when I'm already at my desk. It's a bit disheartening.
