The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I made the unfortunate discovery that this place [link] is the perfect lunchtime walk distance from the office.

I foresee many more burritos in my future.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

I remember reading science fiction stories all about how awful it will be when we don't have work to do (because, iirc, robots) and everyone will be so bored with leisure, whatever will we do to solve that problem...

I'll risk it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I made the unfortunate discovery

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

My stomach would agree with you

I get to leave home an hour later

An hour of your time is worth more than $10.

Loved the house. It has off-street parking, 2 spaces off the alley behind (it has an alley!) Waiting on price analysis from our realtor, and mr. flea to gather his nerve, to write up an offer.

Yay, flea! Best of luck.

$10 to leave an hour later does seem like a good deal, Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Fingers crossed, flea! It looked great.

I just resent the fact that the garage costs that much. When I started, it was $5! Admittedly, that was 1998.

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

I just found out that I will have a pension! The law firm I worked at in the '90s, apparently, has a pension plan. I had no idea. I get $129.00 per month once I retire. Not a lot of money, but WAY more than NO money.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Woo, flea! Good luck!

I want to know why a pair of shoes that was perfectly comfy last summer/fall is suddenly feeling two sizes too small. Wtf, feet? You haven't changed sizes! Why don't you fit? Ow.

My feet generally do have to adjust seasonally. (I'm not sure why or how.)

WHY DISHES EVERY DAY? WHY??
