Oh flea, what a bummer!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just ordered a bunch of Warby Parker frames for no reason. No reason except maybe I could be the kind of person who has a glasses wardrobe?? Also I like getting fun things in the mail.

It's extra hard because I was more willing to compromise than mr. flea. He thinks if we let the seller sit a month, they will realize that they were being unreasonable, and come around. But I think as we move into spring, they have a decent chance of finding a buyer willing to pay more.
Anyway, Casper is happy, because she didn't like the house, so somebody wins? I on the other hand recently ran out of bourbon and need to restock.

I've started wearing a pair of $12 Duane Read magnifying glasses when I read in bed, because of low light and holding the book close to my face. Everyone thinks me in glasses is silly/adorable (I have never worn them.)

Angel's Envy. My new favorite. Best price is at the DEP in Covington.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Can I recommend the Elijah Craig 12-year? For an affordable bourbon (IIRC, around $25 per bottle), it's very tasty. It will be a repurchase when I'm done with it.

Yeah, Angel's Envy is more than Elijah Craig, for sure.

There's room for more than one bottle of bourbon on the bar. I'm poly when it comes to my booze.

I'm sorry about the house, flea. Home-buying is a soul-sucking process.
Buy a box of kids' Valentines (obviously superhero-themed; I'm sure I didn't need to say that) and hide each one around the house.
I will warn you that the Guardians of the Galaxy Valentines at Target are very disappointing, although they do come with GotG pencils.
I'm putting aside money for moving and trying to add extra for painting or other minor pre-move in costs.
I don't wish to discourage you, but the costs of moving in are always more than you'd imagine. For example, you might find that the sellers, who had seemed more or less reasonable, had taken the window treatments they promised to leave, some light fixtures and most of the light bulbs.
