Sigh, just as I had a clear sidewalk, we're being socked under with snow again. I did an early shovel around 8, and I don't feel like going back out there. Oz and I have been on the couch all morning. (He, of course, scammed the prime spot while I was making breakfast.)

Looking for the like button on Strix's post.

Hey! My neighbour has snowblowed the sidewalk and my walk. Yay.

Nice!

Strix, that's awesome!

If you know where I work, you may have seen us in the news this week.... ugh. These are the times that checking email on the weekend pays off, though -- my grandboss asked for some information by 9:30 tomorrow, and I got back to him in a couple of hours.

I DID see your company in the news, Jesse. How stressful. Go you with getting stuff done?

At some point today I need to do an hour or two of work, but I really don't wanna. OTOH, I know me, and I will probably tell myself late tonight that I will just get up and do it in the morning (I have a 9AM meeting that the work needs to be done prior to). And I know I won't, actually. Or will only do a small part of it. Sigh.

Yesterday I ran a 5K in the morning and then went to the outlet mall with a friend, and apparently that was TOO MUCH, because I then went to sleep around 10PM and didn't wake up until 10AM this morning. Dang. But it is cold and rainy here, which is excellent, because then I feel less impetus to go enjoy the unusually sunny weather (which we've been having recently, and has made slothfulness on weekends feel even more wasteful than usual!) May try to convince coworker to come over and set up her Wii.

Well frack. I hate bidding wars. Looks like the highest offer on the house I want is $20k more than my highest offer. I can't meet or exceed that.

We are going to look at a few more places today. I don't have high hopes, just need to see them before I can officially knock them off my list of maybes.

Seems like houses like the one I offered on are all going to be bidding wars. In the time I've been looking (including the unofficial looking) I haven't seen similar properties come up. So disappointed.

Just remember that you can wait. We'd been actively looking for more than a year for the house we're buying (including making one offer and getting outbid, and going under contract and backing out after inspection.)

In other housing news, the seller of our house reported bed bugs were discovered when she was moving out. Apparently not too bad, as she had not noticed and it was found when they were dis-assembling a bed. They have had Terminix in, and I think they are supposed to come back (we haven't had details on treatment yet). The house will be empty (except for tools and stuff) for a month before we move in. How much should I be worried?

Yay, meara! Of course you needed a ton of rest after all your exertion.

Last night was kind of surreal. I was introduced, at a restaurant, to Cary Elwes, who stood up like a gentleman and shook my hand,

I want to lick your hand.

Flea, you should be find on the bed bugs by the time u you move ib.

We don't have a year go look. I have.About a month. Our lease here is up June 15th.
