Zen, also, there are some small places in DC - the only ones that come to mind are the Windsor Inn (on 16th Street, NW) and an Adams Morgan bed and breakfast type place on Lanier Street, NW.

Ugh Steph. I've been battling clothing moths for a couple of years. They're not a swarm, but I think they're gone and I'll find some in the spare room closet or the basement. Bastards.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Tim vacuumed like crazy last night, although we need to check the closet this weekend. (I don't think I have anything wool in the closet, because wool makes me itch. However, apparently they like dark places, so I'm braced to find them in the closet.)
This, combined with reading the Marie Kondo book, is making me want to get rid of 3/4 of our shit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
FTR, cloud-obscured totality still pretty fucking cool.
Excellent!

Thanks. If I were handling this myself, I'd be putting people in small hotels like this.

I keep saying I'm going to get rid of 3/4 of my shit, but I keep not doing it. I got as far as taking photos of shoes for eBay last weekend, but I didn't list them yet.

I had carpet beetles at one point - they ate holes in all my good wool suits that I'd tucked away in the hope that I'd lose enough weight to wear them again. sigh ...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Thanks for the ~ma, all! I think it went well, although there's another round to go assuming they thought the same. Releasing ~ma to the general circulation pool until I need to call on it again.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Raining here. Boo yah! It is my weekend to work/be on call. Looks like all the work will be cancelled. Hellyes! The guys are all mad at me, it has rained out my weekends almost 90% of the time in the last 9 - 10 months. We need the work as we are behind the planned goals for the year already, BUT I DO NOT CARE! I have a mani scheduled and can now sleep in.

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
amych, glad that it went well. Fingers are still crossed for you.
So I just finished signing the deed in lieu paperwork for the bank. The notary came to my house and we sat down at the dining room table and took care of business. BoA will have it back on Monday, and the last thing to do is schedule the walk-through to make sure the house is in broom-swept condition and I didn't take appliances or fixtures or otherwise damage it. I'm still not sure what day I will no longer have financial responsibility for the house in Frederick, but it's soon. I can't believe I made it here.

Thanks, all for your support. I love you all so much!
Will hopefully have more news: re house sale and lawyering at end of day -- and I am REALLY sorry if I am boring/annoying people with this, but I CAN'T talk about it on FB and though I talk with friends, someone is here almost 24/7 and sometimes, I gotta vent.
Seriously, I have three pillars holding up my non-spiral into a flipping depresso/anxiety plummet through this whole house thing: yoga, meds and people. I think because of the yoga and you, and my fam, SH and meatspace friends, I am ABLE to take my meds responsibly and actually am FLOURISHING now, even though it's a real financial and stress mess.
HAIL BUFFISTAS!
