I am much happier now that I turned the email checking feature off of my phone. Before I was getting beeps every few minutes and it was really annoying. But I don't do well with no internet. My BFF and I spent a day trying to remember things instead of looking them up online. It took us all day to come up with the name Donald O'Conner for the other guy SInging in the Rain. It was fun, but I enjoy finding things on the internet.
I also have cramps FROM THE DEVIL. I have taken far more than the recommended amount of ibuprofen and I still feel like my uterus is being attacked by a grapefruit fork. And also like there is something inside me that wants to come out. I have to be at work today, too, because there is so much to do, but I can barely sit still. These are the days I like to spend in bed, mildly tipsy, pretending I am a Victorian woman with laudanum. Maybe if I had some laudanum if would feel better
I am confident you would feel better with some laudanum. Sorry about the cramps.
On the train to Holyhead, eventually ending up in Dublin. Bought wi-fi access, because I'm a sad Internet junkie.
There's free wifi on the ferry! But you probably know that by now.
That Jesse Williams pic on eyecandyandfeministrage may be all that gets me through the day.

Or when your hip joints feel like they're being pried apart by the Jaws of Life.
People! We need to decide if we want to make an offer on this house today. [link] I am calling mr. flea at 12:00. It's a FSBO, owned by the same guy for 40 years, well-maintained (and lovely) but lacking central air (and it has radiators, so harder to add central air) and much of the wiring appears to be knob and tube (but not currently problematic, according to the owner). Great location; yard on the small side. Currently the two apartments are rented for a total of $2650; one is on a month to month and the other is divorcing and plans to move out within a few months. An easy place to rent, given location and charm. We'd probably live on the 2nd floor apartment.
I do not know whether I want to offer or not. If we lived there and rented the other apartment, we'd only need to contribute $600 a month to cover mortgage+tax+insurance...
Do you want to be landlords?
Did you ask him when the wood siding was replaced?
I don't know? I mean, I have never thought to myself, "My ultimate goal in life is to be a landlord," but it could be nice to have some grad students downstairs or a young family and develop a relationship with them. And down the road I could see elderly parents moving in (mr. flea's folks turn 75 this year and are in great health, but...)
That is a great location. The living room windows are gorgeous. Do you want to be landlords and share the house?
t edit
Ignore that last question, since other people type faster than I do.
Lack of central air would be a deal breaker for me, but I am a delicate flower.
