My retirement plan is to eventually buy a condo in the building I got booted out of in '07, if I can get one of the units with the round tower (preferably the one on the top floor) and my knees & ankles hold out for the stair climbing. There's been a great sense of satisfaction over the years in watching the place remain half-empty and sale prices go down because people looking to buy don't regard a rehab center, an expressway, and slum tenements as ideal neighbors.

Buffista English village? Village for sale with manor house!
I would love that! I've always been fascinated by the relationship between village and manor house and how those communities developed. And some nice rolling farm land, too.

This is a concern of mine. We're between storm systems today, and my joints are shrieking at me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My office is so overcrowded, I went to get a soda and came back to three people not in my department having a closed-door meeting in my office....

Although, with the way the climate's going, the Buffista Island should perhaps be in Denver ....

The status is NOT quo.
staying up too late reading is one of my unhealthy coping mechanisms. Along with impulse purchases, like how I signed up for Birchbox.

Consuela, glad to hear about your dad's improvement!

Yes, yes. Not that I want the climate to go that crazy, but I want Buffistas here!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tuesday is my Comedy Class, which I love, but i don't get home until 11. And I get up at seven. Also, last night, for the first (and I hope last) time, my DH punched me in his sleep. Luckily, he only punched me in the hip, but, what a way to wake up. Poor guy, he felt terrible. I am exhausted today.
We love our house. I like changing/improving things and putting time and mo money into something you own is fun.

Thursday is a 4:30am alarm day
Yipes! I'm not sure there's enough coffee to make up for that
If we are taking over an English village, I'm in! Frances wants to move to London anyway, so I just have to convince the other two family members to join us.

Uhh... okay that's funny but probably kind of annoying.
There are shenanigans going on at work on a few different levels that I am privy to. Looks like next year is going to be interesting.
