Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Well done!

Gah, I am having trouble winding down and going to sleep because I am all keyed up from finding an app that will link my pantry inventory with my recipes and meal plan and shopping list. WTH, self?

Renter's resume sounds onerous. Who thought that was a good idea?! Just meet the dang applicants in person.

It's a little difficult when 40+ people show up for an open house, I suspect...

shrift, it's worth looking into particular landlords. My niece got her apartment by finding a particular landlord/property manager that had a bunch of buildings, and just doing their application process: they didn't advertise publicly because they didn't want to get overwhelmed in the Craigslist madness. The down side is fewer apartments; the up side is way less competition inside a walled garden.

Renters. Resume. Good grief. That is a terrifying notion.

So this morning, I almost killed myself choking on a breakfast taco. Early morning keeps getting earlier.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh dear.

Different "oh dear" for renters' resumes. Oh, another thing to have on hand is references -- current/past landlords' phone numbers.

I feel be ougoing to all the tacos of the world and demanding that they take an oath not to harm Dana would be reasonable.

I wanted to go on Deal or No Deal just so I could ask Howie WTF was with the ending of St. Elsewhere.

Apparently I kept thinking about this, because while I was brushing my teeth I decided that the ending of St. Elsewhere was like Puck's speech at the end of Midsummer Night's Dream.

Despite all the complaining, I've been doing not too bad with the early mornings, but today was the day where the alarm went off and I cursed.

I've had lots of caffeine. Yet it is not enough.

Punishingly Intricate

Got one cat to the vet successfully this morning. The other one has gone to ground in the basement. I hope she emerges again someday. And I'll have to figure out how to trick her into going to the vet. My old boys were so compliant (and kinda dumb). Getting them to the vet was never a problem! Different cats are different, I guess.
