Answer my questions, people!!! Arrrggg. I'm actually kinda out of work until I get some answers and then I'll be buried. I'm trying to figure what I can do to prep without creating double work for myself without much luck.
So I'm doing some of my volunteer stuff instead, including my post about the horse we won for our program. It is pretty cool, but we weren't aware of the costs needed to bring him home. That had been unclear in the fine print and was just clarified. The Program Director and Volunteer Coordinator are headed to Tennessee this weekend to meet the horse and go through the formalities of transferring ownership.
In lighter news, dog train!
Also, a dreaming wombat (something from Australia that (probably) won't try to kill you.
The airline found my kindle! Yay!!
And a friend posted a townhouse for sale a block away from her...for $72k. It's in Baltimore. A $275/month mortgage is nearly reason enough to move there. Damn. at that rate it's almost cheaper than like, two vacations in hotels a year! Yikes.
Wasn't there just an article about how it makes financial sense to buy a house in Cleveland or somewhere and spend literally every weekend in Brooklyn, vs. living in NYC?
meara, that's an awesome price for a townhouse!
I am in work Hades. I need minions.
My cats are pretty good watchdogs. Their reactions tell me exactly what manner of creature is outside. They have 3 categories: feral cat, another animal/human passing by, or human approaching the house. If someone actually broke in, they'd probably hide, which is fine with me; they'd be safe. And at night, the alarm would be on. I don't know if any of them would attack someone to protect me; I rather doubt it, but I don't hold it against them. I'm supposed to take care of them, after all.
Woo meara's kindle!
Dang, $72k and near a friend, that's pretty good.
Wow, Jesse, that's unreal.
Real estate is crazy. That's mind-blowing, Jesse.

Not necessarily! Wombats have been known to kill people who enter their burrows. (Their defence against home invasion is to crush the invader against the roof of their burrow, push-up style. Useful against dingoes.) More commonly, they're one of the worst native animals to hit while driving.
