Meara, maybe you should start a running group for non-morning people. Surely you're not the only person noping at an 8 am run time.
Sorry about the food poisoning, aurelia.

My mom used to feed me flat coke for nausea
I used to see cola syrup in the pharmacies for nausea.

I've done dishes, done laundry, gone to the grocery store, gone to the auto parts store, changed the oil in the car, recycled the used oil, fixed the lock on the back door, been criticized a lot, and armored the house. It's been a busy day and I'm feeling tired and depressed.

I wish you got the "Well done, that's a lot of work!" kudos you deserve, Gud.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We just finished four days of looking at real estate around Ann Arbor/Detroit area, to see where we might like to move. people gave us all SORTS of suggestions, and we met with different real estate guys in Grosse Pointe, Plymouth, Chelsea and environs, but we finally ended up settling on Ypsilanti/Pittsfield. Lots of cute bungalows in very nice near at a price we can afford. Aimee lives there, by the way!!!
All the RE Agents told us that lots of houses come on the market as soon as it gets warmer, so we are planning to come back in a more serious way in 6 to 8 weeks. I am 100% ready to put our house on the market, but J is still mulling it over. His parents moved the family every year or two the whole time he was growing up, and he HATES the whole process. It' very hard for him to make this change and I am trying not to push him.
Keep your fingers crossed that we make our decision soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, good luck, Scrappy!!
Feel better, aurelia.
Um, Gud, in what way did you armor the house? Just checking.

Yes, what is armoring the house??

I bought macarons today at the local bakery. I'm blaming all of you. $1 a piece fwiw.

$1 macarons would be my downfall.
