Our wings are not tired.

Yes, here you have to spend at least twice that for rent. And it certainly wouldn't have an attic!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My salary is also commensurate with our cost of living here, but I have been at $525 with no increase for about 10 years. I started at $495. If I wanted to buy a tiny house on a highly trafficked street,my mortgage would be less than that. We are an outlier.

I grew up with real Christmas trees, but now I have an artificial one and some Frazier fir-scented candles. Less bother and expense.

One of the great benefits of having a cleanish house is taking pictures of my kitty. I am enjoying that today as she totally destroys any attempt I make at straightening boxes or bags.

I was sort of thinking I only have Aidan for this year, because he is planning to go off to college. So Ihave one year to have a real tree and get it hauled up and taken out.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia, do you think the kitten would leave the tree alone?

Hmm. Probably not. She jumps on anything! And knocks everything off of anything, because kitten. I still have a pink fake tree in the attic that I could set up with plastic Hello Kitty ornaments. Maybe when Katie comes over to deal with the attic, we can talk about what makes sense.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Aw, Dana.

My master bath has a large shower with a two-inch threshold and two grab bars, wide enough for a shower seat. The previous resident was my landlady's mom, so everything's geared toward someone with mobility limitations, aka "Why I have motorized blinds".

Argh, I've been madly emailing people to coordinate Thanksgiving at the ski club, and now the NWS is saying "heavy snow from Tuesday to Thursday, don't drive in the Western Sierra", and I'm all ARGH.

I guess if we stay home, it's fine, I ordered a turkey and could invite some friends over? Do I have friends enough for that, at the last minute? Sigh.
