dcp - wow, that was fast, and, more importantly, yay for the negative result.

Aims, I love the yard and the sun room especially. (Why, yes, I find our apartment dark and without a yard. Why do you ask?)

I'll have to check out Zingerman's. I'm finding myself paralyzed with respect to ordering gifts right now, which is not helpful. I don't have a ton to do, but... you know, some forward momentum on that would be nice. I did buy Christmas cards today, because they were right in front of my face and 50% off.

Yay for negativity, dcp!

And, wow, Aims, that place is wonderful. The window seat! The tree with a bench all the way around it! So many good spots to curl up and read.

Aims, that house is adorable. Enjoy.

Yay for testing negative in a positive way, dcp!

Wow dcp that is fast--I thought our ~22 hour turnaround was quick!

Aims that house is so cute! love the sunroom/porch and the tree and the window seat.

Windy, I understand where you are coming from with a lack of alone time. M and his mom are here all the time and they can be so loud. and when M gets excited or happy or is playing Xbox HE GETS REALLY LOUD. AND THEN EVEN LOUDER and I spend a lot of time with headphones on listening to stuff in the other room or with the window a/c unit on full blast. Occasionally I have kicked them out.. well encouraged them to go to the store or take a drive or something just so I can have time alone.

The link to Aimee’s shiny new house won’t work for me.

Yay for fast negatives, dcp!

And Aims, the house and yard are gorgeous.

Yay, new imperial palace!

Woot! I love those negative results.

Went to an actual restaurant last night. There were only a handful of people, very far away, and it was outside. Bottom line, I think I like staying home. I used to like going out so very much, but now I think how I could cook that, and my chairs are more comfy, and I could be braless. It just isn't relaxing anymore. Maybe after pandemic I will be able to relax more and consider it a treat.

Empress, the house is darling.
