Aims, that house is adorable. Enjoy.
Yay for testing negative in a positive way, dcp!
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Thrive to spite them
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Yay, new imperial palace!

Our wings are not tired.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Thanks, everyone!!
The house is amazing and I can’t wait.
I was telling David yesterday that I was excited to post about it because years and years ago I was lamenting that I would never be able to buy a house and DXM promised that one day ...
And now I’m on that road and I can’t even tell him thank you.
But! I will decorate and maintain and be happy that my friend watched me do something he told me I’d be able to do.

In the meantime, I need to get dressed and ready to teach this morning and I am just not feeling it today. I’ll dig deep and use all my internal cheerleader tricks, but damn I’m just tired.
One of my kiddos is being particularly needy and he’s had so much trauma and death in his life and he really trusts me to take care of him but ... it’s a lot.
