Steph, I'm so sorry for your loss. Love to you and Tim and Tim's family

I’m so sorry Steph. And sj too. Everyone’s families please stay safe.

My condolences, Steph. Love to Tim.

We just saw two places and one of them is everything we want: right neighborhood, right price.

It has a long term tenant on the first floor whose rent would also help with the mortgage.

So we're talking to our financial advisor and mortgage broker at 3pm and see about it.

This is the listing: [link]

Pictures don't quite do it justice. The room with the piano is so warm and inviting and the downstairs garden unit is also lovely. Plus it has an attic bedroom that's super cozy like a Tahoe cabin.

Plenty of room for Buffistas to come visit! And a Drew-approved hammock in the back yard.

Probably won't get it because it's too perfect for us.

Steph, I'm so sorry. Much love & strength to you & Tim.

Condolences Steph, thats rough.

Good luck, Hec.

I love the turret, Hec!

I love the turret, Hec!

Right?

Good luck, Hec.

Thank you! I'm envisioning a steady stream of Buffistae visitors in the Garden apartment.

looks for link to make our reservation for Garden apartment visit

I do hope Tim and his brothers are managing after the funeral home visit. That is a rough meeting.

Hec that is a lovely house. I hope y'all get it. I love the color of the kitchen and the attic bedroom is like a secret hideaway.

Good news mom got an appointment for tomorrow with the her dr about her anti depressants and to get help finding a therapist.

Then we were talking more about the whole paternity thing and it turns out that the lawyer who has been helping them with other legal stuff said the other child's mother needs to initiate/handle any paternity testing that she wants but Mom just took it on herself to try and deal with all of it. I told Mom then the mom needs to do that and if she doesn't want to or doesn't put it as a priority then it's obviously not a priority and Mom shouldn't take that on.

Then we got home, and I know M's back is killing him. He woke up a couple of times last night in severe pain but he won't take a muscle relaxer right now. I don't think he's taken anything for the pain and so he's having a really bad day and there are a ton of little things going on since we got home that are making it worse. Like his mom deep cleaned the living room and unplugged the router/modem and then came in saying the internet wasn't working. She does this whenever we are stay out of town somewhere but then can't ever remember unplugging anything.

On the other hand I have been doing some collage/art journaling and ordered some stuff from Wish. It was cheap and I was thinking about how much I would spend on a soda or whatever at work and decided that as long as I was staying under what I spent a week I should get some things that would make me happy . So I got some of the first stuff I ordered and .. some of it isn' t what I initially thought I was getting (because I didn't pay attention) but I can work with it. And Mom and I checked out some thrift /used furniture stores this morning and I got a computer desk for myself for like $30 to replace the one I have now (that i paid like $15 for) but I want more desk space.
