I am so behind! I think things in my head while I am reading, but forget to post, because it is a bit of a pain on my phone. I sort of miss the days of the early 2000s when I had the kind of job where I could read and post most of the day at work!
I am sorry that Daniel is still in the hospital, but I think better be safe. As a fellow diabetic, infection is a big fear.
sj, I hope your mom feels better soon. Diverticulitis is very painful, if my freind Maria's mother is anything to go by.
msbelle, I hope Miley continues to feel better as well.
I have had very weird dreams this weekend, with people I haven't seen in years. In one, I was working an event with my friend Andy (he moved away in the 9th grade and I saw him once more in senior year). It was being run by his mother, but his mom never showed up- and all these other people who were much more organized than we were took over, and it was annoying and not fun anymore. He used to be on Facebook, but I can't find him anymore. We were best friends from the moment we met is 5th grade until he moved away, and I think maybe Stranger Things brought him to my mind, because I was basically the age of those kids and there was literally a group of four geeky boys, and my friend Judy and I (although I don't really identify with either Max or El). He was so much fun, and in retrospect, the fact that my two favorite friends moved away in 9th grade is probably what led to the crippling depression I experienced then- when I basically just gave up all my friendships with people in my grade. So now I am thinking of him.
The canoe is gone! The mystery canoe. Mine is still there.
Glad your mom is home sj. Hope she’s feeling much better and the meds help.
Glad things resolved somewhat less scary than it seemed at first, sj. ~~ma~~ for your mom.
For the first time in my housing search I've toured a home that seems to fit most if not all of my criteria, and didn't have any red flags jump out at me: [link]
It's not love at first sight, but it's cute enough, seems well-maintained, is in a decent neighborhood, and I can see myself being happily ensconced there for a few years if not forever. Now to talk to the bank and see if I can make an offer that works for both me and the sellers.
I just spoke to her. It was a diverticulitis attack.
They can be very painful. I hope the meds work well for her.

I used to have these all the time. Party or social gatherings with people known and unknown from distant past and present, or just known from media. A woo woo friend said it was all of our subconscious selves coming together to socialize. That was a nice thought.
Xpost with you, Matt. I agree that it seems in good condition and is both comfortable right away and has plenty of potential for making it yours.
I like it. Is there a place to add a washer/dryer?
I find carports so charming for some reason. Maybe just because they’re uncommon around here. But it seems so convenient.
Its been really warm here. Although M's mom doesn't seem to believe that.
I have had a set back with dizziness and brain fog. I keep thinking it will get better but it hasn't. I'm going to try some things to see if I can make it better.
Tuesday is not only election day but also M's birthday. We are going to vote and then to the sushi place for lunch.
tomorrow I need to go to the dmv after work and also call the dentist. I missed my last cleaning so I really need to get that done but my front tooth has been hurting recently and I'm trying not to freak out about what it could be. I swear I've been taking better care of my teeth but ...maybe I've been fooling myself. I also found a mental health practice that says it has shrinks and psych nurse practioners accepting patients so I need to call them.
I haven't heard anything positive about my worker's comp case. Since late September /Early Oct they were supposed to be figuring out about back payments from partial compensation but the lawyers haven't heard anything . I checked in last week and I also sent them my paychecks. I'm wondering if there is more that could be done by the lawyer (but maybe not) or some kind of pressure that can be put on the worker's comp company because how long does it take for them to do some calculations and cut me a check for back payment and start regular payments?
I like it. Is there a place to add a washer/dryer?
Yes. It's not shown in the interior photos, but that tiny window at the back of the front carport opens into a little laundry alcove off the kitchen. There's room for a stacked washer/dryer unit there, which is probably what I'd get since I'm used to it.
I'm not sure what I'd do with the back carport since I only have one vehicle, but I guess I could buy some outdoor seating or a picnic table for it. Likewise with the shop out back, I don't have any real use for it besides storage at this point, but since it's sturdy and in good repair it's at least potentially a plus. (Unlike the decrepit garage/shop at the last place I looked at, which was just ONE of the dealbreakers that home had.)

This is like some weird attempt at a Trifecta of Onerous Tasks. Maybe throw in an IRS audit to complete it?

Oof, I had a conversation recently about the tragedy of Moving Away and how it's treated as inconsequential when, in reality, it's a brutal severing not unlike a death.
