I am a fan of tomorrow’s list. And impressed by today’s to-done list!

Also Gary’s top notch Valentining.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sheryl's pedicure plan has inspired me to get a pedicure in the next few days because Easter is this weekend and it's going to be 70-something and I don't want to subject the family to my winter-scary feet in sandals.

I don't want to subject the family to my winter-scary feet in sandals.

It's time to shed the feral ways of winter.

information libertarian

I’m contacting a realtor today because while I’d hoped we’d have another year it’s clear we need to be out of my mother’s house as of June 1. Wish me luck because we are not fully financially prepared (house in Ohio is rented so we can’t sell it) and the housing market here is a disaster. (We’d rent, but there are literally 0 rental listings in this town that are not Airbnb. A 780 square foot house on a tiny lot on the edge of a marsh just went under contract in 4 days as a tear down for $870k. That kind of real estate market.)

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Real estate~ma, flea.

Such busy folks! I hope all the medical stuff works out as well as possible.

I just found out that my CPA died. She was probably around 80, but didn’t look it. A lovely lady who I first met during my first “real” job back in the 90s. We were only professional acquaintances, but after 30+ years it’s still sad making. And I’m sure her family is missing her. My doctor of ~30 years retired (gotta get a new one) and I believe my dentist did, too. Whatever else is keeping me in NC, a long-term network of professionals is not it.

Real estate ~ma, flea. Easier said than done in so many places. Ugh.

Thrive to spite them

Real estate ~ma for flea.

I approve of David's tomorrow to do list as well.

Today I see the new neurologist at 2:45 so if anyone can spare some "helpful medical professional who can help me and not make me feel frustrated" ~ma I would appreciate it.

I've been going over my timeline list and list of issues I want to discuss/point out. Its a long list but it's things I didn't get to talk about with the previous neurologist because she'd talk over me or just immediately say I'd need more tests as soon as I finished talking, sometimes before I finished.

Will probably go up to Mom's this weekend. Need to call her and Dad today or tomorrow. I need to also see about scheduling another Crafting Day with Crafty friend... I don't know if I can do it before we go to Florida since that is in 10 days!!!! YAY the beach!

Crap I have to finish the gift I'm making for my aunt.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In crafty mememe news, I tried using the Mod Podge image transfer solution to put an image on a t-shirt (an old one). Either I did something really wrong, the print-out was too old, or the stuff wasn't working right. The image doesn't seem to have transferred and the paper backing is still sticking to the shirt. I'll give it another try, but I'm very glad I used an old shirt with tears in it.

I hope the new neuro is helpful, askye.

Hi Todd! The only transfer stuff I have done is numbers on basketball jerseys, and I have done too much of that!

Still don't know if DH is coaching at this school, or that school, or not at all. He is the worst at making decisions. I make them quickly and easily, and he goes back and forth and suffers over them forever.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Good luck with the new neuro, askye!

Housing~ma, flea. That sounds pretty fraught.

I finally got some matza yesterday, after getting my glasses fixed (I think I forgot to report that I dropped my glasses while getting dressed yesterday morning and didn't realize until after I had stepped on them and broken an arm off - getting them fixed was surprisingly painless and speedy, though!). I don't know whether I just managed to miss the usual Passover displays (either because I did not walk through the right part of the store or because everything was already sold out) or there weren't any, but it was a challenge
