there have been fires...all are gone

Well...fooey.

The house is no-go.

Too many structural issues (that came out of the inspection) compounded with some serious-rethinking on the neighborhood and well, I guess that's why it's good that you get that 2-week no-fault period. So we are only out about $350 ....and very sad and dejected.

We thought long and hard about it and finally decided no and I swear it felt like both a relief and that there'd been a death in the family.

As such, we've been so down this weekend - alternately trying to feign optimism as we realize that we need to up our spending "cap" again if we want to even entertain thoughts of living in Neighborhood Choice No. 1 (how depressing is it that the prices there have gone up between $50K-70K since last May? It's very depressing) and trying to just ignore all the requirements of being an adult.

On that front we've tried gallantly by doing the following:


  • Eating every meal out

  • Going down to the river and napping in the sunshine

  • Late night pancake dinners

  • A trip to the movies (sneak preview of F*ver Pitch - heartily recommended if you're feeling blue)

  • Several naps

  • A basketball game (but of course "our" team lost which put a bit of a sting in the $108 we paid for nosebleed tickets


But of course there's been a lot of gray, chilly weather and it's raining today and then a loss of an hour thanks to the atrocity that is Daylight Savings ... eh....let's just say that I am actually glad that tomorrow is Monday because it least it signals that the start of a new week and new options.

OK, enough of that ... no more wallowing...I swear.

And on that note, on the bright side I have next week off from work and I also start hand / wrist therapy. Hopefully this will do something to alleviate the ongoing pain and numbness. I mean the drugs are nice and all...but still...

OK, Desper*te Housew1ves is on tonight. That's gotta be good for something, right?
