Pain! (and weight off)

[cornerofmadness]

for what it's worth 4 weeks of exercise has resulted in zero weight loss. Color me not surprised. No recipes this week. too busy.

My back hurts. My couch is broken. I was on it most the day either grading or sorting through the ungodly piles of paper and misc debris that has piled up in the living room. Now my leg is numb and my hip/leg hurts. Thank you arthritic spurs, could you have dug deeper into my nerves. I didn't even get time for a long comforting soak and if I had, my arm would be the one hurting.

I didn't get my lecture done. While I got evil_little_dog's edits for my big bang put in, there is no way I'll get time to edit it all myself so the version that goes up at the site will not be the final version. Just not enough hours in the day especially since I have to get two proposals done at work and I'm running out of time on those too. It's frightening.

I did take time to look up 4 of the houses. Sadly the victorian was cheap because it's on the shit side of town and one of them was in an even worse section. It looks stranded in an abandon post-nuclear 1950's landscape. The houses on the road were kept up but it's just plain shabby.

The one in town wasn't that great but I found one just up the street that for in town living was cute as hell. I looked it up when I got home and sadly it has a pool which takes it to 150K, way out of my league and while I love pools, I'm not sure I want that responsibility/expense.

The last was too far out of town. I heard the dueling banjos. It also had a unibomber, washed out rut of a driveway up to it. I DID see another one that was practical perfect out there. It was nearer (in fact I swear it was a manufactured house), just 2 miles off I-32 and from 32, it was just 2 miles to town. However, when I looked that up it was at a mind blowing 200K+ It probably has tons of land. I didn't look. It didn't matter.

You know what will happen, the moment I buy something the perfect job will open up back home...

I have to do up character bios for my novella among other things. I hope to put them here for people to look over before i send it in.
