Never been so happy to go home

Even with my parents fighting. Maybe someone here will be jailed or whatever it is that's going to happen by the time I get back. Sigh. Actually called a realtor and he turns out to be my friend's grandad. I knew he worked for the realtor but his name was on none of the things on the website. I was trying to get an idea about the website as is this ALL they had? What makes me cry is of the three websites for the main 3 realtors is there are the 60K and below shit boxes then it jumps up to about 115-120K and there are houses there I could live in but unless I get better financing and some help with the downpayment, the mortage is @ 200$ too much. That kills. Like this one: Victorian near my library It's a bit too in town but gorgeous enough to ignore that but you and I both know what will happen? I'll kill myself on that spiral staircase. Bedroom #3 would be mine (but how does anything get UP those stairs??)

But right now this is calling my name. Yeah it's small but I get 6 acres. I'll put up a shed for my shit. log cabin No damn neighbors. I might love you tiny cabin.

I cleaned some but mostly laid around beind depressed. I gave up revamping one of my older stories. I just don't have time now. Thanks for the valiant effort though evil_little_dog

Dinner was a bust. It was a really simple meal chile-lime shrimp over a bed of raw jicama. The shrimp was horrible. Fishy and old. even the cats wouldn't eat it. And I burnt my soup (don't laugh, got distracted by packing and cooked all the water out)

I did find some stuff while cleaning, including health records i thought were lost. about several volumes of the cauldron I'll need to copy and send to ELD if she wants them.

I got my strawberries planted (with neighbors STARING at me but this crew has always done that. they make me uncomfortable) in a pot. I figure if they lasted a week in the container they were in, they can last 4 days while I'm gone inside the house.

I won some ebook on writing emotional characters or some such. I don't remember the contest but I've entered many with this blog hop stuff. That's fun

Can I just offer: From my experience, you do NOT want to be on a septic system. They are a pain - and expensive to maintain (esp repairs/replacements). Try to get on city sewer if at all possible.
