The Pale Horse is still galloping on

Remember a month or so back when I posted a cute little yellow house right next to my office and I said the old lady who lived there smoked like a chimney and I wanted that house when she died. I got an email from the secretary today saying your house is empty. Yeah, she died yesterday. Oddly enough one of her sons nearly clipped my car in the parking lot and parked in her yard (I didn't know yet she was dead) and I almost spoke to him telling him I liked the house/yard but didn't. Boy am I glad I didn't. So I got my wish. My parents are ghoulishly thrilled.

and that horseman is still coming for me, my sugar barely dropped all day and now it's back to well over 300. seriously WTF.

Ever read a book, really loved it until the last ten pages then it's WTF? Yeah that was tonight. Gah.

The students got chewed out today, especially since several of them are allied health/nursing wanna bes. This being late to tests, not taking tests on time, leaving class whenever you fill like will not be tolerated and I pointed out the long waiting list for these classes should they FUCK UP.

I have had that issue with novels before. or read the first of a trilogy and love it, the second book making me cock my head, and the third making me throw it across the room in disgust.

yeah.

So, are you gonna find out about the YELLOW house?

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2012-08-08 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
yeah that's annoying too

yes i am and then find out how much to side that wood house

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2012-08-08 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Make the siding part of the mortgage. :D

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2012-08-08 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
if the house is remotely affordable working in cutting down the three trees of doom and putting up siding (I do not trust wood houses) would be key

Three trees of doom and siding. :D

I don't blame you; I like siding, myself.

now if only i could afford that victorian siding.

mom still wants me to buy the monstrosity that was leaking thru the room offer them 20K and put another 60K into it and then i'd have a massive wonderful house...

Well, you know, that isn't a BAD idea. Except for the mold you'd have to rip out from the leaks in the roof.

if that's all it woudl take to fix it i'd do it but...

and yes that too but it didn't smell of mold...yet

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well, you know.

Mold's tricky.

[identity profile] cornerofmadness.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
indeed but given my allergy to it i react without actual touching. I was okay but surely that will not last

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, definitely.

I remember Atty's house, that was mold-ridden and she sent me over to do something there, and I nearly died.

yeah Wood Hall on campus is like that

[identity profile] evil-little-dog.livejournal.com 2012-08-09 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
I'm really surprised that just spraying the place liberally with apple cider vinegar and water took care of the mold, at least everywhere but the basement.

It worked, and it didn't stain the woodwork nor the wallpaper.
