warm enough today that I'm sweating

[cornerofmadness]

And have the windows open. Now I know the entire courtyard smells like dog piss because the idiot pet owners here refuse to walk their dogs twenty feet to the woods. I'm beginning to see why many apts don't allow rentals.

Mom wants me out of here. I dont' know where to go. The houses here suck. I went looking at the new listings.

a double wide for 140K with not even 1.5 acres. Who are they kidding?

Or this for 129K fun sized lot read tiny. Hi, I'm an overpriced dinky little shit box.

Hi I’m a shed with no windows for 120K Like a prison, only it's been rented for years so you know that's been kept up...

I’m smaller than CoM’s apt and 50 miles from work (but I'm at least cute)

or i could go live in Middleport/Pomeroy, you know those dying towns because things are dirt cheap probably for a reason

at least this is worth the cost

I should stop looking. I just feel more and more trapped here.

I didn't write nearly what I had hoped to for Camp Nano's marathon.

My stomach is rebelling and randomly trying to empty itself. Not sick (well there is a low grade fever but I think that's my body responding to the heat. Like I said anything over 75 hurts) just it's usual antics.

thanks I appreciate it.

Honestly the cold doesn't bug my arthritis but cold rain does so between that and allergies spring sucks, summer sucks for the reason you listed and yes autumn is my favorite as well.

Yes, no one wants in this body.

yeah... those are not a good investment and not a good fit for you. maybe a better rental situation would be good for the time being? (if such a thing is possible?)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

such a thing is not possible. I'm in some of the best and newest housing there is

[0-mother-0.livejournal.com]

and with a quick search, I turned up this on pomeroy :/

oh yes, I know but thank you. It's RIGHT ON the river. It's why I won't really consider Middleport or Pomeroy

I don't even want to look at those houses, the descriptions are enough.

I feel you about wanting to get out of here.

Someone's dog (not looking at Vinnie's half-brother across the street, not at all) left his feces right next to the steps leading up to my house, and someone took my tulips. Again.

But my Big Bang is posted?

the last three are at least livable and I'm sure you do.

time to put a snare on the tulips (what kind I do not know)

well at least you're ahead of me there. I haven't even looked at your edits because at this point I'm not sure I can do that AND the Prophecy at the same time

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ah. And I'm sure you know why.

I think I'll just move them, which has been the plan for some time. Of course, them being out of immediate reach won't stop some people, considering the jerk in my yard last year.

Work on Prophecy, and post the edited version later.

good luck transplanting

That is the current plan. we'll see.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I have those new tools I got yesterday, that'll help.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I'm sure

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Pitchfork probably will work better, which means I'll borrow Mom's.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

too bad you can't springload that for the tulip picker

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ooooo.

sometime day before yesterday, a neighborhood dog pooped directly in the middle of our lantana bush out front. how they accomplished it, I have no idea - but there it was. "watering" involved holding my nose while pressure washing the poop out of the bush. if it weren't for the smell, it would have been a lot funnier.

Rogue likes to do stuff like that. It's like she's hiding her droppings or something.
