International Women's Day.
Mar. 8th, 2017 10:12 pmFrankly I felt more depressed than empowered by this. With information like it'll be another 169 years before there's true international equality, it's hard to be optomistic.On the other hand Iceland is making it mandatory, equal pay for men and women and it turns out so does Minnesota. Hmmm I could live there.
As I'm on spring break, I couldn't take off work. I didn't even leave the house. The closest I came to solidarity is to wear my red fuzzy socks. We did taxes. My refund is very nice nearly 1500. I hope my student loans enjoy it.
There is good news. I am a bit surprised to be truthful. Conned was picked up for an anthology so my elves at an anime con will be seen. And it's a new to me publisher so that's good too. Branching out can't hurt.
And mom and my aunt want me to buy this
Pink Lady
It cost less than what I planned to spend on a car. Honestly I'm not sure WHY it's this cheap. Sure Wellston sucks and yes it obviously needs a new roof and paint on the outside, the inside isn't nearly as trashed as I expected for a house this cheap. Honestly I am curious as to why it is so cheap. Yes the floors are in need of redoing and some of the wallpaper will make your eyes bleed but that is comestic. Does it have a cracked foundation? Did a triple murder happen here (Mom: who cares? You like ghosts).
But seriously![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
evil_little_dog & silvrethorn HAVE to see the carousel horse wallpaper (Mom says I have to leave it if I buy this). It could be tempting. Yeah it could have lead paint but it's not like I'm going to eat it. There has to be a reason you can't get a loan for it. It could be a fun place, I love the floors in the living room and those fire places.
I've started pulling together my trip to Salt Lake City. I'm very limited in when I can fly because anything other than going out tuesday and back the next tue/wed is literally 600$ more than if I do those days. Yikes. I'm not excited for this trip at all.
