cornerofmadnessIt started at 7 AM when the neighbor who shot the fox called to tells us my uncle screamed at him to call us because the ambulance was there to take my aunt to the hospital. She has artificial heart valves and a pacemaker so we all thought she had a heart attack or a stroke especially since she couldn't see (cortical blindness can happen with super high blood pressure which we assumed she had because of how worked up she was about the fox). Hours later we learned that it was actually some sort of infection (that she was no doubt ignoring).
Meanwhile the neighbor who started the whole thing with the fox called in tears because she felt guilty about upsetting my aunt so much (because again we thought it was a heart attack or stroke) and she called the cops herself because the kit was back (turned out it was the mom that was shot) but it was staggering around. One kit died last week so maybe it IS rabid after all. At least this time they had sense enough not to shoot it themselves.
I got caught in a massive storm in Marietta on my way home. the road was flooded out (and this was the high road) and then my fucking windshield wiper broke. My brand new one. OMG WHY? I had to keep stopping and pushing the rubber back into place. I get home to find out from a neighbor someone tried to break into my back door and was arrested on a different charge
So that leads me to house hunting. To my shock my dad calls me into the computer room this morning to excitedly show me this house Now I've been eyeing it. If I decide to live in-town this house is an excellent option. I didn't realize it was built in 1833 until he told me (I didn't look) and I was shocked he was excited by that since old houses have issues (He was so excited he looked it up to learn more about Jackson. Only 136 people lived in the town then). I wouldn't mind this house at all. He's already picking out color schemes to paint it and the fence to match.
Then there's this house which I've been eyeing for more than a year but it never had a damn inside picture. I love the location. Now there's pictures. Is it me or does it look like a country western bar inside?
But there was good news. I do NOT have chronic lyme's disease nor hep A. I go for the gallbladder/liver scan tomorrow.
And here's the dress I plan to buy. Yes it's expensive (sort of) but it's something I can wear other places. It's not quite flapper (but I can always put fringe around the bottom). I've wanted it for at least three years so...
ETA - so I don't forget on the Christmas story, Tony can't afford much so his gift will be to make a week's worth of meals. Javier will buy tickets to go play in Diagon Alley.

That first house is really cute. The inside will look better with some pain (hahaha, I meant PAINT, but pain is probably accurate, too) and decluttering (she said after watching too much HGTV, lol).
The second one sure does have a lot of paneling and dark wood. You might need to do some painting and remove those swinging doors. Unless country bar is a look you like. *g*
That dress is cute!

Pain is probably very apropos for that house.
OMG don't just you just love the swinging doors...not. Wags head. I don't mind dark paneling.
ETA It's my place. It WILL be cluttered because well it's ME
