cornerofmadnessSo THIS house hit the market yesterday at 163K
It's gorgeous. It's everything I could want in a Victorian house. I was ready to call my bank to work up what I can afford. Then I calmed my ass down and looked it over. WHY so cheap? Yeah Wellston kinda sucks but it's not too bad. Sends to Dad. Why so cheap?
His response. Ghosts in that attic, demons in that basement (truth) buy it. We all were concerned that it looked like the basement wall is collapsing and if that's the case I can't afford to fix a foundation.evil_little_dog is already plotting how to redo the fence (so you can get to the garage) and putting in trees and apparently showing up with all her possessions, ha.
Today I go to Wellston and look. It's one block off the main drag. At the corner of the block is the abandoned (haunted!!) old Loy Hospital (jackasses busting out windows), some business I have no clue about and a non denomination (which I keep typing as demonation) church with a hand painted sign that says COMPELL CHRIST (like that's not ominous). On the other side of the block is a small business and the old school turned community center and Adena health clinic (is it a drug rehab place? I forgot to look. Good going Dana) Down the road is nothing but big houses like this one and St Peter and St Paul Catholic church and Grace Baptist.
I. Want. This. House. I don't wanna live in town. It's not the best area. I don't even care. I come home and find out why so cheap. It was a typo. It's 263K not 163. SIGH. Keeping my eye on it. If you knock off 30K I could probably still buy it but at that price I'm not sure I want that neighborhood. I'll end up with old hospital ghosts or something.
My stomach is no longer burning (huzzah) but I am still weak, exhausted and getting nauseated. Of course I suspected potential ulcers before this. I need to keep my eye on this. But I did get a letter (again! OMG why letters?) from Cabell Hospital about a telehealth appointment with the nurse prac. WHY? I haven't had the CT scan yet and I just saw the actual doc. Yet another call I need to make.
I did watch Glitch's Knights of Guinevere. It was....interesting. I'm not as jazzed as the rest of the internet who are acting like this is the second coming. That aside, I did really like it and am disappointed I'll be waiting months if not a year for more. It definitely comes out swinging (right at Disney). I do think I need a second watch, pausing to read all the worldbuilding posters etc in the background.
I am interested in Frankie (who seems to be the main pov character with Andy behind them). Now Dana Terrance made The Owl House one of the queerest things Disney ever put out. She had a non binary character in Raine Whispers. In Frankie non binary? Are they a trans masc? I'm not sure yet. Their friends call them Frankie, their boss calls them Franklin but Guinevere (who interacted with young Frankie and Andy) calls them Francesa. It would be interesting to see if we're getting a trans character.
And I haven't done Science Saturday in a while so have some links

But it is a lovely house and just your style!
