<div>Yup. I'm amazed at the things people can spin into race issues. </div>
I just got back from visiting my grandpa for the day. We went to his favorite restaurant for a late lunch and it was delicious as usual. I had a really nice day, but now I'm exhausted and wish it was early enough for a nap. Oh well.
Aryn, that is ridiculous that anyone would think this was a race issue. It really annoys me that people are so quick to jump to that when there's no reason to. I'm glad I haven't seen that picture pop up on my newsfeed yet. Ugh.
I'm on the second floor. I'm not nervous but I definitely won't be taking any showers tonight. The lightening is crazy. Sasha is nervous so I went ahead and gave her one of the new frozen treats, that seemed to help her.
Leisel, I think it's great that you're so close with your grandfather! When my grandparents are in town we go to lunch but I don't talk to them regularly.

<div>Thanks! I'm really only close to this one grandfather. I only see my grandma on my dad's side once or twice a year. </div>
Evening ladies. Hanging out with Pete and Repeat at our old (UNSOLD) house in Pennsylvania. It is fun, just like when they were growing up, except we have minimal furniture (aka a bed and two bar stools) and only water and electric. Kinda like camping but fancier.
Eagles, If you're having odd migraines it might be worth getting tested for allergies. My brother is allergic to some foods/additives and he gets migraines when he eats them.
Sounds like a productive day. I'm not gonna lie, I don't miss all the wedding crap I was doing. I enjoyed planning, but I am glad I don't have to worry about it anymore.
I hope that those Imitrex last for you, migranes are the worst. Is this a recent problem or have you been having it for a while?

How long as the house been on the market? Or have you not put it up yet? Posted by pokepoke27[/QUOTE]
We had it on the market for 6 months and it didn't sell, so we are pulling down the lathe and plaster on the first floor and putting up drywall, redoing the hardwood floors, new furnace, new carpet throughout the upstairs, new windows, etc. The house was built in 1890, we are hopeful that by throwing some money into it, it will sell when we put it on the market again, and if it doesn't we are going to rent it out.
hey guys. I'm in a super bad mood right now for absolutely no reason at all. I think it is because I have 3 papers due by this time next weekend and I am having a ton of trouble writing 2 of them.
I'm also being ridiculous because the grocery store is down the hill and I am too lazy to go get a snack like I'm craving right now.
No large front porch any longer. But we have a picture of it when it was a bed and breakfast for the Erie Canal back in the early 1900 and it had a fabulous wrap around. I always wanted to come up with enough cash to put that back on but never was able to. And now that financially I could swing it, I don't live in it anylonger.
And Poke, I agree, renting could/would be a PITA.
Feel better Eagles, you are getting so close to the bestest part!
Yeah I am just having one of those feeling sorry for myself moments where I want to whine and say eff this world, I wanna get off.
Leisel -- I have a paper that I have to write for my law&cinema class that is on any topic I want, regarding movies & the law. So I think I am going to write about how the death penalty is portrayed in movies. Then I have to write two papers for my "difficult conversations" class about how the skills I learned are going to apply to being an attorney.
Eags, hope you get a handle on the migraine. Those sound so awful
Leisel, glad you got to see your grandpa.
Musu, don't be grumpy. You will get the papers done.
Ski, our old house has been on the market for almost three months. No nibbles yet. It's empty though so not like there is much to do but mow the lawn and go make sure nothing looks dusty every week or so.
I would imagine lawyers have to have all kinds of difficult conversations.
Yikes Eagles. I've had like two or three migranes. They suck so bad. I sometimes get nervous if I feel a bad headache coming on because I'm afraid it could be a migrane. Don't worry, these 13 are just going to fly by : ). Are you going on a HM?
