Hello, and welcome!
This may make no sense! I’m going freeform. Let me scribble this on a napkin for you. Knowing you, you’ll just put it through the wash in your pants pocket anyway.- Apparently houses take longer to unload than, say, free kittens or drugs. I’m wondering about listing it on eBay. Would that violate the contract with the realtor?
- The city inspector showed up yesterday (unannounced, as everyone’s been showing lately), and gave us a list of minor repairs that must be completed before the house is sold. Some of them make sense. Others make me wonder. For example, we cannot legally transfer ownership of the house to another party if the laundry room light has a metal pull-chain on it. No joke. Also, we got cited for not having a permit for the water heater, which was installed long before we took up residence hereabouts.
- I have three beverages (all open) and a banana on my desk. This would make for an excellent still life in oils, if I was so inclined. I am not.
- I love that my state encourages me to order drugs from Canada. I will likely be doing this once I no longer have health insurance, since Planned Parenthood doesn’t carry my pill. Last time I switched birth control, I went into a 6-month zombie episode. I will not be doing that again, thank you.
- I’ve been asked out thrice this week. [nts: use ‘thrice’ more often.] Is that a time-of-year thing? Or do I just smell single?
- It finally sunk in that the Breast Cancer 3day is in two weekends. I’m freaking out, which I shouldn’t do, because I know it’ll be good. It’s only because time has a way of… I don’t know… rushing by at blinding speeds? So, yeah. I have some things to do as regards my walk: I was lamenting to my seester last night that I’m still a little short of my fundraising goal ($540 left to go as of this very second). She told me to donate my time at work. So I’m dedicating all of today and part of tomorrow, and I’m done. Let’s not mention that the time I took to write this post is all going to charity. Better than my coffee habit, I guess. I must buy more of those fancy walking socks, because they are miraculous indeed. I was calling them penguin socks, but I have been informed they look more like puffins. My mistake! Either way, they still cost $15/pr. And I’m supposed to bring 6 pairs. Damn. I should probably figure out what to wear, and also what to do to my hair since we will not have the benefit of styling. I’m gonna look great. Right. They told us yesterday that the Twin Cities event is the chosen one for the media promos and such. That means I might get to be on TV again. Since I don’t have TV, I can easily pretend no one else will see me on it, either. Did I mention I’m gonna look great? As long as the weather’s good, either Saturday or Sunday I will be walking a solid 20 miles. For those of you here, that’s the entire chain of lakes, twice around. Haha. I will be wearing my Camelbak, stocked with my do-it-myself protein bars, and Tofurky Jurky. And extra puffins. We’re not allowed to bring phones on the walk, but we can pack them so we have them in our tents at night. Expect plenty of bitching on ye olde fon-jrnl.
- Last, but nowhere near leastest: FONDEST BIRTHDAY WISHES this week to: April, Monica, Stephanie, Escobar, Micci, Gary, and Jay.
