In an uncharacteristic departure from my usual stance, viz.: "home ownership implies a 30-year commitment to one place which is boring also it is expensive, why would you do that":

THERE ARE HOUSES FOR SALE IN BLOOMINGTON
THAT ARE ACTUALLY WITHIN WHAT I COULD REASONABLY AFFORD ON MY SALARY
ONE OF THEM IS CLOSE ENOUGH PRETTY CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVED WHEN I LIVED THERE
I COULD TOTALLY BUY IT AND GO UP ON THE WEEKENDS AND THEN I WOULD HAVE A PLACE TO LIVE WHEN I GO BACK TO SCHOOL
GRANTED I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE IT CONVERTED*
ALSO THE STAIRS MIGHT GIVE ME TROUBLE**

why car loan and job in Evansville
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

ANGST. Also PAAAYYYYYNNNE.


*Madame Lee don't do no expensive-ass gas anything. I could kill the heat and use electric space heaters in the winter until I could afford to have the whole shebang converted, also I could have the stove done as it would be less outlay
**The property info sheet says, "Please be careful on the stairs!" I don't know if the stairs are just narrow and weird to navigate if you're not used to them, or if they need substantial work done

I came straight home from work yesterday and slept, and now I think I'm going to turn in for a couple of hours, just because I have to be at work by 9:30. I failed at making dinner but at least I got some resumés sorted, though a lot of it is apply-in-person.

Lolmom, despite being repeatedly asked and promising several times to do it, has failed to caulk the upstairs tub. I am getting v. tired of this because everything hurts and I don't expect to be able to afford a massage even when I get paid and while a hot shower is nice when your back hurts, a bath is better. I am probably going to have to go all whiny about my back pain on her ass. (FTR, I would caulk the tub myself but am told there's a trick to it, and I have repeatedly asked her to either caulk the tub or show me how to do it.)

I hope this week will be better than, or at least suck less than, last week.

Dear Lee,

Perhaps it would be totally bitchin' if you were to research some other tribal island society for t3h n0v3l omg, or if you were to read some nice soothing studies on acculturation instead. When you are dreaming about the Maori all night every night, there is a serious problem.

Everyone would appreciate it if you stopped.

Also, there will be no "research trip" to New Zealand, even if actual research is conducted there. You have a living to earn.

Now get up off your duff and go make dinner.

No love, and scant tolerance,
Lee
