Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Sue. What Sophia said, really.

Sophia is wise, Sue.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Sue, my heart hurts for you and Pico.

Yeah, I know. I don't think he's quite ready yet, but he's declining a bit everyday. That said, he may freak if I take him back to the vet tomorrow just to change his pain patch.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm so sorry, Sue. That just sucks, no way around it.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'm always appalled at the choices they make based on "what will sell"

There are some obvious things that people miss -- the big one being major clutter. My guest room ,office and garage would need a major clean up before the house sells. ( not that I want to do this). The other thing I've seen is houses that are painted bright colors - different in every room -- that look like a lot of work to repaint. I'll eventually repaint every room in this house, but mostly, it is livable until I get there. The final thing people don't do --is all the minor repairs-- put the door handles on and trim your bushes people.

My favorite buyers -- the one that say " I love the furniture". I always hope they overpay for whatever they buy, because they seem sooo clueless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sue, what everyone said about you and Pico. You will be wise, and you will be sensitive. You're a good cat owner. Just don't feel guilty.

God, I'm wired and tired. Once all this is done with it'll be time to start job seeking. Tireder.

Oy, Sue. I'm so sorry.

Liese, did the package arrive yet? I'm worried that the stuff is stale now.

Noah and I just had our first swimming lessons together (I've had entire childhoods of lessons alone). What a perfect day for it. I'm trying to figure out how for the second summer sessions we can go 3 times a week.

My mom sent me a link to these driftwood horse sculptures that are amazing.

Why yes, my sunday is that lazy.
