Sox, it was Patrick Gutierrez.

Ah cool!

Eta: Looks like Mike withdrew.

No one ever tells me nuffin anymore.

It's got tenants! So you could buy it now and decide what to do later. But also apparently you can't get inside the units?

I actually like him( PG) as a shit-fixer. And I totally have questions I want to ask him, I was just caught flat footed on a Sunday afternoon. I've never had a candidate for anything knock on my door. Well, Mary Washington, but I'd already met her socially via my next door neighbors, so it was old home 15 minutes. I kinda felt like an idiot, but did manage to wish him good luck and thank him for coming to our hood. His companion remarked on how adorable our hood was, and I immediately launched into neighborhood likes carrots, because that's just my problem. If only I'd mentioned he definitely made my shortlist.

:D that's the best part about Baltimore and what I miss most.

In random news, in TJ Maxx yesterday, they had a bunch of floor-length silver skirts for $120 (marked $600-something), and I wanted one SO BAD. But I can't imagine a formal event in my future, so I did not get it.

Sweet potato and turnip baby food have both been successfully made and frozen.

Both 2900 sq. feet divided among six units and the "needs TLC" are sounding awooga sirens for me. Also not loving that the units look to be nearer to each other than I am to my neighbors across the hall. There can be such a thing as too much togetherness.

I drove to Memphis to catch Spotlight this afternoon and just missed the lunch menu at the sushi place. So of course I ordered 2 rolls, either of which would have made a full meal. Good thing I skipped breakfast.

How do people with kids ALSO have pets? Just wrangling our pets tonight was exhausting (Kato barfed, when we cleaned that up with a bleach solution we had to keep shooing Toke away because she lives up to her name and LOVES bleach smell and kept trying to find the source and roll around in it, and then we had to burrito Slinky to give her the nightly meds PLUS it was an SQ fluids night). If we also had to wrangle kids, someone would be getting ignored, that's for sure.

Rough evening is leaving me super down. Sometimes I just wish it could all stop.

Hey, Gud. It sounds like you're really in need of some self-care right now. I'm not sure what kind of support system you have in your life, but I suspect you don't have what you need.

I don't know how to convince you that you can't live up to an impossible standard. It sounds like you're responsible for everything in your household, which is unfair and unsustainable unless you're a single parent or live by yourself.

Have you thought about talking to a therapist?
