Unfortunately, the apartment is a no-go. The place was run-down inside and out. The neighborhood was sketchy- although a neighbor I talked to said she'd been there for 3 years and it had been fine (except for a pellet gun shooting in May).
Ta dah * saw the apartment
To do * look at other apartment ads * Project work * Start gathering magazines that are using up bookshelf space that I need * Try not to feel too discouraged

I so wanted to get loads done today!!! Well, I will try to at least continue to make baby steps.......... To Do: Pick up 6 more items on bedroom floor Throw away 6 more pieces of mail in living room Start bag #2 of books to bring to recycling center Carrie

Hi Txkyles! Welcome to WIT I hope you feel better ThreeG and you too, Carrie. Well done on working when you don't feel well. I've had a stomach ache all day and went to bed with it. I just got back up. I think DH is angry with me, as I said I was only going to lay down for an hour and it's been more like 2 1/2.... I just got up and dd said he'd gone for a motorbike ride. Hypatia, Well done on getting your laundry done. I'm sorry, Syzygy, that the apt wasn't good It's great you're keeping at it and not giving up. There's a place for you out there, and you'll find it. I've heard Dave Ramsey (he's a financial adviser on the radio,) tell people to ride around in a good neighborhood and look for older people who make have garage apt's to rent out. He says they're usually inexpensive. I've never tried it, but might work. Since I think DH is mad, I went ahead and emptied the dressers. His clothes are on our bed and the light bulbs / garden stuff from the mudroom are on the deep freezer. I could try and shift them myself, but it will be easier with him. Todos: Load dishwasher. Clear off kitchen table. Swish and Swipe bathroom.

Hi everyone Sad to hear Molly is still missing Carrie. Wishing for her speedy safe return to your arms. What a bummer about the apartment Syzygy! Good luck finding a decent affordably priced one in a reasonable area before the students descend. Yesterday I was cleaning all my kitchen dishes and utensils because ants got into the cupboards and among the dishes. I got the dishes all clean and dry, now to tackle the cupboards. Clear enough space for dishes in rabbit cupboard Empty rabbit cupboard (in the same unit as invaded kitchen cupboards) Remove food items from top of microwave

Merrymaid...so sorry that your tummy is still upset. Do you think it is a virus or just a type of nausea? Tiger; hooray for tossing! Carrie7on, I hope your cat returns real soon. Many of mine returned after more than 5 days away, even my 10 yr old siamese who was gone for 10 days! She "Told me" all about her adventures for an hour straight! She was thin, but still healthy. Syzygy good luck finding an apartment. I just know that the right one, at the right price, is there waiting for you. My laundry is done, but sad to say that was all I did on my to do list because of my allergies. I now have a sore throat from sneezing and coughing so much. 3g is me
