LJ, Dreamwidth, etc
You may have noticed that this journal has crossposted to LJ from Dreamwidth for awhile.

door number 3
Yesterday, Erik and I went out with our realtor to view three properties we'd identified as potential hits. The first two were in Graham and had houses; the third was in Rainier and didn't ( Read more... ) -

Everyone else is getting the death flu...
...I get a UTI.
Could be worse, I have basically no symptoms. Went to the doc for something else (that the jury's still out on but unlikely to be anything much) and he was all, "Hey, white cells! Bacteria!"

Other than that, still truckin'.
