We accepted an offer on the house!!!!!

it's about $30,000 less than the original asking price, but in this market, that's not so bad. and we should still walk away with about $24,000. which we've already spent on getting the house ready for market. but i'm happy with a clean slate.

there's something bad in my throat. this is the weirdest thing. i feel like i have some sort of infection, because i've been having hot and cold chills and full-body aches. but the main problem is my throat. it hurts to swallow, and i don't mean the inside of my throat. i mean it hurts between the glands and muscles. it's like everything back there ( Read more... )

we made it home safe and sound. it's nice to be here, especially now that i have crossed quite a few things off my to-do list. yesterday, i finished my new year's cards and mailed a book someone bought from me online. then i vacuumed two floors of the house and mopped the hardwood floors. they needed it badly. i also cleaned two of the four ( Read more... )

i mean the movie. not me. i am definitely nothing close to legend. whenever i see a post-apocalyptic movie like that, i always think i'd be one of the first to die. i'm not very strong physically or mentally. my reflexes are slow. i don't know how to fight. i can't run worth a crap. i don't really know how to shoot a gun. i would be the worst ( Read more... )
