guster that is exciting about the house, sounds like it would be a great fit for now with some long term potential, as well. I hope if it's meant to be it all works out for y'all. Also team-I-look-at-real-estate-on-the-daily, mostly stuff back home. My and DH's iMessage history is just me sending him Zillow links all the time. I miss home ownership a lot...being in a rental is the smart move for us right now since we know we're leaving here shortly, but I just hate it. My house and yard is truly my hobby so to an extent I feel like that is taken away from me right now. Hence why I am plotting a mini makeover in the kitchen :insert diabolical face emoji here:

Grandma was thrilled to meet C. She also wanted me to sneak her home and said she won't live until her next birthday (which is next week.) She said they are not meeting her needs where she is but she couldn't say what needs were not being met. At least 2 people a day from our family are going there. The place seems nice but it's so hard to know with these things.

trtlcrzy Glad you were able to get antibiotics quickly! I have watched plenty of Fixer Upper on HGTV. Nothing they do is my style, it looks good, but just not my thing. I don't really 'decorate' though. H stayed home sick again today. He said he's felling a little better this afternoon. I have a sore throat and decided I will kill him if I get sick and miss work. I've never had strep that I remember, I wouldn't even know if I had it. I've heard it's like swallowing knives? No? For me it doesn’t feel like swallowing knives. My symptoms right now are sore throat, headache, ear ache, fever, swollen lymph nodes in my neck and under my chin. I also probably have body aches but I can’t tell because I’m also sore from exercising. If you can look in the back of your throat with a flashlight (I use the one on my phone) and see white spots, it’s very likely strep.

How do you know him? Does he yell talk in person? haha High school. No, I never noticed that about him. He's a nice guy, he was always very popular. Used to be terrified of spiders. Pete knows him through me and finds it hilarious when their drama is on the cover of US Weekly or something. He's always like, "hey, your friend made the news again." Were you good friends or just casual acquaintances? Do you talk to him still?

My best friend just called to tell me she's pregnant. 21 weeks pregnant! Her daughter has a genetic heart condition and this was an unplanned pregnancy. She hadn't decided if she was willing to take the risk with another baby until more genetic testing could be done. Well fate made her decision but she just left her 20 week ultrasound and had a fetal echo and baby has a perfect heart and is a girl! No one knows except her parents, brother, SIL and apparently MY HUSBAND! He works with hers and he told A 16 weeks ago! 16 weeks! 16 weeks he's been keeping this from me. I'm alternating between super excited and super pissed.

mwhip, the last time I had strep it felt like swollowing knives. I had to give myself a major pep talk every time I needed to swollow. Terrible.

Were you good friends or just casual acquaintances? Do you talk to him still? We hung out but in the same big group of friends. We were never what I would call close friends. I'm positive I must have some group photos of school dances with both of us in them. But we've seen each other enough since High School that when Pete randomly stumbled upon their show he was like, "isn't that your friend Tarek?" I don't talk to him. I'm trying to remember the last time I saw him and think it was at our mutual friends' house for a Memorial Day party a couple years ago.

I always liked Tarek and Christina. I was sad they didn't make it, esp. after he went thru the cancer and everything.

Give me a minute to clean up all the toys/mess. haha, no rush. I won't be going anywhere for a couple days... PDQ Ok. It’s hard to get good lighting with the sun reflecting off of the snow, but I did my best. I took as many angles to get it all in. It’s not a huge space, tv wall to railing is 12ft 8in, and window wall to tile is just under 14ft. The tv has to be on that wall because that’s where the cable hook up is and when our basement is finished we will get a smaller tv for upstairs and this one will go downstairs. I don’t love that the couch is right up against the railing, but I tried it on the window wall and it was hard to see the tv and there was no room for end tables. Toys will all go downstairs after the basement is finished too. POOF

Apparently there was an instance of the cops being called for a "possible suicidal male with a gun", but I don't think he ever physically did anything to her. All I'm seeing is verbal abuse, alcohol abuse, he went to rehab, etc.

What are you looking to change trtlcrzy? I don’t like how the sofa is positioned. Plus if possible I’d like a little more seating but in the past we’ve had a small glider over by the window and I feel like it cuts off the entry way. I just mostly hate the layout of my living room.

This was my thought, that you need more seating. I'm working on a floor plan now, lol.

At the front door there is a small bit of tile, 5x3. There’s 17in from the railing to the front closet door. The railing is 126in. End tables are 16in x 24in. Couch is about 40in deep.

I just got a 11.5% raise. Unexpectedly. They're raising our pay for all employees earning under a certain $ amount.
