I just saw an ad for a dating side for introverts. I would never fucking join, a whole website of single people who are *even less* interested than anyone on a mainstream dating site in leaving home to meet?
Nightmare fuel. Nothing will get accomplished.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

A dating app but it's just one picture of someone's bookshelves, one of their usual grocery haul, one of their pets, and one their thermostat

I said I was gonna sleep in but then I remembered *I'm* the one responsible for unclogging my laundry line.
Time to learn something.

It's been 10+ days of suffering in my house. Some sort of virus. Son has literally gone delirious/landed in er. Daughter, bronchitis. And I've coughed myself into what feels like a hernia.

There have been a half dozen contractors in and out of the empty house next door over the past 5 days.
None have changed the batteries in the smoke detector that consistently beeps. It begs for someone to do something.

I am struggling to get my life back to a peaceful place again. The past 2 months have been so incredibly exhausting & stressful.
But I'm a homeowner now. And still sober. So that's good.

Moved into the new place last weekend. Broke things off w/2 guys I was seeing on Monday. Worked all week.
Today I've had a plumber out, made a trip to Target & 3 different trips to Lowe's. I've rearranged the living room twice. It's 2 pm.
My life is utter chaos right now.
I hate it.

I did it. I managed to scrape up the energy to make it to closing today.
I'm a homeowner.
I never thought I'd see the day.
Bye bye to shifty landlords, I'm done with them!

I've been struggling to recover from the flu for a week and a half.
Dan hasn't left my side. He has stayed in bed with me, curled up against my legs every single day and night.
I love him so much.

Today was an emotional rollercoaster. I cried a lot. My dad & I always talked about buying a house together. Now I'm doing it alone.
He has been gone 14 months. I have been sober for 13 months.
At least he gave me that gift.

The worst part about this food pantry is that if you want to receive anything you need to be here hours before they start registration.
I got here at noon when registration started.
They haven't even started distribution yet and have told me they're running out of food.

America is great. By great I mean hell.
On one hand, I'm in the process of buying a home and that's, like, a thing a "successful" person does.
On the other hand I *have* to buy to even afford a place to live bc rents are outrageous & I'm currently sitting in line at the mobile food pantry.

Offer declined. I took it personally for a mere 5 minutes before I took control of my brain again. That was pretty good.
Tomorrow I will adjust my strategy and on Sunday I'll begin again.

I currently pay $1800 a month to rent a townhome and can't get a single repair done in a timely manner (or at all in some cases).
The mortgage on this house will be $1400. And it has a deck and a yard and a new roof.
I hope this works out.

My realtor has submitted an offer on a house.
Now I wait.
I just want this process to be over. It's torture. I could never do real estate for a living and am only buying a house bc it's cheaper than renting!
I need a nap.
