Just a few things...
1. We're so broke. I paid bills the other day. I'm loving the sabbatical and being back in Salem and I hope it lasts forever and ever amen. However, paying two sets of bills, a mortgage, and rent is pretty depressing.
2. Is there any way to nicely ask the people who live in the apartment above us to tread a little lighter? It sounds like they're trying to bust through to the earth's inner core with each foot step. Seriously. Light fixtures rattle. We're thinking of trying to bribe Megan into visiting (four thousand Horrible Cookies? twelve quarts of cake batter ice cream?) because she has no problem telling people to knock it off.
3. Just when I think I've beaten the exhaustion into submission, I'm suddenly unable to get to sleep for a few nights, and thus the vicious cycle continues...
