Sometimes life hits you like a Mack truck. Like this week. :P
Hi, everyone. Yes, I vanished again. *sighs* I certainly didn't WANT to. *headdesk*
The past few weeks have been interesting, in that Chinese curse way. In the past week alone: I'm 3/4ths through the process of buying a condo. (SO MUCH PAPERWORK GAH) Estimated taxes #4 were due on Friday (I am le broke now), the annual apartment inspection for water leaks and potential meth labs is Monday (which means I have to deep clean this weekend UGH), my right-side work monitor finally died and I bought another new one to match the recently replaced left monitor (see le broke note), and this weekend was a local convention I wanted to attend with a friend, but had to cancel because of everything else going on. >< (I had my Agatha from Girl Genius cosplay mostly ready, too. Wig and trilobite pin and all.)
And work is hanging heavy over me, as usual. Annnnd I've been 25-75% sick throughout it all. Fun times.
I want to post this now, so I don't put it off any longer. GAH.
More tomorrow or Monday. If I don't follow through with that, please poke me. Seriously, I miss posting!!!

I hope everything else improves and that there are no more stresses and expenses.

Portland isn't as expensive a place to live as SanFran or NYC, but it's on its way. At my sad price range, houses are falling down and condos are small and in VERY high demand. About a third of the available condos are cash-only, which doesn't do me any good. Most of what's left are bank-owned and/or short sale, which can leave you in bank-waiting-limbo for up to two years. The sliver of condos that are left are the ones I can try for. And where this one falls. Here's hopin' this purchase goes forward!!
