Off_stretched, I am in dire need of help, someome to vent to, or a small fortune. The situation: I'm currently living at home with my father whilst I study to be a teacher, although it feels like he's...sorting out this shitstorm without me having yet another panic attack or bursting into tears again? Is there anyway in hell I can have my own personal space again, that isn't taken over by fucking boxes?

Hello! I'm moving into my first real house soon, and it badly needs a repaint. I know what to do with almost all the other rooms, but the kitchen and bathroom have me stumped. Both are currently hospital...and oddly laid out and the bathroom doubles as a laundry. I haven't moved in yet, so no pictures of the bathroom right now but here's the kitchen as it stands.

Now I've got this note claiming I didn't pay my rent on time and threatening to evict me. My hay fever is bothering me sufficiently...

Starting probably in April, there's a farmer's market just about a block from my apartment.

But at least my apartment building is surrounded by pretty, brightly painted Victorian houses. And cats. They're all over. I've seen at least five in the parking lot already. It's the neighborhood in general--while I...
