Stop the world, I want to get off

[next_to_normal]

Another exhausting weekend that makes me wish I had a weekend to recover from my weekend. And this one was even longer than usual! Because it was a holiday weekend, my mom and my aunt (who is not really my aunt, but has been my mom's best friend since approximately age five, so she's basically like my aunt) came to visit me.

It was originally supposed to be just an "Aunt Lynne hasn't seen your apartment yet/let's do fun things in DC" weekend, but since I'm in the throes of condo-searching, that ended up being most of what we did. They did some touristy stuff on their own while I was at work/doing homework/whatever, but we also spent approximately SIX HOURS visiting condos with my realtor. (Who is awesome and I'm so glad my mom thinks he's great, too, because I picked him out all by myself after two kinda sucky realtors.)

So, yeah. Nice to have them here, but not exactly the most relaxing weekend ever. Not to mention that I had to sleep on the sofa bed with my mother because my aunt is not fond of cats and needed to sleep in my bedroom so she could close the door to prevent Chelsea from freaking her out in the middle of the night. My mother is a snoring bed-and-covers-hog, which meant I spent most of the night precariously balanced on the edge of the bed, with no covers, unable to fall asleep due to the obnoxious noise. (In the past, I have thrown pillows, socks, and other (soft) things at her to get her to be quiet when we've shared hotel rooms on vacation.)

On the plus side, I've narrowed down my condo search to three (possibly four) places. I am now mired in indecision because all of them have pros and cons and I can't decide what's most important to me. There may be polling on this in the future.

I'm also feeling kind of crappy, probably because I have a treatment on Friday and my last one is wearing off already. Going out to eat a lot doesn't really help things, either.

I kind of want to do a race or gender swap cast (penny_lane_42 has inspired me - I actually showed my mother the West Wing race swap, because she's a TWW fan, though she pooh-poohed most of the choices) but don't know what show to tackle. Thoughts?

Ooh, sounds like the condo search is actually going well? That's exciting. I'm at the point where I'd like my own place so that all my junk can be spread out, and not just crammed into 1 room.

It's going! My parents are supposed to come back this weekend so my dad can see my top choices, and then I might actually be ready to make an offer...
