И будто каждому дому отводился в пользование объем, а не площадь -- дворы усохли до самых подъездов, подъезды открыли двери прямо на проезжие улицы, дворники и дворничихи исчезли, сменившись работниками коммунального хозяйства.
And as if each building were given the right to a certain volume of space -- not an area of ground -- the yards withered back to the entrances and the entrances opened their doors straight onto public streets, while the male and female yard keepers disappeared and were replaced by communal services functionaries.
And as if each/every home/building took for itself [of?] the use of space, not area [of ground, sure] --

Taking my dictionary and finishing this at work, bleh.

Spent far too much time this morning cleaning up after cats, cleaning up the apartment, boy cleaned out the fridge and now we just have to wait for them to come and poke at it till either it works again or they decide it's dead in the water and replace it. Probably the latter. So sick of everything. I need a day off to fucking clean house, rest, and get some writing done. Recharge. Oh, we're not doing anything this weekend, that's something. ... ooh, maybe I can take Friday off. Or maybe we'll hear back about the house today! Yeah, that's thinking optimistic.

And the boy talked with someone at work about her experience with buying an REO and the listing agent getting a BPO, so that looks optimistic for us.

Computers are in. I just need to consolidate receipts and fling them at Lurking Bandit and go 'here, reimburse me' and that's that. Right now it's just house stuff and getting back on track with writing stuff, so that's not bad. And shoring up my routines, which have (semi-obviously) been fraying at the edges. And looking up that one house near here which supposedly is another antebellum era house or at least, 19th century house. Does kind of look like it could be, except I question it. Also it's wood instead of brick, and if it's been renovated as much as the Elf Lord thinks it has, um, heh, no. It might have been fixed up to flip rather than to live in. I'll trust Old Hotness, which is brick, solid, and was actually lived in and not tarted up to cover defects.

Anyway. Oh, that was quick. I guess they did just decide to replace the fridge after all, here they come with a new one. At least that'll be soon over, too.
