Happy Friday!! Bit was off Thursday, so groceries is already done. Today is a day to, hopefully, rest a bit. Some new things going on: Internet is back, so yay! As of Thursday morning the AC unit isn’t acting right, hopefully I can update that that is fixed. The indoor unit is fine, the outdoor unit is making a buzzing noise. Bit is going to check that nothing is caught in the fan blades once it’s light enough to see. For now it’s turned off. Our landlord gave us a letter. He’s selling the house, we have to find a new place to live by June 30th. Bit is applying for an FHA loan, so keep your fingers crossed on that. Her credit is good, just worried because of age, though her father is on as a secondary applicant, so hopefully that helps (he has 0 credit, but not bad credit). If that doesn’t come through, we’re going to have to find a new place to rent, and rent prices are going up. A mortgage will be less, and more sustainable. If we do have to rent again, I’m hoping it’s only for another year or so. But anyway, keep your fingers crossed. We’ve been here for 10 years, and hoped to stay here for another year or two and then buy something. But the timeline’s been moved on us. As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area (floods, heatwaves, hurricanes, etc.), we are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care! IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!

Some political stuff here as well this week. A short story is out on the web, for free, by a much talked about author. I like this one! I like the song it’s based off of too. It’s a fact, not an opinion, or about whether you respect the person in question. A little story about Dolly and Reba. Charlie the Golden’s Humans had a foster fail. Meet the new little brother, Ollie: New Jersey as a safe haven for LGBTQ+? It’s horrible we need it, but I’m glad they did it.
