I&#8217;ve been pummeled mercilessly from the inside by something diagnosed as<br \/>\njust-shy-of-bronchitis. Had a fever of 102 for nearly three days, severe<br \/>\ncongestion, body aches, sweats, headaches, sore throat, and so on. My<br \/>\ncomeback has been made possible only by gallons of hot tea and a twice-daily<br \/>\npalmful of pills, antigens, chemicals, and artificial defenders of dmueller.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>2. As a result of no. 1, I&#8217;ve accomplished very little. Very very very<br \/>\nlittle. You could fit all of my positive accomplishments this week on the head<br \/>\nof a small pin.<\/p>\n<p>3. We learned Monday that the house we so enjoy living in will be sold. A<br \/>\nminion of the real estate megalopoly pounded the &quot;for sale&quot; sign into our front<br \/>\nyard this very evening, in fact (no<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.earthwidemoth.com\/mt\/archives\/000425.html\">saintly tricks<\/a><br \/>\nup his sleeve, far as I could tell). What&#8217;s worse? We&#8217;re being asked to<br \/>\nmove before the end of Ph.&#8217;s school year. What&#8217;s worse than that?<br \/>\nThe suitable rents in the area are slim pickings. Most of the four bedroom<br \/>\njoints get divided into per-student rates, where each student pays, say $375 or<br \/>\nmore. There are a few three bedroom flats we&#8217;re looking at, but only a few<br \/>\nof them allow pets. And Yoki, it turns out, despite expert training, remains a<br \/>\npet. What&#8217;s still worse? We&#8217;re invited to <i>enable<\/i> the sale by<br \/>\nkeeping a tidy house, putting away all valuables, and vacating the premises any<br \/>\ntime a realtor decides to call us up for a showing. What summons in me evils and<br \/>\nfuror deeper than I&#8217;ve known in some time? Yes&#8230;realtors calling to see<br \/>\nwhether they can show the house I&#8217;m being asked to vacate. You&#8217;ll want to hide<br \/>\naway the laptop in case any of the &quot;speculators&quot; are thieves.<\/p>\n<p>4. In the spirit of list-making, a new item. But it&#8217;s a carry-over.<br \/>\nSee, I&#8217;m still PO&#8217;ed about No. 3. Bent out of shape, I tell you. I<br \/>\n<i>get<\/i> the side of the scenario that&#8217;s grounded in business, profit,<br \/>\ndetachment, transactions, and so on. But then I see the other side, the<br \/>\nside that spells big changes for us in the weeks ahead. It boils over to the<br \/>\nneutral-transactive (mere business, my friend) rationale, makes a mess of it.<br \/>\nAnd I think about the agent who called me last night when I was at Ph.&#8217;s indoor<br \/>\nsoccer game to comfort me with &quot;I know how hard this must be for you&quot; before<br \/>\nasking if we would <i>welcome<\/i> her and her clients for a showing. Without<br \/>\ngoing into the rest of the details about the conversation following the smarmy<br \/>\npreamble, just know that this morning we switched the contact number to D.&#8217;s<br \/>\ncell phone. Tks to goodness D.&#8217;s willing to take such calls.<\/p>\n<p>5. As a result of no. 3 and no. 4, I&#8217;ve been studying<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/orangehousing.com\/\">orangehousing.com<\/a> line by line more than<br \/>\npouring fresh filling into EWM&#8217;s neglected shell. <\/p>\n<p>6. After checking out an apartment this evening, the four of us grabbed up<br \/>\nsome Chinese takeout. Hot-n-sour soup is just what I need when my sinuses<br \/>\nare recovering, when my throat is raw, phlegm-chaffed. Even if I don&#8217;t eat<br \/>\nthe tofu and cabbage and [I have no idea what that was], the broth is perfect.<br \/>\nJust the thing to top off this challenger for worst week. The soup was<br \/>\nterrific, but I remain, for today at least, too jaded to accept the promise from<br \/>\nmy fortune cookie: &quot;Happy life is just in front of you.&quot; Mr. Clumsy must&#8217;ve<br \/>\ndropped that cookie in the wrong bag, handed it to the wrong person.
