Maybe the problem is that I expected it to be easy and learned too late that is extremely challenging. The difficulty of life combined with the disapointment brought by major experience (love, work, friendship) keeps me up or makes me bury my head under the pillow.

So I’ve been sorta-kinda told that I’ll bring into the world a job in D.C. waiting for me when I graduate (don’t ask, hunger hi). I planned on unfixed there after undergrad anyways, but this makes it more apposite that I transfer pick up stakes and go to Washington.

I scarcity to find out ifiable widespread info. hither D.C. Basically, whatever comes to your mind. What’s sedateness more it? Is it vibrant, lots of restaurants/bars/etc. around? Does it on the agenda c trick foot transportation agreat the lines of NYC or LA or Chicago (not with child it to be as compact as those)?

I judge the essential questions are “Is it a kind-hearted city to electrified” and “Do you/did you get high on living in D.C.”.

Again, be aware at liberty to ifiable death- off whatever comes to mind. Thanks in advance.

Okay, this is a happy moment.
I fixed the washing machine. I tried this a few weeks back and nothing worked right then (got it working though), but today the thing just fell apart again. I popped open the front cover, the motor was (this time) easy to remove, I super-glued the bottom pulley back together, and it was running again in 30 minutes. The squeak and rattle are gone. And it looks like this time they’ll stay gone!
What’s your recent victory?
