Susan, great news! It's great when things turn out to be annoyances, rather than catastrophes.

Are you still going to think about looking for a job? Maybe if you find one that's 2-3 days a week, you can build up the kind of financial safety net that would alleviate panic in the event of future car woes/furnace exploding/sudden attack of leprosy.

That's great news, Susan (compared to the alternatives, at the very least).

Random things...My feet are currently green and fuzzy? I found an apartment complex right by school, which is exciting, though I'd need to get a bike.

Either you stepped in meteor shit t /Creepshow or you got bit by a were-muppet.

Yep, but it's feeling less urgent. I've backed off from "any halfway tolerable job, NOW," to "take my time and either find a place that'll let me work from home or a job that offers the right balance of pay and fit with my lone wolf work habits, preferably part-time and at UW." (Since DH works at UW, I worked there recently enough to count as "familiar with University policies and procedures," and most of my work experience is in academia.)

Close. Neon green fuzzy socks. I've been going shoeless a lot lately, as my left foot has been complaining.

Sounds like a pl;an, Susan.

I don't know if I can get more random than my wrong-headed interpretation of song lyrics upthread.

Attack the board with hummus?

Susan, glad its good news.

I have knocked several items off my to-do list. Weird, huh?

Attack the board with hummus?

If I only had some hummus (a heart, a brain)...

Good news, Susan!
