Vortex, does that mean you got the/a new job? Sorry if I missed it earlier - I skim pretty seriously in this thread.
no, it means that my condo will probably go to settlement in the next 30 days or so.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Again, Jesse, not bad. Just... pretentious without cause. When I'm done, I'll drop it in the mail to you if you want.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Eh. Right now all I want to read is Lee Child.

Who is Lee Child?
And K earwormed me with "The Wheels on the Bus" which is making me contemplate putting my head in the oven.

He writes this series of thrillers/mysteries about an ex-Army MP named Jack Reacher who finds himself in the craziest situations, but somehow it works. In the one I'm reading now, the Secret Service hired him (sort of) to help figure out who's trying to kill the Vice President-elect.

sounds entertaining! I wish all of my crazy situations would somehow workout.

Instead though? My crazy situations end up with me doing gobs of laundry, buying a chest deep freeze, and having a hospital grade breast pump from an anonymous person on an IV stand in my living room.

Totally entertaining. (Edit: NOT your current situations.) And somehow he always gets to have a fling in the midst of it all

It's really about a couple different authors, who learned that -- GASP! -- didn't make them super rich, and actually entails work and stress.
Hey! That's my experience!

My current situation is occasionally very entertaining. Like yesterday when I was locked in my classroom to the breast pump and a kid who felt she absolutely HAD to get back in, forced a janitor to let her in (which he shouldn't do) and interrupted me.
I was pissed and embarrassed at the time. Now I'm just sort of vaguely amused.
My mom knit two stuffed animals for the kids. They are so cute I can't stand it (a kitten and a bunny).
