I'm not worried about my checking & savings accounts, but I'm damned relieved I wasn't planning on using my trust fund for anything in the next few years.
Yeah, the stock that caused my sister to say that she should have put the whole trust into one stock (because it had gone from $3/share to close to $60)? The one I told her to sell 2 years ago at about $60 because it was insane to stay invested in single stocks when my brother and I are counting on this trust to pay our debts? That one? Yeah, she didn't sell any and it's at $15 now.
My 401K I worry less about because that is long-term investing. And I control it, not my craxy sister.
I'm not worried about banks at all for the moment.

Hmmm, sadly, I just realized I have no idea who my Congressman/woman is.
It might be Nancy Pelosi.

No, my part of the city is in District 12. It turns out it's Jackie Speier.

Well, that's cool too.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
The one I told her to sell 2 years ago at about $60 because it was insane to stay invested in single stocks when my brother and I are counting on this trust to pay our debts? That one? Yeah, she didn't sell any and it's at $15 now.
Can't you and your brother stage a coup to take control away from her?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HMOG.
We actually had a kind of funny semi-related thing at work recently... Someone found some actual stock certificates that hadn't been sold years ago, like they should have been. They were for some drug store chain that doesn't exist anymore, but the stocks turned into Rite-Aid, I think. Turns out, Rite-Aid or whichever one was worth like $3/share when we went to sell it. The CEO was standing in the hall screaming, "How can a DRUG STORE be at THREE DOLLARS?!?!?" Of course, this was all found money, so not an actual problem for us. But still.

So this week? Is made of fail.
Roof leak. Guess I just didn't notice it last night. So far, just discoloration on the wall/ceiling in the bedroom and ceiling of adjacent closet.
But water leaks are one of my phobias. I've had nightmares involving crumbling ceilings and mold. Water stains alone give me the creeps.
Sigh.
And as soon as I eat, I need to vacuum and mop because the floors are gross.

Just got a document draft back from someone who I've had to harrass for two weeks with the following note:
I need to radically rewrite the overview I wrote, which is a stream of consciousness diatribe I can only call Clinton-esque in its unnecessary length and self serving tone.
Frankly, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I do know I don't want to open the document.
