It Gets Better
I've always loved Dan Savage on This American Life. (I've never really read his columns.) One of my all-time favorite TAL stories is where Savage talks about same-sex marriage and his son's perspective on it.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

So happy for you! Also, jealous. Bob had to take his place off the market for now because it was getting no interest and what he'd be able to sell it for would mean swallowing big losses. But he is able to rent it so he's going to do that for a while. Still, it sucks.

Always Anti-fascist!
I read Savage Love. I admire how he never says "You know what? Gross." I might be tempted to, if I were him. I get the feeling that he makes people feel better by answering their questions.

oh lisa, so sorry. But at least renting is covering some of the cost. I need to look at the numbers again and I need to call my mortgage company about getting a mortgage on the new place once I pay the parents back the money they fronted. So lucky, I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't use a sleep mask, because of the touching of the scalp. Irregular pressure.
I am deciding whether the Thelonious Monk station is better for sleeping to than the Miles Davis Pandora station. I give myself thirty minutes, and then cry inside if I'm not asleep before the timer shuts off.
One can intimate that I've been sadface the past two nights. Normally the Ambien has me not caring by then.
Great news, msbelle!
