I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm glad folks here are pretty okay.

I was watching a procedural this season which featured a large municipal power loss, and the way they were instructed to save cellphone batteries totally ignored the fact that they were driving everywhere, and car chargers...cops all have car chargers for their phones don't they? That's my go to backup.

And my last car and this one will charge devices even when the car isn't running. Unfortunately the Beemer doesn't have a charger in the boot, so I can't safely leave anything charging in there. But if I'm in the car...totes perfectamundo.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy crap, y'all! I was sad that my shoes didn't fully dry by the end of the workday yesterday....

Just looked at a few apartments, and I think I'm just going to take one of them. It's nice enough, good enough price, good enough location. I saw a cheaper one that was OK, but semi-crappy and not an ideal location -- basically the (more expensive) equivalent of my place in Queens that I grew to hate, so I don't think the savings is actually worth it. So I guess that's done?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Unfortunately the Beemer doesn't have a charger in the boot, so I can't safely leave anything charging in there.

Wait, some cars do have chargers in the trunk?

That's good, right? When will you move?

I'll move 8/1. Now I just have to figure out how to get the application package submitted, since the broker is all booked until I have to go to a wedding. I sort of feel like I should look more, but I know I'm fussy AND there's not much available for August, so fuck it.

Yeah--that's the distinction I was making. The BMW doesn't, but my previous car, the Jetta, did.

Yay for decisions, Jesse?

Storm does sound scary, wow.

Mine does.

I am definitely already second-guessing myself! But now I'm going to write a check for money I may or may not have...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sounds like a good call, Jesse, especially since you don't want to wait until Sept to move.

He hasn't cursed once.

That is hilarious. And I hope he is making lots of money.
