Sophia,

when I had surgery for a "female problem" they gave me temp underwear which was mesh held together on the sides with medical tape.

this is all to say, with some ingenuity, I think you could have fashioned yourself with appropriate undergarments using a smaller pair, scissors, and an ace bandage.

~ma for Kat and family!

Speaking of house things, I sent an email to our lawyer last night which contained the question:

Also, will not paying our June mortgage payment screw up whatever angle you're currently working with the CU or PMI company?

He wrote back and said:

I spoke with [banker] from [Credit Union] yesterday. The lender will start negotiations until you are at least 30 days in arrears on your mortgage. If the mortgage payment isn't made, the earliest I can begin negotiations is the middle of July at which time [credit union] will contact the PMI company. I spoke with [realtor] to update her and suggested that she keep our current buyers for as long as possible.

I actually don't know if that means if I should or shouldn't make our mortgage payment. Anyone have any thoughts?

Lots of house~ma, Kat. That place reminds me in a lot of ways of the house my best friend bought in the Oakland hills a couple of years ago, all stairs and porches and little rooms and nooks.

And general vibes to Nora, because I can't make heads or tails of that email from your lawyer and so can't vibe anything specific, and because you are so due for this stupid house misery to END.

I think there may be words missing from that e-mail. I'd try asking the lawyer directly.

House!ma Kat!

Love Clueless too.

People who don't like black and white and red together are just wrong.

Also - the grown-up puppy of the day is a very cute papillon-sheltie cross. Adorable!

Yesterday's grown-up pup was a pug that lives with a liver flatcoat. Both very cute.

house~ma, Kat, and surgery~ma for Grace!

Good luck to Kat and Grace for house and surgery!

pug that lives with a liver flatcoat.

I cannot figure out why I love smushed faced, wrinkled dogs so much. I LOVE pugs, but not as much as Shar-Pei's. I just want to squish their wrinkles!!!!

House~ma and surgery~ma for Grace!

I just used an app for Walgreen's to refill a prescription--scanned the bar code on the bottle. Took one second. I love living in the future.

Happy Birthday, Java Cat!

I was tired yesterday and laid down around 6pm thinking maybe I'd nap until I had dance class. I woke up when the alarm went off and said "no". Then I woke up around 10pm and thought fuck that, and slept until morning. 14 hours. Dang.

House and hospital~ma for Kat.

And job~ma for Gud.

I'm equal parts annoyed with myself and with a local carpet cleaning service. I bought a 3-room carpet cleaning deal through Living Social, and I discovered when I went to schedule it that they don't do apartments. It was in the fine print of the deal, but I didn't look for it because I wasn't aware anti-apartment bias was a thing. Unfortunately it's too late to get my money back from Living Social. (Although I did email them mentioning that I wasn't happy about things and why.) I guess losing $55 will teach me to read the fine print in the future.
