Consuela, I'm so sorry that you have to go through all of this at once -- it would be hard enough to hack any one of those issues! Much strength to you and your family.

Consuela, that seems like a lot to handle. You seem to be doing OK, but hang in there!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Told the ED my sitch, everything is cool on that front. Didn't get a chance to tell boss lady because she CHOPPED the tip of her FINGER OFF And was in for surgery. God, we make a pair.

Is your ED Sandra Bullock's ex husband? Because if not, there seems to be an epidemic of that today. (I get all the good gossip from the elevator.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Brenda - that was my thought too! How strange.
Juliebird, at least the boss lady has other things to worry about than you not being able to drive for a couple of weeks.

Punishingly Intricate
I assume any refi process would be a pain, and I have zero experience to make any kind of comparisons anyway.
I did one this last fall and it was super easy and I handled it almost 100% via email. I was suspicious because the guy wasn't local but it turned out that didn't matter at all. I went with him because a friend who handles real estate stuff for a non-profit here had just done a refi with him and recommended him. Was shockingly easy.
Consuela, so sorry all this shit is hitting at once.
The London thing I just heard about on NPR. I can't even process.

When I pointed out that as recently as a month ago, an attempt to do that resulted in hysterics, she said that "She's not the same person now."
Umm... no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We had a fire drill an hour or so ago, which was mildly irritating--having one five minutes before you planned to go for lunch--pisser. But I delayed my 2:00 and told him I'd swing by his desk since I'd pick up lunch instead of going straight back in (and skip the crowds for the elevators). Except they were doing a floor by floor drill, so I got turfed out of the cafe mid-sandwich, and not just onto their patio, but 300 feet away. Uh, is that fair to ask of an enterprise? Has anyone here ever been fire drilled out of the establishment at which you were eating?
Good thing, though, that I'd not taken my second sally down the stairs of the day yet. Now that's taken care of. But my two o'clock is chilling in another conversation--with a guy who knows what we're supposed to talk about way better than I do. Oh, oops. Maybe I'll just sit at my desk and raise risks and then move departments.
