Just don't respond. You are under no obligation to the neighbor. It is between you and your landlady. If she gets pestery, "I've taken care of it, thanks."

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I have no idea what to text back to neighbor llady that doesn't offend her

You aren't comfortable giving strangers access to your home without you or the property owner being there. Period. And a minimum of 24 hours (if that is the law there) notice.

I have a spot of eczema that just does not want to go away entirely. It gets just close enough to being better that I forget to put the goo on it and then it flares back up. Does not like heat and stress, both of which I am swimming in.

Lucic scores again! And I suspect he will when he gets home tonight, too.

And Chicago makes it a contest!

The customer I'm talking to is DVRing the game and yelling at his son for celebrating goals and spoiling him for the game.

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

I got my formal employment offer. I guess I'm happy about it, but really I'm mostly just tired right now.

And I have to do a pre-employment drug screen, which I tried to do on my lunch break but the lab was closed (for lunch), so I have to go tomorrow morning and I just realized I left the paperwork in my desk at work. I can go into the office before the lab opens, so it's not a big deal, but man this whole process has just been one damn thing after another and it's not done yet. Maybe after that's behind me I will feel more celebratory.

But it will be nice to have a salary, and it's a nice one, benefits kick in after 30 days (I think, all that's on the paperwork that I left at the office - something kicks in after 30 days. something else after three months, blah blah blah I hope the 2-day orientation is informative because tere is a lot I don't know), super short commute, regular hours that I find congenial, work that is pretty interesting and within my capabilities. Good things.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Almost through the slog, -t!

It'll be good to have it resolved and some stability.
