Laura, can you put up a "soon to be on the market" sign or something like that just for the day when you want to attract people's attention?

Oh, sj! How frustrating. Obviously vw will understand, but I understand why you are livid.

vw, was, as usual, wonderfully understanding, but I still feel awful.

I was hoping I could guilt the mechanic who "fixed" it to come out here today because he's an hour away and I have no way of getting back there until tomorrow, when TCG can drive it, but he didn't seem to be feeling the guilt. I would go somewhere else, but I can't find anyone else in the area who is licensed to install hand controls. I can't even rent a car because it takes 48 hours for them to get the one hand controlled car they have (for probably all of NE) to my local branch. t /rant

msbelle and sj. I do think I am going to do that. I'm sure we have plenty of places I could get a sign quickly. Now to figure a way to hang it.

I think I have earned one of these cupcakes I bought.

Laura, tell me again where you are located.

I think I have earned one of these cupcakes I bought.

I think you are correct.

Good luck with the house stuff, Laura.

The real estate market is so dynamic in this neighborhood...and the agents are so, um...attentive...you are likely to find signs saying, "May go on sale if I badger them enough...just ask me how!"

The add-ons are many...coming soon, contract pending, going going gone, You missed it! Price reduced, relisted, ETC.

I think I have earned one of these cupcakes I bought.

Laura, good luck with the house stuff. It's very stressful. Please take care of yourself.

Got an email today from the BYU Art Gallery saying an exhibit Hubby and I had attended last year was in its last weeks. I remembered we'd wanted to go back to that a few times when it was less crowded, and I wondered why we hadn't or checked for new exhibits, then I remembered Hubby didn't know he had cancer then and wasn't systematically destroying his immune system, so we could go out in crowds more. And I went down the rabbit hole of exhibits we might not go to again, and, well . . .

Okay, so tomorrow is my birthday, not a fun number and no big deal.

HOWEVER, apparently there is something called "AwesomeCon." Which, one can only assume is, dare I say it, awesome.

It's actually within walking distance if the weather is nice.

I've never been to a con. Somehow, the prospect makes me nervous, like I'll never be cool enough, and practical considerations such as GERMS.

I'm torn. Seriously torn.

Oh Connie. What a terrible rabbit hole to be in.

Whatever virtual comfort would be acceptable, I'm sending it.

My friend who just had an esophageal tumor removed and a huge portion of his digestive tract resectioned has had those moments recently too.

I feel so impotent in offering good wishes. That doesn't seem enough.
