I scheduled my first mammo today, too!
And I'm SO glad to hear that your finances are doing well, Connie. What a relief.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

It makes it easier to contemplate that $300 worth of work on the Jeep's heater. I don't think I can blame Ancestral Puritans for a reluctance to spend money. Perhaps it's the two parents who grew up in the Depression. Though that goes both ways, doesn't it? One type is spendthrift, one is reluctant to spend anything.

So I have a handful of certificates at work for various seminars. I figured, let's grab a handful of frames, so they look nice. Cheap ones. Why not. Finally remember to bring them in to the office. Seems I picked up 8x10 frames instead of 8.5x11. A little too much to trim off the certificates. No clue where the Target receipt is. Sigh. Hey, at least the office is in the low 80's today, and a small breeze can be felt.

How white is the hospital I'm in? Well, I ordered a chocolate cupcake with dinner (because i could) and what showed up on my tray was a chocolate choc chip muffin cut into quarters with a dollop of whipped cream. Total muffin!

Our wings are not tired.
Target is pretty good about taking back stuff. Also, I found one time that if I gave them the debit card I used they could tell what I had purchased and refund it to that card. That actually was disconcerting considering their security history, but I got my stuff returned.
Mmmmm, now I want a muffin! (but not a choc chip bagel)

Ann, that's a ferret.

As long as there was chocolate, it doesn't sound bad.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
At least they adhere to the "have a muffin" doctrine.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
People who know about academic stuff: I just got an email from one of the schools I applied to last year, saying that they're looking to hire someone starting in January, and want to know if I'm interested. I am definitely interested, but I've got a contract here for the full school year. Not sure what to do. Suggestions? (The email was just saying that they're contacting the people who applied last year, to see if they can just hire from that pool, rather than doing a whole new search.)

Is the potential position TT? If so, I think breaking your contract (if hired) would be understood. Anyway, there's no harm in saying you're interested.

I'm sure people on all sides of academic hiring are used to contingencies pending unexpected opportunities.
