Which reminds me, Calli, if you're looking for gift suggestions for a one-year-old, maybe a book or two?
A book is always the right answer!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm doing revision of paperwork storage because we needed to find the name of the disability lawyer, because we got a letter from the organization managing the medicare saying "BTW, we need $30 a month towards that extra pull you're doing on your benefits or you're going to have to put up a lot of upfront money. Sorry, didn't we warn you about that?"
Still $30 a month is less than some of his prescriptions, and considering the $100,000s of coverage he's getting, it's a good deal. But we didn't need the stress. To counter, Hubby's taking strips of duct tape to his head in order to even out his "hairline". He's getting black amusement out of how much hair is on the tape.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The same thing we do every weekend, Pinky. Shuttling the kids to soccer and swimming.
That seems like a roundabout way to take over the world. Still, not a bad plan.

When did they put John Adams on $1 coins?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Good news: we got an offer on our house.
Bad news: $25k below the listing price, which is already a good deal under what we bought it for.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That is good news, Dana. And it's just a starting point for negotiations, right?

Sorry about the price, Dana. I hope you can come to an agreement that's okay and ends with you having more money and less house.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Theoretically, but we're worried that if we counter, they could just walk away, and it's taken this long to get one offer.

Yeah, that's a tough call.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My weekend plans are typing up a midterm, grading a quiz, prepping for a presentation, prepping my classes for this week, doing laundry, and cleaning my apartment. Also, lots of Robitussin, because I can't stop coughing.
