I better get my inheritance check deposited pronto.
I guess I really am an adult. My first thought upon seeing the check wasn't "vacation in Hawaii!" but "new tires." (Not even an exclamation mark in my thoughts.) I am now officially dull.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Yeah, when I got the check from Dad's estate I was all, "Ok, that's the last of the debt gone." And, yes, I bought some new stuff, but that was as much due to the whole, "Hey, I have income that use to go toward paying down my debt," as inheritance stuff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Day whatever of the furlough. The appeal of lounging around the house all day has worn off...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So I don't forget: I think I'll make this apple quickbread for the office.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

My paycheck shows on the bank computer but hasn't been posted to my account yet. WTF, bank?

OK, my first actual expenditure was hi-tech windshield wipers for my car. Also paid up on a bunch of credit stuff. Will have to wait until the check actually clears for more financial excitement.

Here's something for the Harry Potter fans: a documentary someone's making about the rise of Quidditch as an actual sport. It's pretty endearing, and I suspect that, like other sports documentaries, if I see it, I'll cry.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Of course, the Senate deal is an incredibly stupid deal that just guarantees we'll do this dance all over again in January, but hey, no US credit default, so yay.
