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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If the Chron's first choice was David Dewhurst, I'm not sure how far their opinion can be trusted.
