Shortly after I'd placed my order, CL had a mad rush of people, new and regulars. Including a dude here for a 6 week med school rotation who turns out is from NM too and just randomly saw this place around the corner from where they put him up. He had been missing the food & I was all, this will fix you up! You miss posole? She has awesome posole, you can get it to go as well. She gave him a taste & he left with his tacos, posole & told Ro she's feeding him for the rest of his stint here. Convinced another newbie to try the sopes and the guy ordering a quesadilla to go with the handmade corn tortilla. And explained what stuff was to some other newbies (nopales, rajas, crema, sopes, posole.)
Ro always insists I sit at the counter where you order so we can chat, but we really didn't get to this time. As I left, she told me I hafta sit at the counter no matter what, I'm good for business:)
Good luck with the real estate maneuvering, Pix. That house & view is lovely, even the older kitchen. It's classic.
Peacefulness, Bonny.
We had the highest offer, but the buyers are worried the house won't appraise high enough, in which case we'd have to renegotiate — they are trying to close their own escrow on a new house, and it's contingent on them closing this one, so I get why they are concerned. They have a lower offer from people who offered 50% cash up front, so... yeah. We will probably lose it since we can't take the chance of waiving appraisal and getting into a situation where our loan wouldn't go through.
But we are putting in an offer on this place tomorrow morning — it's big and beautiful, but we would need a roommate to cover costs, and it's not in our ideal location. Oh, house-buying in LA. Why.

I slept 12 hours last night and I am already tired tonight. Makes no sense. I guess my body thinks it is almost 10 and that is normal bed time, so I will just go with it.
I got tired early tonight, too, and I'm already in bed. DST paradox.
I got in bed at 9:30 last night, because even though I didn't get up with them to go to the airport, I did wake up with my aunt and uncle at 4:30 this morning. But I also went back to sleep!
Am still exhausted.
I got hardly any sleep last night, because I came down with a cold, and every time I started to fall asleep, my throat would close off and I couldn't breathe.
And stupidly, I'm going into work this morning, because we have a day off tomorrow, and there's something I need to finish.
STUPID WORK.
I have Friday off, which is when I figure I can recover.
I slept all day Sunday, basically, and I'm still tired. Had interesting apocalyptic dreams, at least.
Oh well, another day in the expense report mines.
Completely trivial hivemind question - this ad has been showing up constantly on Hulu, and the guy who plays the dad is giving me such Hey-it's-that-guyness it's driving me bananas. I can't find a cast list for the ad anywhere, and I'm seeing the damn guy every 12 minutes every time we go to Hulu. I've seen him before, in an actual not-a-commercial performance, I'm positive; I just have no freaking idea where or when! Someone help? Hey, it's that guy! I think. Who?
