Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

not your mom's socks.

belated job~ma Jesse!

36 hours to go in this project and then I get Hamilton. This is not a drill. I can do this.

{i hate all my words, my words are broken, what day is it?}

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Almost Hamilton Day, apparently!!!

meara, ugh, that is super awkward. I think at this point you can safely pretend it never happened.

Meara - if you ever see the person in person, take them to lunch.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You guys, the Second Avenue Subway is here, and I just rode it to get from therapy to work! I saved ten minutes, and I didn't have to ride the motherfucking 4/5/6 trains!

Sadly I don't see her in person--she lives in Louisiana. I've never even met her!

I don't want to be awake. I am really hating the late sunrises. A lot.

yay for new subway!

whoops, I realized I made a mistake on the forms for the death certificate. Argh.

And now I get to call the Social Security Administration...

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woohoo, new subway! That's cool.

Y'all, why did my coworker mess with my stuff? I don't care what she does with her stuff, but I had a system, and she has ruined my system.

I literally thought that day would never come. And another friend of mine posted on Facebook that she had just confidently told a tourist that there was no way the Second Avenue Subway was open, and it probably wouldn't be open until 2018! Ha!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

My great aunt had 20k or so in uncashed checks stashed around. Most of them long past being valid. She had a pension and other income, so I'm glad at least that she wasn't struggling while having all that lying around.

On a semi-related note, it's worth checking state unclaimed property websites every so often. Mostly anything you find will be small--I think I got ~$50 once--but Dylan's mother & uncles are able to pay for excellent nursing home care for his very elderly grandmother who has severe dementia largely because they discovered she had the mineral rights to some property that had been in her family. She'd been aware of this in the past, but apparently everyone had lost track of it (and the people administering it had lost track of her) because it didn't amount to much and no one expected it ever would...only now they're fracking for natural gas on the property. And while I'm anti-fracking, I *am* grateful the family found out about the claim under the circumstances.
