Second Avenue Subway! When I lived at 74th and Second, that was still a fairy tale.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
That was the funniest joke on Mad Men.

OMG, Tom, I can't believe it! I've never lived in NYC, but I somehow have absorbed the mythical nature of the Second Avenue Subway from my friends who have.
Yay Hamilton Day!
My conference call that I was going to have to rush this morning to be ready for is being repurposed. Whew!

I thought I'd check the unclaimed property even though the last time I looked there wasn't anything -but I found some account I don't remember with $80!

I took another day off to spare my co-workers the Cold From Hell. However, if I take another unplanned absence this month, I'll lose my bonus for the month. Sorry, co-workers! My germs are your germs!

Hey, I have $9.82 coming to me. I'll take it.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So, DH and I have found a house (online) we both think would be perfect for us in Ypsilanti (I'll be Aimee's neighbor!). It looks like someone was trying to flip it and ran out of money--it has no kitchen. But we like that, as we can decide what kind of kitchen we want, and it's SO CHEAP--$79k. We can use some of the money we get from selling our house to put in a kitchen an still have it be a very economical option. It's this one: [link]
If it's still on the market when we go there at the end of the month...who knows.

I've been working remotely, so it's my first day back in the office in weeks. I managed to get up on time, make coffee, and even meditated this morning.

That looks great, Scrappy!
Good on you, shrift.
OK, I should stop luxuriating in not being late for a deadline and actually do my work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh wow, Scrappy, that is a lot of potential!
A Lyft driver the other day was saying his buddy had done a lot of work on his house before selling it, and the new buyers gutted it anyway. So it feels like you might as well get a place with nothing to start! (Although I like that bathroom a lot.)
